Organized by: The Centre for Indigenous Environmental Resources — https://www.eventbrite.com/o/111261902381Join CIER and The LEAP Group for two days of knowledge-sharing, relationship-building, and Indigenous-led energy solutions.
About
This November, CIER and The LEAP Group are bringing the Energy InSites community together for two days of learning, relationship-building and collaboration. The symposium will bring together approximately 200 participants working to advance Indigenous-led energy solutions and community energy priorities.
Energy InSites supports First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities
across the Prairies, Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut as they work
to understand their energy use, modernize community buildings, identify
retrofit opportunities and find and secure funding. The symposium builds on
this work by creating space for communities, Energy Champions, youth, technical
experts, funders, service providers and sector partners to share experience and
build relationships that can continue beyond the event.
Trade Show
The symposium will include an interactive trade show designed to connect organizations with communities and Energy Champions. The focus is on listening, learning and building meaningful, long-term relationships; not simply transactional sales. Indigenous-owned businesses and eligible community enterprises are encouraged to participate and will have access to discounted exhibitor pricing and priority placement in the Indigenous Business Showcase.
