Project Objectives
The Project will support capacity building activities for a renewable energy project that offsets propane usage for the community’s Kisiko Awasis School at the Mountain Cree Camp in Alberta. The Project will focus on improving homes through community engagement sessions on energy education and energy efficiency, the creation of a community energy plan to identify potential renewable energy options for the school and required feasibility studies. Project activities will include energy efficiency workshops for residents and energy education workshops for students.
Expected Results
This project’s expected results include increased energy education, a community energy plan informed by community opinions, improved energy efficiency for existing homes, and renewable energy training and long-term employment for community members that will create financial security.
