The program is open on a continuous basis. Municipal organizations and indigenous communities can submit their projects as of now.
The normative framework has been revised and simplified, with new terms and conditions making it easier to apply. Applicants are encouraged to familiarize themselves with it.
Note: In the event of any discrepancy between the English and French versions of this Web page or any documents related to the OASIS program, the French version will prevail.

OASIS aims to provide financial support to municipal organizations and indigenous communities to help them plan and carry out greening projects that will enable them to better adapt their environment to the impacts of climate change.
The OASIS program supports greening projects that will reduce the impact of heat waves and torrential rains, two weather phenomena that are becoming increasingly frequent as a result of climate change.
These extreme weather events pose a risk to public health. Their impact can be amplified by the way living environments are designed. For example, heavily mineralized surfaces (such as asphalt parking lots) create urban heat islands during heat waves, leading to public health problems. These same surfaces prevent water from seeping into the ground during heavy rain, creating overflow, flooding and water backup, and damaging infrastructure.
The aim of OASIS is to support the installation or improvement of green infrastructure to create cold islands and allow rainwater infiltration.
The program has three components:
Applications must be submitted no later than December 1, 2025, at noon for Component 2, and December 31, 2025, at noon for Components 1 and 3. No applications will be accepted after these deadlines. The program will remain open until funds are exhausted. OASIS is part of the 2030 Plan for a Green Economy. It is financed by the Electrification and Climate Change Fund (ECCF).
The following municipal organizations are eligible to apply:
Any municipal organization or indigenous community can apply on behalf of a group of eligible organizations. However, financial assistance is granted to a single organization, designated as being responsible for the project and for reporting to the Ministère.
Interested municipal organizations should first consult the
Normative Framework ( PDF,
1.8 MB)
for full details of how OASIS works.
To submit a project to one of the program components, follow these steps:
Risk analyses carried out under Component 1 must follow the approach detailed in
Guidelines for Territory-Wide Greening Planning and for the Production of Risk Analyses Related to Heat and Heavy Rainfall ( PDF, 1,2 MB) . Projects submitted under Component 2 must be based on a similar analysis to be eligible for funding.
Analyses of the resilience of green infrastructure carried out under components 1 or 2 should follow the approach detailed in
Guidelines for Fostering the Resilience of Green Infrastructure ( PDF, 1,4 Mo, french)
.
See also the VRAC-PARC project, in which Québec public health head offices are carrying out regional assessments of vulnerability to climate change, with a view to devising individual regional adaptation plans. We invite you to contact your public health office for more information.
Your project must have been developed using knowledge gained from a heat wave and intense precipitation risk analysis, as described in Component 1.
*A municipal organization or indigenous community is considered an applicant as of when the Ministère de l’Environnement, de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques, de la Faune et des Parcs (MELCCFP) receives the project intent form. MELCCFP advisors will support the applicant at every stage of the application process.
