Bioheat Opportunities in Rural & Remote Communities BIOHEAT OPPORTUNITIES IN RURAL & REMOTE COMMUNITIES WORKSHOP WORKBOOK & RESOURCE KIT Delivered By Welcome Dawn Lambe, Executive Director, Biomass North Development Centre As Executive Director at Biomass North Development Centre, Dawn is leading Biomass North’s latest project: implementing the Northern Ontario Bioeconomy Strategy, developed in partnership with the Union of Ontario Indians. This strategy focuses on regional economic development through sustainable bioenergy solutions, biocomposite and biochemical innovation, and the development of demonstration projects across northern Ontario. Dawn also sits on the board of the Ontario Sustainable Energy Association, representing communities and industry partners in northern Ontario. Aani, Tansi, Bonjour, Hello! Welcome to the Bioheat Opportunities in Remote and Rural Communities Workshop! I am honoured to be your moderator for this information-packed event. Community Scale Bioheat is an important component of a robust bioeconomy and yields more than just economic benefits, as you’ll learn today. In this workshop, you will get a better understanding of the true value proposition of sustainable bioenergy, and the unique social and environmental benefits it can bring to communities as well as the economic dividends it yields. Experts will share how Community Energy Planning is an important tool to develop a strategic approach to energy planning, and where bioheat fits in. You will walk away with concrete tools and knowledge that will be invaluable in assisting your community with developing its Community Energy Plan. You will hear from communities who have developed their Community Energy Plan, the lessons they learned, and the best practices they recommend. You will hear from experts and community leaders about the opportunities and lessons learned from projects in Canada and beyond. You will also learn about some of the regulatory changes that are occurring that will support your community’s future bioheat initiatives. Perhaps the MOST important element of today’s workshop will be the opportunity to network with project and subject-matter experts, as well as your counterparts from communities across the north. The network you build here today will be a great support to any initiatives your community undertakes. I look forward to an exciting and jam-packed day of sharing and learning. Thank you for joining us.

I acknowledge the relationship that the original custodians, Canada’s Indigenous Peoples,1 have with the surrounding lands referred to as northwestern Ontario. As a new Asian settler in Canada, I believe that recognizing the land on which we exist as settlers is an important part of the progression of acknowledgments, recognition, and appreciation leading to reconciliation. The ongoing process of building reciprocal relations is based on respect. A new settler has a “mother country” with thriving cultures to go back to at any point of time. But for the Indigenous peoples it is all here. This is their home. And, thus, there is a need to learn about the history of Indigenous People across Turtle Island. Taking part through deliberate actions throughout the research period, I educated myself about Canada’s colonial history and became an active and compassionate ally to Indigenous Peoples.
