lpoutine, Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "Nootka Island" in forum "Urban Issues". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- $2.4M energy, culture and tourism boost slated for Nootka Island: Mowachaht/Muchalaht First Nation A $2.4M renewable microgrid energy project led by the Mowachaht/Muchalaht First Nation (MMFN) is coming to Nootka Island to establish a reliable clean energy grid that supports year-round tourism, cultural gatherings and long-term economic growth. The nation is building a renewable-diesel hybrid microgrid at Yuquot (Friendly Cove), on the southwestern tip of Nootka Island. ___________________________ Yuquot is the ancestral home of the Mowachaht (https://www.pc.gc.ca/apps/dfhd/page_nhs_eng.aspx?id=54)and the centre of their social, political and economic world. For over 4,300 years, the village was the capital for the 17 tribes of the Nootka Sound region, according to Parks Canada (https://www.pc.gc.ca/apps/dfhd/page_nhs_eng.aspx?id=54). In 1923, it was named the Yuquot National Historic Site of Canada. Once complete, the project will provide a powerhouse, distribution system, and diesel/fuel infrastructure for a centralized renewable-diesel hybrid microgrid, says Island Economic Trust, which contributed $200,000 through the Capital and Innovation program. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The topic can be found here: https://vibrantvictoria.ca/forum/index.php?/topic/7994-nootka-island/?view=getnewpost You can unsubscribe at any time here: https://vibrantvictoria.ca/forum/index.php?/unsubscribe/Zm9ydW1zO2ZvcnVtczsyMzszNjI5OzM2Mjk7bGF1cmVuY2UucG91dGluZS52dnZ2QGJsb2dnZXIuY29t/ If you are not following any forums and wish to stop receiving notifications, uncheck the setting "Send me news and information" found in 'My Settings' under 'Notification Options'.
