Solar Canada and Taber Shop Talk!
Solar Canada and Taber Shop Talk!
We just wrapped up an exciting week in Taber, Alberta! If you haven’t heard, we are exploring the potential to use inactive oil and gas infrastructure as a foundation for renewable energy development. If development goes well this year, we hope to break ground on a pilot project in Taber next year.
On Monday, we hosted a Shop Talk Night at the Oilmen’s Club to engage with oil and gas workers, landowners, and industry to discuss the concept. The panel included our core project team who you can read about at our new RenuWell website. We will keep you up to date as this concept unfolds.
Next week we are heading to Calgary to do some major networking at Solar Canada.This is the first year we have been able to attend and are really excited to meet a bunch of new people and potential partners. If you are there, please drop by and visit us at our booth!
Hope to see you soon,
Lliam Hildebrand - Executive Director
Iron & Earth
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.
