I'm not super in the know on the program, but I understand the huge use of energy that all these homes have. This is a huge deal. They're all elevated because of the permafrost environment, which doesn't help with keeping heat in a home because you have free airflow underneath most houses.
There are a couple of very specialized energy-efficient homes that have been introduced in the region to reduce energy use in homes, which is important because the communities right now rely on very short windows to get energy into the region. This past winter, Inuvik was on a very short supply of energy—within days of having to curtail and evacuate people.
It is a sensitive topic. Any way you can extend the availability of energy that's stored in the region is going to be a huge help to households from a cost perspective. Also, it's an avoidance of what could be a bit of a disaster.
They are great programs. Energy efficiency is always top of mind for all the communities in the north.
