The City of New Westminster has shown its leadership in energy efficiency by signing up to be a pilot community in the provincial Community Action on Energy Efficiency (CAEE) initiative - Phase 3. Through MEMPR’s CAEE program, pilot communities are focusing on advancing energy efficiency through municipal policies and bylaws - read the Local Government Policy Instruments Initiative program for more details.

As part of CAEE, the City of New Westminster will develop a strategy for improving the efficiency of municipal buildings, including at least five retrofit projects, under the guidance of a newly formed energy management committee.
