The ICE Operations and Finance team work hard to ensure that we are able to deliver all our programs and services.

Operations has the responsibility of ensuring that the administrative activities within the organization are carried out in an appropriate, cost-effective way, by providing structure and support to other employees. These activities include: coordinating technical and office needs, improving operational management systems, processes, and best practices, and management of human resources — including employee onboarding — which are all critical to our success.
The Finance team covers a wide range of services, from basic bookkeeping to establishing policies and procedures to analyse trends and forecasts that assist management in making strategic decisions. They are also responsible for the management of the organization’s cash flow by establishing standard costs and collecting operational data. This ensures there are enough funds available to meet the day-to-day operations.

Looking to the Future
Every season teaches a unique and valuable lesson.
Indigenous survival was based around adaption to the surrounding changing environment.
As a young and growing organization, ICE has identified building sound structural strategies to further develop the organization with an emphasis on governance, base funding, and communications. Expanding on our programmatic growth — with a focus on healthy energy living, youth, entrepreneurship — and continuing our success with mentorship, will be prominent in the coming years. Most importantly, Indigenous culture and worldview are guiding all we do, from leadership to program planning, to incorporating Indigenous culture and language in our platforms and products. Our Board of Directors and Advisory Council members will play a strong role with representatives from across the country.
Lastly, as we work to empower Indigenous peoples through clean energy, we have identified commitments to social action to focus on equity and anti-racism primarily related to Indigenous people.
National Partnership Hub
The ICE National Partnership Hub is based on reciprocity. We deeply value developing strong, transparent, and meaningful relationships with each of our partners.
ICE has set out an innovative strategic approach that establishes it as National Partnership Hub for Indigenous clean energy participation throughout Canada, benefitting every province and territory.
The work that ICE does as a collective and on our programmatic levels, would not be possible without the strong and lasting partnerships we have developed. We would like to express our deep gratitude to all the Indigenous and global community members, National Indigenous Organizations, key governments, clean energy and development assistance agencies, utilities, academic institutes, and other organizations who have contributed to ICE over the past year.
