正文(英文) | October 18, 2018 - Terrace, British Columbia - Natural Resources Canada Canada's forest sector continues to play a key role in our economy and our efforts to address climate change. The Honourable Amarjeet Sohi, Canada’s Minister of Natural Resources (NRCan), today announced over $669,000 in funding for two forestry projects for Kitselas First Nation to position the community to pursue new business opportunities, provide training to workers and lay the foundation for future economic development. The first investment of $600,000 enables Kitselas First Nation to pursue business development activities related to land reclamation and other restoration opportunities, including environmental monitoring services that could manage the impact of development activities on the land by reducing the carbon footprint and returning the landscape to a healthy ecosystem. The second investment of $69,443 is for launching a feasibility study on biomass combined heat and power energy systems using local wood residues to reduce the community’s reliance on diesel and help it transition to a low-carbon economy. Both projects are co-funded by NRCan’s Indigenous Forestry Initiative (IFI) and Indigenous Services Strategic Partnerships Initiative, which offer opportunities to Indigenous communities that rely on forest sustainability. The IFI funding aims to increase Indigenous participation in forestry-related opportunities, businesses, careers and governance.
