Annual Energy Consumption

The Ontario Regulation 25/23 also requires broader public sector organizations to submit their annual energy consumption and greenhouse gas emission data by July 1 of the following year.

The UGDSB has published this data annually and posted it to the Boards website since the 2011-12 school year. The report has been generated using the Ministry of Energy’s reporting template.

Well Water Systems

There are 14 schools in our district that get their drinking water from wells. All of our other schools are on municipal water systems. In accordance with Ontario’s Drinking Water Systems Regulation (Ontario Regulation 170/03), Upper Grand’s annual reports on drink water systems are available online.
