Climate Change Action Plan: Indigenous Partnerships And Clean Energy

Background

On June 8, 2016, Ontario released its Climate Change Action Plan ("CCAP"). The five year plan outlines the province's strategy and commitments to address climate change. For more information about other CCAP initiatives, click here. Consistent with this government's objectives, the CAPP provides for collaboration with First Nation and Métis communities to reduce emissions and transition to a low-carbon economy.

By way of example, shortly after releasing the CCAP, Ontario announced Wataynikaneyap Power has been selected to connect sixteen remote First Nation communities to the electricity grid.
