We are thrilled to be presented with this meaningful award,” said Erwin Heuck, who accepted the award in his role as CanREA’s Director for Saskatchewan.

“It is an honour and a privilege for CanREA to have the opportunity to support Indigenous-led capacity building around sustainability and energy security, especially in Northern and remote communities across the country,” said Heuck.
