Solar power is here to stay! The Solar Panel will share community stories describing the benefits of renewable energy. There have been many successful solar projects in First Nation communities. This positive trend is making a difference to reduce diesel dependency, provide economic returns, and build community capacity. The panel will present basic facts about solar energy, showcase community stories and share experiences from the Keewaytinook Okimakanak (KO) communities.
