正文(英文) | News release![]() June 29, 2021 – Winnipeg, Manitoba Communities across the country want clean air and clean water for their children and grandchildren. Metis communities are on the front lines of climate change, already experiencing its impacts and also leading meaningful initiatives to fight it. Today, Terry Duguid, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Environment and Climate Change and Member of Parliament for Winnipeg South, announced that the Manitoba Metis Federation is receiving approximately $5 million for two climate action initiatives. One project will upgrade the Federation’s office building to increase energy efficiency while the other will bring Métis youth together with Elders and Traditional Knowledge Holders to learn about cultural environmental traditions that have protected their lands for centuries. The Manitoba Metis Federation will receive approximately $3.5 million from the Low Carbon Economy Fund to upgrade its office building in Winnipeg to be more energy efficient. The renovations include installing solar panels, replacing windows, and upgrading the building envelope as well as its heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. Over the lifetime of this project, the Federation will see a cumulative reduction of about 7,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions — equivalent to removing approximately 2,100 cars from the road for one year. The Métis Environmental Leaders of Tomorrow project will receive approximately $1.5 million from the Climate Action and Awareness Fund. The project will help youth gain knowledge of Métis culture and traditions in partnership with Elders and Traditional Knowledge Holders in their region. Through workshops and an annual symposium, Métis youth will gain a stronger sense of community and culture and learn about climate change and environmental stewardship. These activities will help empower Métis youth to be community leaders in climate action. Investments in climate action initiatives, such as the ones announced today, reaffirm the Government of Canada’s commitment to fight climate change, create good jobs, and grow a clean economy. Quotes
