Kettle and Stony Point First Nation, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - June 13, 2023) - Iconic Power Systems Inc. (ICONIC) and the Three Fires Group (TFG) are thrilled to announce a strategic partnership to pursue a variety of energy projects in the Province of Ontario.

"Iconic is excited to have the opportunity to partner with the Three Fires Group in pursuit of these crucial projects," says Jeremy Thompson, Indigenous Relations & Renewables at Iconic. "We are keenly aware of the importance of utilizing the skill set of local people, and this is one of the key drivers upon which this relationship is built."
The Three Fires Group brings a wealth of experience and a commitment to creating prosperity for current and future generations. The group lends business capacity and technical expertise to fellow Nations within the Three Fires Confederacy traditional territories and external partners, creating a model of sustainability and reconciliation. Recently, they provided technical and investment assistance for the Three Fires Nations-Ontario Southwestern Ontario Infrastructure and Economic Opportunities Table, a joint Crown-Indigenous initiative to develop clean energy infrastructure in Southern Ontario.
Reggie George, Executive Director of Special Projects and Partnerships at TFG, expresses his optimism for the partnership. "We are ready to work closely with Iconic on the development of various energy projects. This collaboration not only aligns with our objectives but also provides an excellent platform to showcase the skill sets of our local people," he says.

This partnership with Iconic is a great example of our commitment to advance reconciliation."
