Community

Stronger together

Sundamentals is community-driven — regional hubs and national campaigns where Canadians push the transition forward together.

Regional hub

Alberta

From Edmonton's solar rebates to Medicine Hat's HAT Smart program, Alberta communities are moving fast — and the province's prairie sunshine is one of Canada's best solar resources. Coal power is gone as of 2024; wind and solar are filling the gap.

Regional hub

Nova Scotia

Home to the Bay of Fundy's world-leading tidal resource and a strong residential solar community. In 2022, Sundamentals stood with Nova Scotians against a proposed net-metering surcharge that threatened the solar industry — public pressure won, and the province blocked it. Read the campaign. Fair net metering keeps the transition alive.

Campaign

Zero Plastic 2030

Clean energy is only part of a cleaner Canada. Our Zero Plastic 2030 campaign encourages households and businesses to phase out single-use plastics by the end of the decade — starting with simple, measurable swaps.

Swap the bag

One reusable bag replaces hundreds of single-use bags over its lifetime.

Refill, don't rebuy

A refillable bottle keeps roughly 150 plastic bottles per person out of landfills each year.

Choose better packaging

Favour paper, glass or metal — materials with real recycling streams.
