Community Engagement Overview
The Haíɫzaqv Climate Action Team (HCAT) created opportunities for active community involvement through multiple platforms. HCAT has set a new standard for community engagement for the Haíɫzaqv Nation. As a team we are especially proud of our community engagement having had to navigate the added challenges the global pandemic Covid 19 has created. We are so proud that over 1,000 Haíɫzaqv descendants engaged to make the Haíɫzaqv Community Energy Plan a reality.
Overview of Community Engagement Strategy:
● Two online zoom visioning sessions
● Utilization of ethelo the online consensus building survey platform
