Indigenous-owned electric company prioritizes giving back to communities – Northern Ontario Business
Five Nations Energy is donating $1.7 million to First Nations communities, health centres
Over the past two years, Five Nations Energy Inc. (FNEI) has given almost $1.7 million worth of donations to five First Nation communities and organizations in the Timmins area.
The non-profit company, located off Highway 655, is the only Indigenous-owned electricity transmission company in Ontario and Canada. It owns and operates a 270-kilometre electrical transmission line from Moosonee to Attawapiskat.
Last week, the corporation donated $150,000 to Sagashtawao Healing Lodge in Moosonee, which provides treatment programs to First Nation people with drug or alcohol addiction issues.
