## Resource

Four million dollars is pouring into the University of Calgary to upgrade Western Canada’s power grid — part of a 26-million-dollar federal push to modernize clean energy infrastructure, boost Indigenous leadership, and tackle rising demand from EVs, data centers, and homes. Led by Dr. Blake Shaffer and the Indigenous Power Coalition, this Western Transmission Catalyst project aims to connect provinces, cut emissions, and create economic opportunities — turning past grid-building hurdles into shared wins for communities, industry, and the environment.
