Indigenous Clean Energy

The Indigenous Clean Energy (ICE) Social Enterprise is a pan-Canadian not-for-profit platform which advances Indigenous inclusion in Canada’s energy futures economy through Indigenous leadership, and broad-based collaboration with energy companies, utilities, governments, development firms, cleantech innovators, academic sectors, and capital markets.

Our Mission is to stimulate collaboration that facilitates leadership by, and meaningful collaboration with, Indigenous peoples in the transition to a clean energy future. This drives us towards our vision of a collaborative, community-driven clean energy future respects the rights of Indigenous peoples and enriches their communities.

The ICE Social Enterprise achieves impact through its four programs:

• 20/20 Catalysts Program – the national clean energy capacity building program for Indigenous individuals from communities and organizations across Canada.

• The ICE Network – a collaborative space for people working to advance Indigenous clean energy projects and Indigenous participation in the clean energy sector.

• The Global Hub – an international initiative to build connections, share learnings, and promote cooperation among Indigenous groups globally.

• Bringing It Home – a national initiative working to foster community-centered ‘Healthy Energy Living’ enabling environments that engrain energy efficiency for new and retrofitted homes and facilities.

• Generation Power – a training and career program for Indigenous youth in the clean energy sector. Generation Power is a holistic, capacity-based program that acknowledges the skills, talent and qualifications of youth and employers. 

The ICE Social Enterprise is governed by a Board of Directors, along with an Executive &  Advisory Council which provides oversight and input to ensure programming brings the maximum about of benefits to Indigenous people
