Meadow Lake and PBCN tribal councils get funding for green projects
Building capacity for a regional focus on renewable energy and an 816 kW solar farm is part of a $6 million announcement for the Meadow Lake Tribal Council.
MLTC and Mee-Toos Forest Products (owned by Peter Ballantyne group of companies) received federal dollars for a new green initiative, announced in Regina several days ago.
“Our partners on these projects are focused on deploying renewable energy, displacing coal-based electricity, and training the next generation of Indigenous clean energy leaders,” said Hon. Jonathan Wilkinson, Minister of Natural Resources.
“Both western science and traditional ecological knowledge are clear: climate change represents the greatest challenge to our generation and to those generations that are coming.”
