About Powered by Communities

Established in 2017, Powered by Communities is an awareness-raising, communications and media platform that highlights and celebrates local community energy initiatives taking place across the country, from coast to coast to coast. The platform inspires, informs and engages its readership with stories and articles detailing community energy initiatives being led by local governments, municipalities, Indigenous communities, community groups, non-profits, charities, and enterprising individuals.  

Powered by Communities works alongside local experts, artists, writers, and journalists, to develop high-quality content and journalism that delivers informative stories, showcasing local energy initiatives from across Canada. The platform’s content is shared on QUEST Canada’s website and is often cross-published with various Canadian media outlets. The platform provides an inclusive space for learning and sharing, reporting on energy initiatives and projects that matter most to communities on a net-zero journey. 

Powered by Communities is led by QUEST Canada, and is supported by a number of municipal leaders, engaged citizens, and funders who are (em)powering communities on the pathway to net-zero.
