Indigenous communities have long been stewards of the land, but they are also leaders in shaping what a sustainable future looks like today.
In this documentary short, we explore how Four Winds & Associates is working alongside Indigenous communities across Alberta to improve the efficiency and sustainability of community-owned infrastructure. Through collaborative approaches and capacity-building, communities are actively shaping solutions that reflect their values, priorities, and long-term vision for the land.
Since 2024, Four Winds & Associates has identified over 30,000 GJ of potential energy savings across 84 Indigenous-owned buildings through their Deep Retrofit Accelerator Initiative—representing more than 1,500 tonnes of potential CO₂ emissions reductions.
