Our Projects
Through its extensive global network, GIDT brings leading-edge technology, know-how and best-practices globally to support innovation locally.
Our Current Projects
We are supporting a number of communities in Canada in the following areas:
Land
We are supporting indigenous leaders and Elders to heal the land using Indigenous Knowledge, redefining how we relate to Mother Earth and our role as part of nature.
Stay tuned for our official launch of this project in the early Spring 2020!
Water
We support communities develop natural, local solutions for clean drinking water, sanitation and healing of our waterways using Indigenous Knowledge and new technologies, principally in the area of biomimicry.
Energy
We work with communities and partners to develop local clean energy systems that create green jobs, self-reliant communities and responsible forest management
Shelter
We support communities in the design and build of healthy homes that are connected to the land and natural environment, that optimize and integrate local energy, water and food sources. By facilitating partnerships, providing capacity building and connecting with innovative technologies, we support communities to become leaders in sustainable housing.
Food
We support the creation of value-add local organic supply chains, local food systems that bring nutrition back to people and create food sovereignty for communities, and educational programs that educate youth about the benefits of healthy local food production.
Our Past Projects
Our Advocacy & Policy Work
We continue to advocate for, educate and bring awareness to better ways of working together and bridging the indigenous and secular ways of knowing. We are currently working on a number of initiatives around reframing the conversation around land management and conservation through the indigenous lens. We continue to speak at conferences across Canada and around the world, promoting best-practices and indigenous decision-making in economic development.
