Dear friends,

 

Ontario's conservation movement continues to grow - and this Tuesday we'll
be taking a big step forward when Citizens Bank of Canada launches a robust
green mortgage package backed up by a partnership of organizations and
companies that are working to help new homeowners improve the energy
efficiency of their homes and establish conservation practices.

 

It's been a pleasure working with John Filice, Citizen Bank's Director of
Residential Mortgage Development, Chris Chopik of Evolution Green
<http://www.evolutiongreen.com/>  and others in pulling together this
package.  Personally, I think it sets a new standard for green mortgages in
that it focuses on helping maximizing greenhouse gas reductions and other
conservation benefits in the home, and that it is wholly integrated with the
delivery of conservation products and services to new homeowners.   

 

But you'll have to let me know what you think after the details are
announced, and when we have a detailed presentation and discussion on the
green mortgage at the Conservation Summit on April 27 with Jean-Marc
Handfield, Vice President, Retail Operations, Citizens Bank of Canada.

 

Yet another reason to register today.

 

 

Chris Winter..
