QUEST Canada is working to strengthen its organizational capacity to deliver climate and energy solutions in Alberta. This project focuses on equipping its team with the tools and skills needed to better serve communities throughout Alberta as they advance resilience and emissions-reduction strategies.
With our Springboard Grant, QUEST will first procure a professional project-management software platform to centralize and modernize its operations. This will directly benefit communities participating in its Net-Zero Communities Accelerator (NCA) program throughout Alberta, including St. Albert, Athabasca, Devon, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, Okotoks and Pincher Creek, communities situated across the Bow, North Saskatchewan and Athabasca watersheds, within Treaty 6 and Treaty 7 territories.
Second, QUEST will invest in facilitation and systems-change training for staff delivering the NCA and the Energy Transition Policy Program throughout Alberta. These trainings will enhance their ability to convene municipalities, Indigenous partners, utilities and civil society in inclusive dialogue, helping communities co-design practical energy transition pathways.
