Community investment

Connecting power and possibility

As electricity demand grows across Ontario, we’re investing in the energy workforce, supporting community initiatives and strengthening our Indigenous partnerships to build a better, brighter future for all.

Electricity Now

In collaboration with Electricity Canada and Electricity Human Resources Canada, we’re expanding the Electricity Now program to Grade 9 and 10 classrooms across Ontario.

Through hands-on, electricity-focused STEM learning, students can explore clear pathways to energy-focused career opportunities.

Our five year $1.5M+ investment aims to reach:

500+ Ontario high schools participating
1 Million students trained
