Current Project
Featured WADE Canada project
Lakeland College's renewable energy applied research is currently a feature project of WADE Canada. WADE is the World Alliance for Dencentralized Energy. Our energy cabin demo site and the renewable energy conservation program are two of the main features of Lakeland's work to date. Plans are to do more. Lakeland is hoping to do a lot more through proposed NSERC College and Community Innovation Program funding.
