Steven Myers, MBA

Minister of Environment, Energy and Climate Action, Government of Prince Edward Island

Canada’s smallest province is taking action in big ways, aiming to become Canada's first net-zero province by 2040. This team is leading ambitious initiatives, including a Free Heat Pump Program that has delivered over 11,000 heat pumps to Islanders in need thus far - cutting furnace oil use by 35%. Other key efforts include a rooftop solar program for households, a subsidized “Toonie Transit” system, a rebate program for traditional and electric bikes, and a bike refurbishment partnership with the Reach Foundation.

Hon. Steven Myers, PEI’s Minister of Environment, Energy, and Climate Action, has committed the Province to the most aggressive climate goals in North America, putting PEI on the path to reach net-zero 10 years ahead of the national target, without negatively impacting Islanders. His initiatives, including electrifying the school bus fleet and launching the CleanTech Innovation Strategy, have advanced PEI’s climate agenda and garnered international acclaim. For Steven, building community is everything, driving all that he does for his province.
