Read the release from Fenestration Review Here – Manufacturing to continue during Ontario lockdown
Existing residential projects and renovations allowed to go forward during Ontario lockdown
Today, the Honourable Tom Osborne, Minister of Finance and President of Treasury Board, announced a new Residential Construction Rebate Program that will allow homeowners to save money on construction and renovations, while also helping to stimulate the economy and employment in the province’s construction industry. Homeowners can qualify for the Residential Construction Rebate in one of two ways:
Renovation Projects
A 25 per cent rebate is available for renovation projects for principal residences, up to a maximum rebate of $10,000 (based on a $40,000 project).
New Home Construction
A rebate of $10,000 is available for new home construction on homes valued up to $350,000 before HST.
Fenestration Canada along with several other associations joins Efficiency Canada to make an appeal to the Federal Government for a policy focused on deeper energy savings, with more homes upgrading insulation, windows, and heating and cooling systems. We encourage our members to read the letter and if you support it, send your message. It will be sent to your local federal and provincial representative. Click “Add your voice” to submit.
During our Regional Forums last week, some of our members mentioned having a hard time finding Personal Protective Equipment.
Fenestration Canada’s member, Adfast, urgently built a new factory to manufacture sprayable sanitizer and face shields. They assured us that they can deliver quickly anywhere in the country so if in need, think about supporting a fellow Fenestration Canada member!

As COVID-19 is still out there and that most of the country resumed installations and will have to interact more and more with customers, Fenestration Canada put together quick guidelines about the precautions measures to consider in the next few months.
