WINNIPEG -- A seven acre solar power farm in Manitoba is officially up and running in Fisher River Cree Nation.

The first nation says it’s the largest in the province, and the first Indigenous-owned utility scale solar farm in Canada.

Fisher River Cree Nation Chief David Crate said the development of the project is another step in generating revenue for the community. He said the farm has given the community a bigger sense of empowerment and pride.
