GARDEN RIVER FIRST NATION – Evan Belleau is thrilled that his First Nation is set to become a major player in a significant project.
Belleau is the supervisor of capacity development for Garden River First Nation, located adjacent to Sault Ste. Marie, in Northern Ontario.
It was announced in mid-April that Garden River First Nation, in partnership with Neoen, a world leader in renewable energy, would have a 50 per cent equity partnership in what will be the province’s largest solar energy project.
The provincial Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) awarded the partnership a 20-year contract to construct a 200-megawatt solar facility.
