From reclaiming lands impacted by fossil fuel extraction to spearheading renewable energy projects, Indigenous-led efforts are shaping a sustainable future for Canada

Anthony Huete-Jacobs holds a certificate at the cohort one Generation Power graduation ceremony in Saskatchewan, on Sept. 11, 2022, at Wanuskwin.Nestled amidst the pristine wilderness of British Columbia’s Northern Rockies lies Fort Nelson, a community that was forever changed by the gas industry. Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, for shale gas extraction transformed this remote corner of Canada into a battleground of environmental concerns and economic aspirations.

The downturn in the gas sector, beginning in 2008, resulted in numerous job losses, business shutdowns and a decrease in real estate values, not to mention deserted gas wells, wastewater pits, aging compressor stations and abandoned pipelines snaking through the territory. She says that Generation Power provided her with knowledge and training in clean energy transition to support the Tu Deh-Kah geothermal project.James Jenkins, ICE’s executive director, says programs like Generation Power are designed to help youth pursue careers in the clean energy sector.

In 2022, Generation Power alum Anthony Huete-Jacobs was matched with Natural Resources Canada for a six-month internship and secured a full-time job at the end., an initiative run jointly between the Government of Canada and an Indigenous council that funds clean energy projects in Indigenous, rural and remote communities.Huete-Jacobs is Anishinaabe from the Aamjiwnaang First Nation.
