Siksika Nation Climate Change and Renewable Energy: Mitigation, Adaptation, Resilience, Food Security, Economic Development

This project is a cooperative arrangement with Siksika economic development. University of Lethbridge
researchers are evaluating a range of economic development options for consideration by Siksika. These options
are focussed on renewable energy, sustainability, and food security for the nation, and for economic development
to further Nation participating in the Alberta and Canadian economies. Siksika has a valuable land base within a
few kilometres of the city of Calgary, the largest market economy in Alberta. This joint project is looking at the
viability of developing a range of renewable electricity generation options, and developing new technology
greenhouses that use that renewable energy base for sustainable food production, and quite possibly in phase 2,
food production for markets in the city of Calgary, and beyond.
