Recommended Opportunity
The Green Municipal Fund’s (GMF) Growing Canada’s Community Canopies (GCCC)
is a $291M initiative that drives climate action by funding projects that plant and
manage trees in communities across the country. GCCC will support the planting of
at least 1.2 million new trees by March 31, 2031. The GCCC initiative is a part of GMF’s
broader approach to nature-based climate solutions focused on achieving
significant carbon sequestration and increasing forest and community resilience to
climate change.
GCCC offers funding to support the accessible, ambitious, resilient and equitable
expansion of tree canopies in communities. This includes projects that contribute to
incremental tree planting in and around population centres, such as community-
wide urban planting, forest restoration in naturalized areas and more localized
planting projects. GCCC supports projects that maximize the social, environmental
and economic benefits of tree planting and that increase biodiversity and ecosystem
health.
For more information on GCCC, please visit our initiative webpage.
GCCC is funded by the Government of Canada and delivered by the Federation of
Canadian Municipalities. FCM has partnered with Tree Canada to enable capacity
development.
