New "Green" grant

[heartwood]

are you directing your question to me sashguy? this ministry is in Canada...not sure what you mean about certification...

[Sashguy]

By certification, I mean any Contractors who might qualify, who are pro preservation, may find it easier to suggest modifications from the inside rather than fighting the current structure as an outsider;

"The agency requires residents taking advantage of rebates to work with a qualified and screened contractor listed on GreenON.ca. Contractors across Ontario interested in participating in the program are invited to sign up at GreenON.ca/contractor-signup.
Contractors participating in the program must satisfy established criteria and complete training for specific low-carbon renovations."

this is what I heard back from the ministry...actually I am pleasantly surprised that they responded...

Thank you for your email regarding rebates for historic windows. We appreciate the feedback that you have provided and we will consider the information for future program designs.

Jade, it would be rude not to reply. Reading the reply you received gave me a bit of a chuckle, a very Canadian way to say, not interested now get lost!

[heartwood]

gothic...yea, that's the way I read it too!
they addressed me as 'Mr. Mortimer'...I've never
met a man named jade....I did get an apology though
when I responded that I was proud to be a woman
in the trade....

Thanks for following up! Haha, such a Canadian response. Love it.
I checked, and unfortunately storm windows are not included in this rebate. Only new double or triple panes with a U factor of 1.4 or under. Boo!

I wondered too but I'm a lousy example because I'm clueless about everything.

...in September when I walk from Vancouver to Seattle???

That's over a hundred miles; are you sure you don't want to hike to Bellingham - or even Lynden?
