Quick Updates: Call for Nominations: Indigenous Cleaner Energy Awards
The 7th Annual FNPA Indigenous Cleaner Energy Forum, June 26th and 27th in Saskatoon – Treaty 6 Territory, marks FNPA’s inaugural Indigenous Cleaner Energy Awards!
FNPA is calling for nominations to recognize Indigenous leadership and allyship as we advance the cleaner energy economy together.
- Who: These individuals may be your colleagues, friends, an industry ally (individual or organization), or yourself. We see that not everyone starts from the same place and the selection process considers individuals who have made changes in their life trajectory while advancing a cleaner energy sector.
- How: Nomination takes 2-5 minutes through our online form with all pertinent details on the FNPA website, https://fnpa.ca/awardguidelines/.
- Deadline: June 15th – please reach out to mritchotte@fnpa.ca and ashrake@fnpa.ca for late submissions.
