Workers with solar panelsOn October 17th and 18th at the Jonas Roberts Memorial Community in La Ronge, Saskatchewan, Iron & Earth and the Lac La Ronge Indian Band will be presenting a Condensed Community Solar Skills Training Program.


Iron & Earth has been presenting our community-based rapid upskilling program since 2020 and are pleased to have the opportunity to work with the community in La Ronge on this latest project. It is part of the Lac La Ronge Indian Band's Community Energy Planning Project. Through this project, the Lac La Ronge Indian Band aims to create one Community Energy Plan for each of the 6 communities of the Lac La Ronge Indian Band to address the communities’ current and future energy needs.

We are currently accepting applications from community members based in the six communities of the Lac La Ronge Indian Band (Grandmother’s Bay, Hall Lake, La Ronge, Little Red River, Stanley Mission and Sucker River), community members in the surrounding areas, and from fossil fuel industry and Indigenous workers with an interest in learning the skills needed to participate in solar energy project design, installation, and maintenance.
Thanks to the generous contributions of several funders, this two day Condensed Community Solar Skills program is available at no cost to participants.

The knowledge and experience provided by the Condensed Community Solar Skills Program will empower program participants to find and pursue meaningful work along related career pathways.

Please read the full course description and complete the Intake Form when you are ready to apply.

Iron & Earth was founded within Treaty 6 Territory and within the Métis homelands and Métis Nation of Alberta Region 4. We acknowledge this land as the traditional territories of many First Nations, including the Nehiyaw (Cree), Denesuliné (Dene), Nakota Sioux (Stoney), Anishinaabe (Saulteaux), and Niitsitapi (Blackfoot).

Iron & Earth acknowledges that our work takes place on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of Indigenous Peoples across Canada. We recognize the ongoing impacts of colonialism and the deep connection that Indigenous communities have with the land, water, and environment. Our commitment to a Just Transition is informed by Indigenous land stewardship principles. We are dedicated to fostering partnerships with Indigenous communities, respecting their sovereignty, and learning from their knowledge and traditions. We strive to ensure that our initiatives are inclusive and support community-driven climate solutions, contributing to a sustainable and equitable future for all. We honor the diverse histories, languages, and cultures of Indigenous Peoples and commit to continuing our journey of learning and reconciliation as we work together toward a thriving green economy.
