Yes, absolutely. In fact, as an organization, we did partner a number of years ago with the BC Bioenergy Network, which generously offered some resources for us to participate in looking at small-scale combined heat and power bioenergy facilities for first nations. We have more than 50 remote communities in B.C. that are on diesel generators, surrounded by the woodlands, in which we could be installing these units and transferring to green energy.
We started a pilot project with Kwadacha Nation in the north, and that's taken many years. It's been very challenging to navigate mostly the policy environment of BC Hydro in the province and Aboriginal Affairs Canada's on-reserve polices, and trying to coordinate that so we could switch from diesel generators to a bioenergy source. It's a very real, very good opportunity for small rural communities, and we're eager to try to find a way to get back into that realm of research and investment. It's a really good one.
