Kermit the Frog may have found it ain't easy being green, but homeowners across Canada can sing a different tune with the help of Emer's Guides to Energy Efficiency Grants and Rebates Programs.

Emer, casaGURU's green living guru, has put together a convenient and comprehensive guide to Energy Efficiency Grant and Rebate Programs for Canadian cities. It's a must-have checklist to help any homeowner to not only renovate green, but to also get paid to do so! With all of these free dollars to tap into, we have no excuse not to think green when selecting products and materials for our next home renovation project.

Simply click on your city from the list below and you'll be led to the appropriate guide (if you don't see your city listed, try the nearest one and many of the grants and rebates should also apply). Once at the guide you'll see it's broken into convenient sections to help make your search as easy and swift as possible. By clicking on the headline you'll be taken to the official page where you can find more information and ways to apply.
