  • Support or Sponsor a Bright Futures Camp with an Indigenous community-partner in your area! We are planning to lead 8 camps in Western and Northern Canada, in summer 2024! One camp will be coordinated and led in every province/territory west of Quebec, this summer!

Bright Futures is a science camp for Indigenous youth ages 10-13.

Designed to inspire interest and promote careers in the electricity sector by engaging young people in hands-on Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) learning activities and continuing to evolve based on lessons learned since 2010.

Bright Futures is delivered by our partner Elephant Thoughts, a national charity dedicated to promoting the availability of quality education for children throughout the world. The camp is fully subsidized and delivered at no cost to the participants of the host community.

For 2024, EHRC is delivering camps in:

  • Fort William First Nation, NWO
  • Longplain First Nation, MB
  • TBC, SK
  • East Prairie Metis Community, AB
  • west Moberly First Nation, BC
  • TBC, YT
  • Liidlii Kue, NT
  • TBC, NU
