With the help of our amazing partners, Let's Talk Energy has built the Canadian Energy Literacy Network. This is a community of practice open to professionals, organizations, and advocates who are doing substantial work to improve energy literacy in Canada.
Why is there a need for a Canadian Energy Literacy Network?
There are several organizations working to promote energy literacy at a local, national and even regional level across Canada.These
organizations include NGOs, government, companies, universities/colleges,
museums, and advocacy groups. Because the groups are so diverse, there is
currently no association or network that allows them to connect and communicate
naturally.
We recognized the great opportunity to collaborate with these
groups, and we aim to be a point of connection between them. We want to help maximize the
impact of their work and their dollars by creating a network through which they
can share resources, learn from shared experience, and avoid duplicating work.
Together, we can better define what energy literacy means and bring it to more
Canadians than ever before.
How can I participate? Where
can I learn more?
If you’re a organization, agency, corporation, or an
energy-minded individual, we want to talk energy with you! To get involved with the Canadian Energy Literacy Network, or for more information, contact Jason Armstrong at jarmstrong@ingeniumcanada.org
