SOLAR EDUCATION
We are committed to helping educate all residents about the importance and viability of producing our own solar energy on the Sunshine Coast.
We have held public meetings to inform, inspire and engage community members. Our most recent public meeting was on April 7, 2018, slides from that meeting are avaiable here. Recently, we partnered with Sustainable Business Leadership students from the British Columbia Institute of Technology to research and develop optimal policies for solar panel installations and access to solar panel financing. Through an ongoing relationship with SD46 and BCIT, we hope to develop innovative elementary and high school education programs as well as continue to inform and empower the community at large.

We collaborate with ElderU to offer courses regarding Solar Energy. Both the Spring 2016 and the Winter 2017 course, Solar Energy with Gerry Pageau as instructor, were very well attended. The course content can be found here: G Pageau Course Notes
Jim Pawley's course, How can we get to 100% renewables?, was in their Winter 2017 program. Course content is available via this link: Jim Pawley's Eldercollege Course
