We use business as a catalyst or tool, and depend on the support of our customers to make change happen.

Recent Project: Broadway Theatre Solar Project

Even though Saskatchewan is Canada’s sunniest province—it has very few solar projects. A local Saskatoon theatre, its solar project and local community leader, Kirby Wirchenko are poised to change this. Wirchenko, the Executive Director of the Broadway Theatre, championed the idea to install an 88-panel solar array on the Theatre—an historic building originally built in World War II for veterans. At one point, the building was an “adult” movie theatre! Today, more than 50% of the building is now powered by renewables, demonstrating that solar is powerful, plentiful and within reach in Saskatchewan. Bullfrog provided financing for the project.

Recent Project: Oilfields Regional Arena Solar Project

The Town of Black Diamond, named for the coal mine that started it, is leaving behind its fossil fuel legacy with the creation of renewable energy projects such as a solar installation on the town’s hockey rink. The project was championed by Les Quinton, Parks and Rec Manager of Black Diamond (also known as the man with the mustache!). For Les, Black Diamond’s future is to become a leader in sustainability—with a plan to do so by 2035. In addition to working with Bullfrog to install the 10 kW solar installation on the local hockey arena, he’s putting up solar and wind projects throughout the community. These days, the arena has months when it’s 100% powered by solar energy!
