Providing education and access to services for remote communities is a daunting task. Not all communities have the same opportunities, but the University of Saskatchewan has faculty and alumni who work on a daily basis to reduce the inequity between the north and the south.
Together with SaskPolytech, we are bringing together international experts, government, industry, Indigenous and community members to share best practices and challenges for implementing renewable energy in remote, rural, Indigenous and northern communities.
On June 20, SENS is hosting a discussion about renewable energy and northern communities.
In celebration of its 10th anniversary, SENS is expanding in two areas – aquatic toxicology and renewable energy for remote and Indigenous communities.
While the debate continues over the potential merits and pitfalls of federal carbon pricing, one SENS professor sees a growth opportunity for a group of Canadians who are often sidelined in discussions about energy and economy.
