Recently, The City was awarded the first-ever Resilience and Recovery Award from The Institute for Catastrophic Loss Reduction, Canada’s leading disaster research institute, for rolling out the rebate program specifically creating awareness, incentives, and regulation. 

By program end, the Resilient Roofing Rebate has supported approximately 1,600 Calgarians who replaced their roof using impact-resistant materials to protect their home from severe weather damage. Learn more about the program and hear from two of our rebate recipients below.

The rebate program offered $3,000 to homeowners who replaced their roof with an impact-resistant product to protect their homes from severe weather damage.

Due to popular demand, we are no longer accepting applications to the Resilient Roofing Rebate Program.

Acceptable roofing materials include, but are not limited to:

• Asphalt shingle
• Clay tile
• Concrete tile
• Metal
• Plastic/polymer/composite products
• Recycled rubber

The impact resistant roof covering must be installed over the entire roofing surface, including the hips and ridges.

Roofing materials must comply with either:

• Underwriters’ Laboratory Standard 2218 (UL2218), Impact Standard for Impact Resistance of Prepared Roof Covering Materials, or
• Factor Mutual Standard 4473 (FM4473), Specification Test Standards for Impact Resistant Testing of Rigid Roofing Materials by Impacting with Freezer Ice Balls

• Resilient Roofing Installation Checklist
• Find an approved roof inspector: 
  • ARCA  inspectors
  • AARA inspectors

Roofs installed by a non-member at the time of installation must be inspected by an AARA or ARCA roof inspector to ensure compliance with the Resilient Roofing Installation Checklist.
