Seaton Village Green Neighbours
Seaton Village Green Neighbours (SVGN) is a community-based group dedicated to helping homeowners make their houses healthier and more comfortable, less dependent on polluting fossil fuels, and more resilient to the changing climate.
Running north and west from the intersection of Bathurst and Bloor Streets, the compact family-oriented neighbourhood of Seaton Village is the epitome of the 15-minute city with a strong sense of community and historic homes dating back to the 1880s.
SVGN is a partner community of the Toronto Home Energy Network and benefits from the support of the Seaton Village Residents’ Association.
About
Get Involved
Here are some ways you can join us:
Become a volunteer
Introduce yourself in the Contact Us section! SVGN is looking for help setting up their technical backend (email, shared drive, etc.) and for hosts to show off their home upgrades.
Update your home!
The most meaningful way to reduce your emissions is to cut fossil fuel use in your home. Switching from a furnace to a heat pump accomplishes that. Check out the Case Studies page for inspiration and to learn more.
