The world of work is changing fast – are Canadian workers ready?

Bringing renewables to a remote community involves a key decision: project size. The bigger the project, the more potential for diesel reduction – but it also means higher cost and complexity. Our latest guide walks you through the essentials. ⬇️

Remote communities are taking big steps toward #CleanEnergy – but continued progress depends on stable federal support. With programs fully subscribed, the future is uncertain. Here's why long-term funding matters 👇

Canada can build big without creating emissions. Discover how lower-carbon concrete can deliver climate goals + economic growth. 📖 Your weekend read ⬇️

The Alberta‑Ottawa MOU is supposed to set the stage for strong industrial carbon pricing. Instead, Alberta’s recent regulatory changes risk flooding the credit market + undermining low-carbon investment. Ottawa should take note of this bad‑faith move as climate talks begin 👇

Skills and workforce readiness are essential to accelerate lower-carbon concrete adoption across Canada. Training and practical toolkits will help designers, engineers, and municipal decision-makers lead the way. Explore the report👇
