Welcome to this week’s edition of articles. The journey toward reconciliation is ongoing and hindered by the simple requirement for consultation in some cases, The opportunity is great for First Nation, Inuit and Metis participation in projects as evidenced by the various financing options available through Govt support. The growth in solar to provide energy globally is a fact and we are seeing this happen here in Canada as well. Saskatchewan has a couple of projects. Also, PM Carney recently announced a collaboration with German Chancellor Mertz for a solar manufacturing hub in Manitoba. There is an interesting article from RBC on electricity and highlighting that “Indigenous partnerships are reshaping Canada’s clean energy landscape and adding a new dimension to economic growth”.
