Gabriola Commons Community Centre

Solar | Community project we're supporting

Partner: Gabriola Commons Foundation

Once a goat cheese farm, the Gabriola Commons Community Centre is now home to a grassroots organization focused on preserving and enriching the local environment and community. After creating a community kitchen, gardens and a public transit system—the group is now setting out to prove how small-scale solar can also benefit the community. Bullfrog Power and the Regional District of Nanaimo have partnered with the Gabriola Commons Foundation to help make their new solar project possible.

About our community projects

Activists and organizers across the country are working to transition their communities away from fossil fuels. We created our community-based green energy projects grant to provide critical funding for these local efforts.

All bullfrogpowered customers help fund these small-scale, community-led projects, including solar panels on schools and in Indigenous communities, education and training programs, and a cleantech accelerator.
