Canada Coal Transition

Canada is leaving coal behind and moving to a net-zero carbon emissions future. The Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA) can help communities and businesses adapt.

We’re here to help workers and communities in areas that rely on coal to adjust, by supporting skills development and economic diversification activities during the transition to a greener economy.


Transition to a low-carbon economy
The Government of Canada is taking action to support areas that still rely
on coal.

This $150 million fund aims to help communities move away from coal by investing in infrastructure. The initiative is set to end on March 31, 2025.
