‘We’re trying to break trail:’ Green Lake invests in green energy
One Saskatchewan village hopes to become a trail blazer in the province by investing in green energy.
The northern village of Green Lake, roughly 210 km north-west of Prince Albert, has built solar panels on the roof of its community centre.
“We’re trying to break trail,” Mayor Ric Richardson said. “We know it was just a matter of someone doing it first. We’re really honoured to be the ones that are.”
While the panels have been installed, electrical work still needs to be done. Richardson said the community has dreamed of going to renewable energy for “decades.”
