Sustainability

There are challenges to living responsibly in a relatively remote location like Hakai Beach that has limited resources. We are committed to doing the best we can:

  • Reduce our dependency on hydrocarbons for electricity generation by harnessing the power of the wind.
  • Increase our capacity to gather and produce food locally. In this respect we are inspired by the 100 Mile Diet movement.
  • Encourage the principle that food produced in our territory (principally fish and shellfish) should be consumed locally, rather than frozen and shipped thousands of miles away.
