Yarnin’ Energy: Tips & Tricks is a powerful, bite-size video series by ICAN that’s all about lighting the way for First Nations households to save on energy — in ways that are real, respectful, and doable. Each short video cuts through the jargon to bring you clear tips, tools, and motivation, plus the contact help you need.
Some themes you’ll see across the shorts:
- How to set up a payment plan with your energy provider when bills are getting too big.
- Finding and using rebates, concessions, hardship support so you don’t miss out.
- Knowing how much your appliances are costing you, so you can make smarter choices.
- Practical tips for everyday energy-savings: turning things off, using energy wisely, reducing waste. (Even small changes add up.)
- Encouragement to reach out — an ICAN Yarnin’ Energy Mentor can help walk you through your bills, explain options, and help connect you with supports.
What makes this series special:
- It’s short: quick info you can watch on your phone, no need to sit through long videos.
- For the community, by people who get it: they tend to use straightforward language, real examples, and show respect.
- It’s actionable: after watching, you’re more likely to feel confident to act — call your provider, check what discounts you might be eligible for, or adjust something in your home.
