To meet Canada’s ambitious target of cutting greenhouse gas emissions 40–45 percent below 2005 levels by 2030 and reaching net zero by 2050, Canada’s economy will need to be powered by clean energy sources and driven by low- and zero-emission transportation. On the path to net-zero, Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) is committed to building meaningful partnerships and ensuring Indigenous peoples benefit from funding opportunities that can contribute to our shared fight against climate change.

The Steve Marshall Ford Lincoln family, led by Ann Marie Clark, strive every day to nurture the store’s fun loving and relaxed family atmosphere while maintaining our education, training and equipment. This mindset makes it second nature to take care of our guests beyond their expectations.

At WaveMaker Press, our mission is to empower voices that celebrate inclusion, social change and environmentalism by creating children’s books that showcase the richness and diversity of indigenous culture in Canada. Through our publications, we aim to promote literacy, cultural awareness, and respect for indigenous communities. As an indigenous-owned publishing company, we are committed to working with indigenous authors, story tellers, illustrators, knowledge keepers and cultural advisors to ensure that our books are authentic, accurate, and respectful. Our goal is to inspire and educate future generations, while also fostering pride and self-esteem in indigenous children by sharing our authors stories and experiences with the world.
