Indigenous energy company gives $1.7M to the north – CTV News
TIMMINS — Five Nations Energy, Canada’s only Indigenous-owned long-distance energy company, recently wrapped up a two-year campaign to donate around $1.7 million to First Nations communities and health providers in northern Ontario.
The donation spree wrapped up Thursday with a $150,000 donation to Sagashtawao Healing Lodge, an addictions centre in Moosonee.
“What we wanted to do is live up to our social objectives, as a not-for-profit, and put some money back into the communities,” said Pat Chilton, CEO of Five Nations Energy.
The campaign started in 2018, after the company had a surplus in revenue from the Ontario Energy Board and the Independent Electric System Operator.
