TORONTO – Small but mighty.
That’s how Jennifer Ashawasegai-Pereira thinks of her home community, Henvey Inlet First Nation, located within the Parry Sound District.
Ashawasegai-Pereira, who worked as a communications consultant for her First Nation, attended a Toronto event dubbed the Indigenous Led Projects Forum to discuss one of Henvey Inlet’s most noteworthy initiatives.
She was a panellist at the forum for a session titled The Renewable Energy Journey. The two-day forum, which concluded Apr. 3, was staged at the Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel.
Ashawasegai-Pereira spoke about Henvey Inlet Wind, which is the largest First Nation wind energy partnership in Canada.
