NFI’s common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbol NFI and its convertible unsecured debentures trade on the TSX under the symbol NFI.DB. News and information is available at www.nfigroup.com, www.newflyer.com, www.mcicoach.com, www.nfi.parts, www.alexander-dennis.com, www.arbocsv.com, and www.carfaircomposites.com. The theme of Earth Day 2022 is “Invest in Our Planet,” something that NFI has been doing for over 50 years. We weave environmental, social, and governance, or ESG, into the fabric of our business, and our Sustainability Pledge—to create a Better Product, Better Workplace and Better World—continues to guide our day-to-day operations and our long-term planning,” said Paul Soubry, President and Chief Executive Officer, NFI. “Today, NFI is leading the electrification of transit operations in multiple markets, including Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand. Our electric vehicles have collectively travelled over 65 million electric service miles, which equates to the prevention of 182,000 imperial tons of greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions from entering the environment.” Since opening late 2017, the VIC has hosted over 300 interactive events, welcoming 5,000 industry professionals for electric vehicle (“EV”) and infrastructure training. With zero-emission buses and coaches, infrastructure, and technology, NFI meets today’s urban demands for scalable smart mobility solutions. Since 2015, NFI has delivered 2,032 EUs of ZEBs to its customers around the globe. NFI is committed to employees, customers and shareholders, while also being responsible to the environment and the communities in which we live and work. “NFI exists to move people. In total, NFI supports its installed base of over 105,000 buses and coaches around the world. Leveraging 450 years of combined experience, NFI is leading the electrification of mass mobility around the world. In 2021, NFI delivered 661 equivalent units (“EUs”) of ZEBs; in 2022, it is expected that 20 to 25 percent of the Company’s annual production will be ZEBs, growing to approximately 40 percent by 2025. For decades, NFI has been leading the evolution to zero-emission transportation, the ZEvolution. In 2021, NFI introduced six new zero-emission buses and coach (“ZEB”) models to its electric vehicle (“EV”) lineup, and the Company has ZEBs operating (or on order) in more than 80 cities in five countries.

Bird Canada Celebrates Earth Day with New e-Scooters and e ... (Business Wire)

Bird Canada Celebrates Earth Day with New e-Scooters and e-Bikes Taking Flight Across Canada for the 2022 Season.

Partnerships are enabled through the Bird app, where riders can view a range of services and options available to them. “We’re thrilled to be bringing two new Bird electric vehicles to the Canadian market. The cost to ride Bird Bikes and Bird e-scooters is the same in each city. In Windsor for example, the cost to ride either vehicle is $1.15 to unlock and $0.42 per minute. Local charging stations within INDIGO parking facilities are also used by Bird Canada’s local teams to charge Bird vehicles, which reduces reliance on gas-powered vehicles for logistics. Built for the rigors of shared use, the Bird Three features an industry-leading footboard design, offers increased stability, and also ensures a comfortable ride across all surfaces. This includes the all new Bird Three e-scooter, which is being deployed for the first time in Canada. The Bird Three is the safest, most advanced, and most eco-friendly shared scooter on the market today. Each Bird Bike is equipped with a high-powered electric motor capable of powering riders up hills with as much as a 20% grade. “We’re thrilled to be bringing two new Bird electric vehicles to the Canadian market. The promotion, which can be used any time on April 22nd, will give new riders the opportunity to experience the benefits of moving around their city in a more sustainable way while reducing carbon emissions. The Bird Bike provides another safe, accessible, and sustainable mobility option for those who want to travel longer distances. Last year, more than 200,000 unique riders took over 1.3 million trips on Bird e-scooters Canada. They travelled a combined distance of more than 2.9 million kilometres, saving roughly 147,000 litres of gas and preventing an estimated 800 metric tons of CO2 emissions.

Statement by Minister Guilbeault on Earth Day 2022 (Canada NewsWire)

CNW Telbec/ - The Honourable Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Environment and Climate Change and Minister responsible for Parks Canada, issued the following.

"Investing in the planet is about helping to create a cleaner, healthier, more resilient and sustainable environment. The plan includes substantial new investments in nature conservation that will enhance the potential of the natural environment, such as wetlands, peatlands and grasslands, to capture and store carbon. There is no planet B; we must conserve and protect what we have.
