Founded in 1999, it has grown from a basketball league to offering 17 year-round events and regular programming. The center is building a new state-of-the-art facility with accessible features for people with disabilities.

Empower Me Center's mission is to meet the needs of families and help individuals with disabilities find their purpose and contribute meaningfully to society.
Enbridge has introduced a novel approach to vegetation management at its Sarnia Solar Project in Canada. The company has partnered with local sheep farmers to deploy a flock of about 270 Rideau Arcott sheep to graze on an 85-acre section of the solar property. This pilot program aims to provide several benefits, including:
1. Reduced risk of damage to solar panels from conventional mowing debris
2. Decreased fire hazard from motorized equipment
3. Effective grazing close to infrastructure
4. Potential elimination of pesticide use
5. Support for native flowering plant growth
The initiative aligns with Enbridge's ongoing efforts to preserve the ecosystem at the 1,100-acre site, which houses 1.3 million solar panels and generates 80 MW of electricity. Previous conservation efforts include preserving endangered plants, restoring woodlands and wetlands, and introducing honeybee colonies as part of a pollinator program.
The Great Lakes Boat Building School (GLBBS) in Cedarville, Michigan, is keeping the tradition of wooden boat building alive. Located in a 'wood-boat mecca', the school trains students in the craft of wooden boat construction and marine service technology. With a nearly 100% placement rate over the past seven years, GLBBS graduates find jobs across the U.S. and even internationally.
The school faces challenges in keeping up with expensive equipment needs. Enbridge has supported GLBBS with a $15,000 Fueling Futures grant to help purchase a 150-horsepower engine, contributing to a larger $750,000 campaign for learning equipment. This support helps maintain the school's competitive edge in training students on the latest industry technology.
Enbridge has announced plans to build and operate the Orange Grove Solar project near Corpus Christi, Texas. The project, set to be completed in late 2025, will provide 130 megawatts (MW) of power to the local grid. AT&T has signed a long-term virtual power purchase agreement with Enbridge for the project's output, helping the telecom giant offset its energy expenses and reduce its carbon footprint.
Orange Grove Solar will be Enbridge's first solar project in Texas, featuring about 300,000 solar panels on 920 acres. The construction phase is expected to create between 150 and 250 jobs. This project is part of Enbridge's broader commitment to developing onshore renewable projects across North America, with the company having invested over US$7 billion in renewable energy and power transmission projects to date.
The National Great Rivers Research and Education Center (NGRREC) and Lewis and Clark Community College are hosting their annual Water Festival for fifth graders in Illinois. The event, supported by a $10,000 Fueling Futures grant from Enbridge, aims to educate students about water conservation and protection. The festival includes 40 interactive stations covering various aspects of water education, from science to recreation.
In 2023, the event attracted over 900 students from 36 classes in five counties. The 2024 festival, scheduled for September 27, is expected to be even larger. The program aligns with Illinois' Grade 5 science curriculum and often exceeds curricular requirements. Teachers are offered free professional development workshops to enhance classroom activities related to the festival's content.
The event's goal is to inspire students to develop a connection with water resources and encourage environmental stewardship. The NGRREC's location near the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers underscores the importance of river conservation for the Riverbend community.
