Yard rebates in Montréal
4 programs can pay Montréal residents for yard projects: 3 run by the council or the utilities that serve it, and 1 open to anyone in Quebec. The largest, Saint-Laurent Electric Mower and Yard Tool Subsidy, pays up to $280 per household.
Utility programs only apply to that utility’s customers, so check who supplies your water and power.
