Aboriginal-Canadians and energy literacy

This study is the third in a series of surveys on Canadian energy literacy and opinions on energy. The first was a pan-Canadian survey of 1,508 households, while the second surveyed 589 business and policy leaders across Canada. This current report presents the results of a survey of Aboriginal people across Canada, their knowledge of energy issues and preferences for dealing with the challenges of energy efficiency, land access and environmental protection in thefuture. This survey is confined to this group of Canadians and the conclusions are not meant to represent or characterize energy literacy in terms of all residents of Canada. A further report will combine and contrast all three of the surveys and make recommendations for program and policy design on this topic.
