DCN-JOC News ServicesVICTORIA – The Province of British Columbia is funding clean-energy projects in four First Nations communities through the First Nations Clean Energy Business Fund .
“Congratulations to these four First Nations communities on being at the forefront of shifting to clean-energy sources. The ravages of climate change are a real threat to many communities. Clean energy offers a path to a healthier, more resilient future for us all,” B.C. Premier John Horgan said in a press release.
“Our members say it is important for their home energy to come from clean, renewable sources. It is critically important to ensure our members are healthy, safe and comfortable in their homes. Installing heat pumps with high-efficiency cooling and dehumidifying capabilities help prepare our members homes for dangerous heat waves and summer conditions that are inevitable and increasingly more severe in the Alberni Valley,” stated Hupačasath First Nation chief councilor Brandy Lauder.
T’Sou-ke First Nation has received $16,250 in capacity funding for Phase 1 design of a solar roof on the community complex and health centre meeting at least 25 per cent of the facility’s total energy demand using clean-energy sources.
