    Energy

    A focus on reducing the amount of energy consumed, combined with renewable energy production and encouragement, positions the Frontenacs at the forefront of the green energy revolution. Conservation measures combined with clean, low-impact electrical generation contribute to a gradual shift away from a reliance on fossil fuels.
