Program Purpose (French)
L'objectif à long terme du projet est que le promoteur utilise l'approvisionnement local en bois de la forêt Armstrong. Le financement de l'Initiative de foresterie autochtone pour le projet permettra de changer la position sociale et économique de la collectivité de Whitesand et d'autres collectivités de Premières nations. Les fonds serviront à la mise en place de nouvelles installations qui créeront des emplois utiles et à long terme et feront passer la collectivité et ses environs d'une production d'énergie électrique au diesel très coûteuse à une cogénération à la biomasse plus durable et plus favorable à l'environnement.
