The Canadian Parking Association is pleased to announce it has been awarded funding from Natural Resources Canada’s Zero Emission Vehicle Awareness Initiative to deliver the project: National EV Charging Education for Parking and Mobility Enablers.

This funded initiative will develop and deliver national education and resources to parking and mobility professionals to accelerate safe, effective deployment of EV charging infrastructure. Through targeted training, best-practice guidance, and stakeholder engagement, the project will help parking operators, property owners, municipalities, and mobility providers plan, install and operate EV charging solutions that support Canada’s transition to zero-emission transportation.

Members will be engaged through regional educational events and at the 2026 Annual Conference & Trade Show in Montreal, where project resources, training opportunities, and participation pathways will be shared. We look forward to sharing project milestones and opportunities for involvement with members in the coming months.

Through the generous support of National Resources Canada (NRCan) and industry contributors, the Canadian Parking Association will enable its members to develop and expand the EV charging network across Canada, linking EV drivers to EV charging facilities in your parking facilities.

Please take a few minutes to complete our baseline survey. Your responses will help us understand the current level of EV involvement across the industry, establish a benchmark for measuring the Canadian parking industry’s impact on EV adoption, and develop timely, relevant program content. Your input will also help guide program development and support the industry’s leadership in EV deployment. After the program concludes, we will follow up to measure its impact.
