The first cooperatively owned community solar project in BC was installed this summer. Come learn how you can invest in this and other local solar energy projects.In Europe hundreds of thousands of people are owners of community renewable energy systems. And they receive regular payments from the energy generated. Here in Canada the concept is relatively new. This will be an opportunity to learn how these projects could work in BC, how you can get involved. You will also have the chance to…See More
