there may be more, but a good starting point would be the ecoenergy retrofit grants and incentives.  natural resources canada's ecoenergy retrofit program provides financial support to implement energy-saving projects. there are different application processes for homes, commercial and institutional buildings and industrial facilities. together we can reduce energy-related greenhouse gases and air pollution, leading to a cleaner environment for canada. also, there was a temporary home renovation tax credit about a year back, but that no longer exists and nothing has replaced it yet.
