The federal government is investing more than $2.8 million to help make the Six Nations Polytechnic's (SNP) campus more energy efficient and accessible. This investment was announced by Minister Sean Fraser and SNP President and CEO Rebecca Jamieson.
This project will replace the current geothermal heating system, reclad the exterior façade, install high-efficiency boilers, and replace more than 400 light and electrical fixtures with LED and energy efficient units - all of which will bring down the campus' expenses. It will also add three concrete ramps to entries and exits, install accessible levers to all interior doors, and modernize the current accessible elevator. Finally, the campus will also purchase a 150 kilo-Watt backup generator in case of a power outage.
Six Nations Polytechnic provides community-based Indigenous knowledge, education, and skills training through high-school and post-secondary programs that include literacy and essential skills, STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math), apprenticeships and professional development.
