Enoch Cree Nation and Sol Spaces Inc. Forge Transformative Partnership to Cultivate Sustainable Food Security
EDMONTON, Alberta, October 10, 2024 — TheNewswire – Visionstate Corp. Is pleased to announce its portfolio company, Sol Spaces Inc., an innovator in sustainable greenhouse technology, has entered into a partnership with Enoch Cree Nation, a resilient First Nations community located in Treaty No. 6 territory. Together, they are embarking on a transformative mission that goes beyond business—a shared vision to ensure access to a vital resource: food.
At the core of this partnership is the development of a cutting-edge, 1,200-square-foot greenhouse that will utilize advanced technology and eco-friendly design. This initiative aims to foster food sovereignty while promoting sustainability and innovation within the community.
The greenhouse, constructed using Structured Insulated Panels (SIPs), offers both energy efficiency and superior insulation, ensuring the internal environment remains stable year-round. SIPs not only reduce energy consumption but also significantly lower the carbon footprint of the greenhouse. By using these materials, Sol Spaces is setting a new standard in environmentally conscious design.
In addition to SIPs, the greenhouse will be equipped with smart sensors integrated into the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem. These sensors will continuously monitor essential environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity, transmitting real-time data to optimize crop production. Heat pumps will ensure consistent temperatures during extreme weather, enhancing the greenhouse's ability to produce year-round.
Enoch Cree Nation, known as Maskkosihk in Cree, is a community with deep cultural roots and a strong connection to the land. With over 2,566 band members, they are dedicated to preserving their traditions while fostering resilience and community well-being.
“Access to affordable, healthy food is a challenge we all face,” said Elliott Putters, President of Sol Spaces Inc. “This partnership isn’t just about building greenhouses—it’s about empowering communities and building resilience for future generations.”
Construction on the greenhouse began in spring 2024, with operations expected to be fully underway by Fall. This initiative represents a commitment to creating lasting change—together, Sol Spaces and Enoch Cree Nation are sowing the seeds of hope for a future where food security is within reach for all.
