Wah-ila-toos’ mission is to provide funding for renewable energy and capacity-building projects and related energy efficiency measures in Indigenous, rural and remote communities across Canada.
Diesel is a well-known and reliable energy source in Indigenous, rural and remote communities. However, it can also have negative impacts on communities and the environment. The transition to clean energy continues to be important to many Indigenous communities and the Government of Canada as we work together towards reconciliation.
Wah-ila-toos is still accepting applications under:
- Clean Energy for Rural and Remote Communities – Biomass heating, district heating, and combined heat and power systems
- Clean Energy for Rural and Remote Communities – Research, Development, and Demonstration projects
- Northern Responsible Energy Approach for Community Heat and Energy program (Northern REACHE).
