The Prairies NCA Working Group is a resource for municipalities participating in QUEST Canada\u2019s Net-Zero Communities Accelerator (NCA) program, and engaged in community energy planning, partnership-building and net-zero energy projects.<\/p>\n
Here we share experiences, lessons learned and transfer knowledge about best practices. Participants are leaders in moving toward achieving provincial greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals and transitioning toward a net-zero future.<\/p>\n
