Concordia’s Office of Community Engagement has created a guide for researchers, academics, and students who want to learn how to collaborate effectively with Indigenous Peoples, organizations, and communities. As Volt-Age actively engages with Indigenous communities on various projects, we invite all interested scholars to explore this guide, which offers practical steps for turning ideas into action.
In May 2024, Volt-Age hosted an event entitled Community Partnerships for Decarbonization, where experts and community leaders shared insights on efforts to electrify and reduce emissions in communities across Canada. The videos highlight clean-energy projects, Indigenous-led initiatives, marine and Arctic renewable solutions and cross-sector collaborations driving community decarbonization.
Volt-Age is funded by a $123-million grant from the Canada First Research Excellence Fund.
