Pocket Change Parties

Who says making change can't be Fun?

The Pocket Change Project is facilitating a series of green energy “wine and cheese” parties, where folks can learn about any aspect of green energy they are interested in - understanding the rebate opportunities for home energy upgrades, solar energy, what net-zero actually looks like, greener home heating and cooling solutions and more. Let us know if would like to host a Pocket Change Party and what you are interested in learning about! We’ll book the experts and help you organize!

This is ongoing initiative, started in collaboration with our friends at the City of Toronto.
