Canopy Collingwood is being offered for a second year.
Local residents will be provided a financial incentive in the form of a rebate on the purchase of up to two trees from a recognized nursery or garden centre operation, or the materials required to establish a pollinator garden on private property.
During the Spring planting phase of the initiative, Collingwood residents who purchase a tree(s) or plant materials before July 4th, 2022, will be eligible to receive 50% of the cost (before delivery charges and taxes) in the form of a rebate from the Town. The maximum rebate per tree amount is $150 each tree (maximum 2). The rebate for a pollinator garden is also 50% of the cost to a maximum of $150 with one rebate per property.
The program will launch again in September for Fall planting.
