If you missed the ICE Networks latest ICE CoLab: Electric Vehicle Opportunities for Indigenous Communities, hosted by ICE's Shelby Heaney, head over to the ICE ...Network to listen! We discussed why EV technology is important, EV impacts and considerations for microgrids and heard from the winning team of the ICE E-Gathering's Hack-a-Thon competition as they presented their winning case. icenet.work #cleanenergy #indigenouscleanenergy #climatechange #renewableenergy #solarpower #solarenergy #sustainability #energyefficiengy #renewableresources #icenetwork #2020catalysts #catalysts #icecolabs #sustainabledevelopment #electricvehicle

The development of our clean energy plan is being led by the Haízaqv Climate Action Team with full support of Haízaqv Tribal Council. The team will create cl...imate solutions for and by Haízaqv people for the sustainability of future generations. Our aim is to eliminate our dependence on diesel, to assess our supply and demand within the Haízaqv community around energy and create clean energy projects that are focused on the needs and vision of the Haizaqv Nation. - Energy Champion Leona Humchitt and Team Member 'Qátuwas Brown The Haízaqv Climate Action Team is engaging residents to create a community energy plan grounded in Haízaqv community needs. The plan aims to reduce dependency on fossil fuels, bring the community back in-line with Haizaqv Gvi’ilas, improve health and safety and build a green economy.

Our aim is to have 129 heat pumps installed by the end of March, making up nearly a third of homes in our community! As a team we are proud to share this information :) 'Qátuwas Brown, community engagement coordinator for the Haízaqv (Heiltsuk) Climate Action Team, says moving away from relying on diesel fuel, in particular, reduced their greenhouse gas emissions by five tonnes per household per year. It's also better aligned with her community's values and collective phil...osophy. "It's about connecting back to our ancestral ways, our original ways of being in relationship with Earth and with one another. And using renewable energy is actually a way to honour that relationship," she said. "We want to give back to our place as much as we take from it."

Join the Haízaqv Clean Energy Team Saturday January 30th 1:00 pm for a Facebook Live event! From November 16 to January 13, 2021 2020, the Haízaqv Clean Energy Team used a carbon emission simulation exercise powered by Ethelo to gather community feedback in order to help evaluate which climate solutions should be implemented to transition the Haízaqv Nation off of diesel fuel. The purpose of this program was to give community members a say in ensuring the solutions to be ...implemented are chosen in a fair, effective way, with proven community buy-in. The results are fantastic! We are so grateful to the 302 community members who participated in the survey! The following prizes will be drawn live: 1st Prize - New energy star rated refrigerator 2nd Prize - New energy star rated chest freezer 3rd Prize - $500 cash 4th Prize - $500 cash And remember: Grand-prize 50 Hp electric boat motor valued at $9,000 plus $1,000 cash for every engagement you complete you are entered to win the grand-prize draw.
