ABOUT RiRC2025

The Renewables in Remote Communities (RiRC) Conference is a biennial event which convenes a wide range of Indigenous leaders, government, industry, utilities and more for dialogue on renewable energy development in remote Indigenous communities across Canada. With the goal of accelerating and supporting an Indigenous-led transition to clean energy, the conference serves as a forum for exchange, networking and capacity-building.

This playlist includes a collection of discussions held at the fourth Renewables in Remote Communities Conference, held from March 25-28, 2025 on the shared traditional territory of Kwanlin Dün First Nation and Ta’an Kwäch’än Council in Whitehorse, Yukon.
