Currents of change

See how green energy comes to life

Currents of change is a profile series celebrating people who are pursuing renewable energy and inspiring those around them. These changemakers have brought new green energy projects online with help from Bullfrog’s community projects grant.

“Schools are a perfect location for renewable energy projects because they are community hubs.”

Daniel Bida

“ZooShare is a biogas story now being told in the GTA (to Zoo visitors, schoolchildren, professionals and politicians), Zoo poo jokes and all, and it’s incredibly meaningful.”

Jessie Jollymore

“I’ve always thought that when you change the way you look at things—the things you look at change.”

Judith Roux

“Taking action for the planet—keeping our waters clean, our forests green, our air breathable—is the only action on the table.”

Chief Patrick Michell

“Unless our world tries to do something about climate change, I’m concerned that big change is coming. I don’t think that I can solve climate change alone. It’s bigger than all of us and it’s going to require all of us working together.”

Dusty Williams

“Adopting new technologies or ways of doing things, especially in smaller communities, can be challenging.”

Kirby Wirchenko

“Saskatoon is one of the sunniest cities in North America—but we don’t have a ton of solar energy projects.”

Mike Brigham

“Having SolarShare projects in various communities can give the residents a sense of pride that they are doing something positive for the environment.”
