Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I’d like to recognize the community of Enterprise for being distinguished with the Energy Action Award from the Arctic Energy Alliance. The Hamlet of Enterprise receives its water by trucked delivery from Hay River. To save money and energy, the community decided to reduce its water use. Community members and businesses exchanged their top-load washers for energy-efficient ones, Energy Star front-loading washers, replaced toilets with low-flow toilets, replaced shower heads and taps with low-flow models. Qualifying members received Energy Efficiency and Incentive Program rebates from the Arctic Energy Alliance for their efforts. Not only was water use reduced, there were fewer water truck deliveries to Enterprise, thus reducing greenhouse gas emissions. I’d like to congratulate the community of Enterprise. Mahsi.
