To do so\, we have devel oped the Legacy Energy and Alternative Power (LEAP) Master Plan which is a strategy for reclaiming our land base from oil and gas wells and turn ing them into assets which will help to repair the scars on our land\, a nd to pioneer technologies that will enable other First Nations to do th e same. Our nation members on and off reserve have made it clear that we need to plan and act to create new collaborative economic and social de velopment opportunities for our region\, and to collaboratively build re silience and self-sufficiency against challenges highlighted by the pand emic and recent climate-related disasters.\nThe LEAP Master Plan creates a platform to integrate investments and innovations in Energy\, Transpo rtation\, Building Materials\, Food and Water Sovereignty\, and Economic Sustainability for not only Frog Lake First Nations but also neighbouri ng Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities\, in Treaty Six Territory\, in the region\, in Alberta and across Canada. This initiative naturally fits within the Frog Lake Economic Development Corporation and the corr esponding Nation programming. We have gathered support from partners in industry\, finance\, education\, and governments to support our next ste ps to: build Indigenous talent in clean energy and related technologies\ , to create new sustainable energy and related infrastructure\, and to m ove our position upwards in global value chains. Implementing the severa l companies and strategies in LEAP will create an environment where curr ent and future generations can meaningfully participate in and help to b uild indigenous-led sustainable economy that provides resilient infrastr ucture that will attract innovation and forward thinking\, while reaffir ming our role as natural stewards of the land using our resources and ex perience.\nSpeaker\nCliffton Cross\, Frog Lake First Nations #121 &\; #122 Council Member\, is currently creating waves with FLFNs inside of a third term.
