Booshoo! Wachiya!Tansi! Greetings to all! This is to provide you with an update of the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Measures (EEMAC) program for the First Nation communities in Ontario.
1. Energy Conference was held in May 2007
2. Education Component – Energy Efficiency curriculum to be developed that will be delivered to our First Nation schools
3. Energy Retrofit Pilot Project – Five communities, from throughout Ontario were selected as a pilot for energy audits and extended measures to all the homes in the First Nation.
4. Energy Conservation Kits – 25,000 homes in our First Nations across Ontario have received an Energy Conservation Kit

Our Energy Conservation Kits have been distributed to all First Nation homes in Ontario. We would like for you to complete a quick survey to let us know if you have utilized the contents of the Energy Conservation Kit and have installed the products contained.

If you have any products that you might have trouble installing, please check out our website, www.conservethelight.ca and under the Energy Conservation Kits tab, you will find a video that was created by two of our summer students, Dylan Hardy from Biinjitawabik Saugeen Anishinabek and Aaron Gray from Lac Seul First Nation. We would like to acknowledge and thank our youth for their participation and production of this video. This video is separated in segments by product. This will assist you to simply click on the product to learn how to install it and how it will help you conserve energy in your home.

Any questions with any aspect of the EEMAC program can be directed to Charles Fox or Meladina Hardy who can be reached at 807-622-8008. On behalf of Ontario Power Authority (OPA) and CFCI Chi-Miigwech! Thank you for your continued support for this unique program and to revitalize our conservation culture to do our part in conserving energy!
