As part of the MCCAC’s Solar for Schools Program (SFS), Canadian Rockies Regional Division No. 12 installed a 105 kW solar PV system on the roof of the Elizabeth Rummel School in Canmore. The project was completed in July 2020.
Elizabeth Rummel School’s motto is “Come and Grow with Us.” With the addition of the solarpanels here at our school, I can’t wait to have our students grow their knowledge about the useof renewable energy to power part of our school building. Being an earlier leaning school, theearlier they learn about renewable energy sources and moving away from fossil fuels, the betterthey will become stewards of the environment.
