Welcome to Metis Energy Future
Building Sustainable and
Energy-Efficient Homes for
Metis Settlements
Focus on minimizing energy use to conserve resources and lower environmental impact, promoting efficiency and sustainability.
Enhancing sustainability involves adopting eco-friendly practices to conserve resources, reduce waste, and minimize environmental impact.
Improving a community involves fostering collaboration, supporting local initiatives, and creating inclusive spaces for growth.
Introduction to the Project
Currently, we are working with Paddle Prairie Metis Settlement under the Toward Net-Zero (TNZ) Initiative with our partners at Natural Resources Canada. This involves constructing seven new energy-efficient homes that will meet a minimum Tier 2 standard under the National Building Code (NBC) 2020 and National Energy Code for Buildings (NECB) 2020. In addition, we’re retrofitting 95 senior and disabled Member homes with energy upgrades through the Greener Homes Grant and conducting energy-efficient retrofits at the PPMS Communiplex through the Green and Inclusive Community Buildings (GICB) Program.
Together we are ensuring that all new builds and retrofits meet stringent energy efficiency requirements, as measured through EnerGuide ratings, to provide long-term savings and a reduced environmental impact.

Metis Energy future
Stay up to date with our latest developments on the Metis Energy Future project:
In January 2024, we drafted a comprehensive blueprint that lays the foundation for energy-efficient construction within the Settlement.
Our project team, including partners from Armstrong Builders, Communitas Group, J.R. Paine and Associates, Sodo EFG Architecture, Acacia Engineering and Liberty Multimedia Inc, has held regular meetings to drive progress, from preliminary floor plans to site evaluations.
Completed in Sept 2024, our geotechnical report confirms stable ground conditions, paving the way for the new home construction.
Energy-efficient retrofits are in progress at the PPMS Communiplex and 95 homes owned by the Settlement’s Seniors and Disabled members, with a focus on upgrading to energy efficient windows, doors, air sealing and insulation.
