Frog Lake First Nations have embarked on an intergenerational plan to transform our nation and lands from reliance on oil and gas extraction to pioneering leadership in clean energy. To do so, we have developed the Legacy Energy and Alternative Power (LEAP) Master Plan which is a strategy for reclaiming our land base from oil and gas wells and turning them into assets which will help to repair the scars on our land, and to pioneer technologies that will enable other First Nations to do the same. Our nation members on and off reserve have made it clear that we need to plan and act to create new collaborative economic and social development opportunities for our region, and to collaboratively build resilience and self-sufficiency against challenges highlighted by the pandemic and recent climate-related disasters.

  • Understanding the LEAP plan to integrate investments and innovations in energy, transportation, food and water sovereignty and economic sustainability across Canada
  • Building Indigenous talent in clean energy and related technologies to create new sustainable energy and related infrastructure
  • Determining the implementation of the strategies in LEAP and what it will mean for the future
