Chacewater NDP 2018 – 2030 This is what we have done thus far. We believe it to be most important. We are open to ideas and suggestions. We want to set a good example. We believe the Community is a key driver towards achieving collective Renewable Energy aims and objectives. We want to challenge others to ask themselves, “What can we do to help?”

What can we do now as individuals What can we do now as individuals?
