Summary
The federal government has announced over $15 million in funding for clean-energy projects, with most of the money going to the remote B.C. island of Haida Gwaii.
Natural Resources Minister Amarjeet Sohi told a news conference in Vancouver that an investment of $10.4 million will allow the Skidegate Band Council and the Old Massett Village Council to transition Haida Gwaii to 100-per-cent renewable energy.
