September 11, 2025 Edmonton, Alberta Natural Resources Canada

The Government of Canada is making Canada an energy superpower by investing in a skilled, inclusive workforce and ensuring energy is affordable in Indigenous and northern communities.

Today, Corey Hogan, Parliamentary Secretary to the Honourable Tim Hodgson, Canada's Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, announced $3.2 million in federal funding through the Toward Net-Zero (TNZ) Homes and Communities Program to support five clean energy projects across Western and Northern Canada that will:

  • Equip trades workers and Alberta's Indigenous population with the skills to build affordable, energy-efficient homes; and,
  • Increase residential energy efficiency and support Inuit communities working to move away from fossil fuels.

Together, these initiatives reinforce the government's commitment to becoming the strongest economy in the G7, powered by Canada workers, affordable energy and solutions that deliver long-term prosperity.
