Event Description

Jan 26th - Jan 30th Workshop - FULL

Now Registering for Feb 23rd - 27th, 2011

This workshop is designed to provide participants with the knowledge and tools required to grasp both business and technical aspects of solar photovoltaic integration. Students will be immersed in the specifics of grid tied solar photovoltaic design and installation; utility and Electrical Safety Authority protocol; and safety & best practice procedures. In addition, the student will be afforded in depth analysis of the Ontario solar market and its main driver the Ontario Power Authorities Feed In Tariff program.

CREA believes that renewable energy and sustainable practices will provide an ever increasing source of “green collar jobs” here in Ontario and across Canada. This workshop has been developed in an effort to position the graduate for success in the Ontario solar market and provide a steadfast education which will weather future developments in the sector. CREA’s initiative to bring a standard of education to the Ontario market place is embodied by this workshop; to this end, the workshop has been created by not only industry professionals but also education specialists to help ensure that our certificate of completion will endure regulatory compliance as the sector and trade of solar PV installation is established here in Ontario.

Minister MacDonald concludes successful outreach to southern Alberta

This week, the Honourable Heath MacDonald, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, wrapped up a successful outreach to Calgary and communities across southern Alberta. To begin his outreach, Minister MacDonald announced an investment of nearly $900,000 for SmartGRO Bioengineering Inc. under the Agricultural Clean Technology (ACT) Program – Research and Innovation Stream. In partnership with Hydragreens vertical farm, this funding enables SmartGRO to test and scale new clean lighting technology that helps indoor agriculture producers grow more while using less electricity. In addition to the $750 million investment dedicated to controlled environment agriculture, through the National Food Security Strategy, innovations like these boost the sector by lowering costs and helping local producers grow more of our food year-round, closer to home. While in Bow Island, Minister MacDonald visited a multi-generational farm to discuss pulse and sugar beet operations. In Barnwell, he saw the prod

FCC invites expressions of interest in new Agri-food Project Finance initiative

Farm Credit Canada (FCC) today launched a 60-day Expression of Interest (EOI) process for its new $1 billion Agri-food Project Finance initiative. Organizations are invited to bring forward major agri-food processing and manufacturing projects across Canada in support of a stronger, more resilient and affordable food system for all Canadians. As part of the Government of Canada's National Food Security Strategy, the specialized financing is designed to advance construction-ready, infrastructure projects that expand food processing and manufacturing capacity across Canada. By expanding food processing here at home, Agri-food Project Finance aims to create more value-added Canadian agricultural products, strengthen domestic supply chains and improve long-term food security. "Our government is focused on strengthening Canada's food system so Canadians can count on a reliable supply of high-quality, affordable food," said Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, Heath MacDonald.
