WINNIPEG – With extreme weather becoming more frequent, unpredictable and severe, Wawanesa Insurance is offering $200,000 through its Wawanesa Climate Champions: Local Grants program for climate adaptation and mitigation projects.

The company has also doubled the maximum individual grant amount to $50,000. The Wawanesa Climate Champions: Local Grants are open to qualified projects in any Canadian community.

“From wildfires, to flooding and hailstorms, this past year has been the most destructive weather-wise in our country’s history,” said Jackie De Pape Hornick, director, communications and community impact at Wawanesa in a statement. “As our climate continues to change, Wawanesa is doing its part to help Canadians better protect what matters most.”

The deadline to apply for the Wawanesa Climate Champions: Local Grants is Sept. 26. Eligible organizations include registered charities, non-profits, and Indigenous communities. For project criteria or to submit an application, visit wawanesa.com.
