Falling 'Dominoes': Nanaimo Latest B.C. Municipality to Ban Natural Gas Heating in New Homes
The Province
New homes in Nanaimo won't be allowed to have natural gas as a primary heat source as of July 1, 2024. It's the latest B.C. city to jump ahead of the province's "zero-carbon" goal.
Along with Nanaimo, where the ban will come into effect July 1, 2024, Saanich and Victoria are also early adopters of the step code, while Whistler, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Squamish and Port Coquitlam have taken steps to combat emissions from new buildings.
The bans are controversial, with some saying they reduce resilience in an emergency, and others arguing they are one of the best ways to reduce municipal emissions. You can read more in this article from The Province.
