Leading the joint venture with Highbury are 10 proactive and forward-thinking Treaty 3 Fort Frances Ontario area First Nations, further underscoring the project's commitment to Indigenous leadership and environmental stewardship.
"Transportation companies, railways, airlines, and heavy truck operators are increasingly seeking low-carbon fuel sources to meet stricter emissions regulations, and this demand can benefit WBCE Corp. and the First Nation communities," said WBCE Corp President and Mitaanjigamiing First Nation Chief Janice Henderson.
"It is a chance for First Nations to do something good for our forests, it's our chance to do something good for the environment, and it's our chance to be rewarded for doing good things," said WBCE Corp. board member Chief Wayne Smith of the Naicatchewenin First Nation. "I see 'our time' as the time of an energy revolution — when we turn away from fuels that damage the environment and put life at risk and adopt fuels that are better for all living things."
