One thing that I haven’t really noted from this department is the area of residual heat and I think we have to realize that there is that potential. I know that Fort McPherson has taken that on. They have a joint venture between the Gwich’in Development Corporation and the NWT Power Corporation, which that project has been working for several years now and in which, again, other communities are looking at that as a potential area and I don’t really see anything in your budget

here for that. I think that we have to realize that where a building is close enough to a power plant that has the ability to move the heat from the power plant to say the fire hall or a garage which is next door, I think that type of stuff has to be considered where we can take advantage of such facilities like diesel plants to generate that heat, but, more importantly, expand systems so that we are able to build on systems that are already in place.

Like I mentioned, the residual heat system in Fort McPherson, which is connected to the canvas shop, the water treatment plant, the school, the swimming pool. Again, I think we have to expand that to other facilities in the community. Also, if you’re looking at a capacity issue, I think that’s perfect for biomass and using it as the secondary system to reheat the system so that you’re not using diesel fuel to recharge the system and if you’re using wood that’s probably more environmentally sound.

So I’d just like to ask why haven’t you considered residual heat in the confines of some of the initiatives you’re looking at here. Thank you.
