Enabling Efficiency Report

Pathways and recommendations based on the perceptions, barriers, and needs of Indigenous people, communities, and organizations.

This report was prepared by ICE for Natural Resources Canada’s Office of Energy Efficiency. While this research is primarily designed to guide the Office of Energy Efficiency’s work, the findings and recommendations apply to a wide range of people and groups. This includes other federal government departments and agencies, provincial and territorial bodies, private and philanthropic sector organizations, and more. We encourage all these groups and more to apply the lessons and recommendations regardless of whether they are working on energy efficiency programming or not. We also encourage Indigenous people, communities, and partners to use the recommendations when advocating for changes they want to be realized.

When referencing and applying insights gained from this report, you are encouraged to be mindful of co-opting or appropriating what has been shared. Acknowledging source inspiration reinforces the valuable contribution of Indigenous people and allies.

You are also invited to share feedback about how the report has helped you with ICE and/or NRCan. This feedback is valuable when assessing impact.
