Navigate Energy Community Information Sessions - Keeping Our Community Doors Open
The Municipality of the County of Richmond is working with Navigate Energy on a program designed to help community halls better understand their energy use and access funding for building improvements.
The program is structured in a few simple steps:
- Community centres in the county sign up to take part in the program.
- Navigate Energy leads a funding application to cover the cost of professional energy assessments for each building. These assessments will identify practical opportunities for upgrades and improved efficiency.
- Navigate Energy will then lead a second funding application to cover the cost of completing the recommended upgrades.
We’re hosting two information sessions to walk through the program, answer questions, and see which community centres are interested in taking part.

World Elder Abuse Awareness Day - June 15 2026

World Elder Abuse Awareness Day - Building safe, supportive, and connected communities for seniors.
June 15, 2026, marks the 20th annual World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. In recognition of the day, Warden Lois Landry, on behalf of Municipal Council, has proclaimed June 15 as World Elder Abuse Awareness Day in Richmond County and encourages everyone to help prevent elder abuse.
Elder abuse affects 1 in 10 seniors in Canada, and it is much more common than most people know. Feeling alone and being treated unfairly because of age can make it worse. We all have a part to play in stopping it.
You can help in simple ways. Check in on an older neighbour. Speak up when you hear unfair comments about age. Help older adults stay connected to their community. Small acts of kindness can make a big difference.
We thank the Seniors Take Action Coalition of Richmond County, the Seniors Safety and Inclusion Coordinator, and the many caring people who quietly and generously support older adults every day. Your kindness helps make Richmond County a better place for everyone.
