But the nearest source is a small drainage ditch with a spring that is 2km (1.2 miles) from her home. In order to cook and wash, the family requires water to be hauled from the nearest source. Water is scarce and the climate is unforgiving and harsh. Her family faces challenges as they live a modest life in Kenya, Africa. This young girl in Kenya is nine years old. The impacts of labour camps, which include violence against Indigenous women, were outlined in the 2019 National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG).

There have been reports that the original plan for the land-based facility is back on. Alberta-based Pieridae Energy, which would liquefy natural gas piped in from Alberta and see it shipped off to Europe from a proposed site in Goldboro, N.S., made similar justifications to Canada’s National Observer in March. “However, we would have liked to see better alignment with provincial processes and were very disappointed by the prime minister’s supportive comments regarding LNG projects in Nova Scotia.”Īfter the initial announcement, Trudeau touted future LNG projects as part of Nova Scotia’s energy plan and, specifically, as a way to supply energy to Europe amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The government said the projects are in partnership with the Sipkne’katik, Glooscap and Annapolis First Nations, which will receive funding through the Smart Renewables and Electrification Pathways program. This is a significant amount of funding for clean energy in Nova Scotia that will flow back to ratepayers and help ensure that Indigenous communities benefit through majority ownership of the projects,” said Lane. The money is a great step forward, said Kelsey Lane, senior climate policy co-ordinator with the Ecology Action Centre. With this investment, Nova Scotia will have one of the largest battery systems in North America,” reads part of a release from the Prime Minister’s Office. “These batteries will help provide reliable electricity to homes and businesses and support the closure of coal-fired power plants, delivering cleaner air for Nova Scotians. He said up to $125 million will go towards wind projects and up to $130 million will be for batteries to store clean energy. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau this week announced $255 million for clean energy projects in Nova Scotia - a province where 75 per cent of energy comes from fossil fuels.
