The Beginnings of a Great Project - MARCH 29, 2007

Dear Tribal Chairs and Executive Directors:

Charles Fox Consulting Inc. has been retained by the Ontario Power Authority’s Conservation Bureau to plan and develop a program on energy efficiency and conservation measures for the Aboriginal community in Ontario.

The program has four elements comprised of;

(1) To create awareness on energy efficiency and conservation measures through an educational process for all our communities,
(2) The development of low cost energy efficient items and distribution of packages of materials on energy efficient measures to all First Nation households in Ontario,
(3) The development of extended measures through energy audits and retrofits for six pilot projects in six communities throughout Ontario,
(4) To host a conference on Energy Efficiency and Conservation Measures for the Aboriginal community of Ontario that will take place in Thunder Bay on May 8-9, 2007at the Prince Arthur.

An Elders Council and a Network of Champions have been created to assist with the planning, development and implementation of this undertaking. These two bodies represent a cross-section of respected individuals from across the spectrum of the Aboriginal community in Ontario.

We look forward not only with excitement but with positive expectations to the development and implementation of this program in our communities. Personally I look forward to working with our people and our communities on what I believe will be a rewarding and worthwhile project.

Please WATCH for the Registration Package and information on the Energy Conference to be held in Thunder Bay at the Prince Arthur on May 8 & 9, 2007.

Kitchi -Miigwech! Charles Fox
