Mactaquac Dam upgrade gets environmental go-ahead
New Brunswick's largest hydroelectric dam is one step closer to a multibillion-dollar refurbishment to extend its lifespan. The province has given N.B. Power the green light to proceed with a major fix of the Mactaquac Dam following a two-year environmental impact assessment. But there's still no definitive decision to go ahead, as policymakers grapple with the enormous financial impact of the project on ratepayers. The latest estimate of the cost is $7.5 billion to $9 billion. Mactaquac went online in 1968 and was supposed to operate for 100 years. It now generates about one-fifth of all the province's electricity, with no greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to a warming climate. But a chemical reaction in the concrete aggregate has caused it to expand. "This reaction has resulted in substantial cracking, leading to accelerated concrete deterioration and seepage of headpond waters through the structures," N.B. Power wrote in its EIA submission in 2023. The reaction "affects the performance of the powerhouse, water retaining structures, gates, and generating units." That means a major overhaul is needed soon. Mactaquac Dam overhaul wins environmental approval 1 hour ago Duration 1:23 The utility pointed to the growing demand for non-emitting electricity to justify the project. The province says N.B. Power can proceed as long as it meets certain conditions, including implementing temporary fish passageways and a plan for wells and wastewater. The utility must also consult First Nations communities and must agree to stop work and consult the province "if it is suspected that remains of archaeological significance are discovered" during the project. And it must comply with federal fisheries legislation and needs to apply for provincial permits for any work that would affect a watercourse or wetland. Neither the province nor N.B. Power had an immediate comment on the EIA decision, but Energy Minister Rene Legacy said in April that the Energy and Utilities Board would review the cost of the project to allow the government to make "an informed decision." N.B. Power is already carrying a debt of more than $5 billion, most of which has been attributed by an auditor-general's report to the Point Lepreau and Belledune power plant projects and the more recent Point Lepreau refurbishment.

Toronto breaks ground on 1 of its first net-zero community centres in North York
Toronto has broken ground on what it says is one of its first net-zero emissions community centres in North York, an aquatic and child-care space set to open in 2028. The Western North York Community Centre is expected to span 80,000 square feet, the city said in a news release Friday. Located at 60 Starview Lane, the community centre is set to be an 100 per cent electric building not powered by fossil fuels, but on-site solar panels on the roof and over the parking lot, according to the city. The centre will be built with low carbon concrete, with a system that draws water from underground to heat and cool the building, an advanced stormwater management system, according to the city. "Having a net-zero energy facility is something all residents can be proud of," Mayor Olivia Chow said in the release. The city says the centre will include amenities such as pools, science labs, art and dance studios and a gym, as well as a child-care centre designed to accommodate up to 62 children. "Following three years of community consultation, I'm excited to see us break ground on an enhanced recreation and child care centre to better connect our diverse and growing communities. From children to seniors, this centre can be a recreational hub for everyone," said local Coun. Anthony Perruzza in the news release. The centre will replace the existing Carmine Stefano Community Centre, which will remain open until the new centre is operational, the city release says. Speaking at the groundbreaking event, the mayor said she's committed to building strong and caring communities.

Fast-fashion retailer Shein's transport emissions jump in 2024
A page from the Shein website is shown in this photo, in New York on June 23, 2023. (AP Photo/Richard Drew, File) LONDON — Shein's carbon emissions from transporting products climbed 13.7 per cent in 2024, the online fast-fashion retailer's sustainability report showed on Friday, and its 2023 transport emissions were 18 per cent higher than previously reported after a recalculation. Shein uses mainly air freight to send cheap clothes directly from suppliers in China to shoppers in 150 markets worldwide, a more carbon-intensive supply chain model compared with traditional apparel retailers that ship more of their products on container vessels. Shein said it planned to produce, package, and ship closer to its customers as a way to lower emissions and cut delivery times and shipping costs. It increased its use of sea freight and trucking in 2024, according to the report. 'We do have localized places like Brazil, like Turkey ... so all these things are in the works. Are we fast enough? Are we perfect? Of course not. There are a lot of things that we have to do,' Shein executive chairman Donald Tang said, speaking at the Viva Technology conference in Paris on Friday after the report was published. France's Senate on Tuesday approved a revised version of a fast fashion law that, if implemented, would ban advertising by Shein and its rival Temu, with French lawmakers criticizing Shein's environmental footprint. Shein argues its business model allows it to produce according to demand and leaves it with less unsold inventory than traditional clothing retailers, minimizing waste. Founded in China and headquartered in Singapore, Shein sources most of its products from 7,000 suppliers in China, but also has a growing network of factories in Brazil and Turkey. Emission targets Emissions from transporting products to and between Shein facilities, and to customers, including returns, were 8.52 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent in 2024, up from 7.49 million metric tons of CO2e in 2023, according to the report. Shein's transport emissions for 2024 are more than three times those of Zara owner Inditex, which reported 2.61 million tons of CO2e for its 2024 financial year, a 10 per cent increase on 2023 as the Spanish firm also used more air freight. Shein said its 2023 emissions were recalculated after an update to its methodology. Last year it reported a 2023 figure of 6.35 million metric tons. Steep tariffs imposed by the United States on Chinese goods have made it more urgent for Shein to diversify its supplier base, as the U.S. is its biggest market. The company aims to go public and has shifted its focus to a Hong Kong initial public offering after failing to win Chinese securities' regulatory approval to proceed with a planned London listing. Shein's emissions reduction targets, approved last month by the Science-Based Targets Initiative, are for a 25 per cent reduction in Scope 3 (indirect) emissions by 2030, compared with 2023. In the sustainability report Shein, which has also faced criticism over working conditions in its supply chain, said it ended 12 supplier relationships in 2024 due to violations of its policies, up from five in 2023. Shein conducted 4,288 on-site audits on its suppliers and subcontractors in China over the year, up from 3,990 in 2023. --- Reporting by Helen Reid; Editing by Louise Heavens and Alison Williams
