We continue AJ's story of Canada's first fully integrated renewable energy microgrid project in the community of Kiashke Zaaging Anishinaabek (KZA) - Gull Bay First Nation. AJ walks us through some critical points in the project, how he was able to overcome challenges that arose, how the communities values were reflected in the project.
