Welcome to Shared Value Solutions' biweekly funding and news digest. We hope it finds you well.
We did it again! Along with a round-up of new funding opportunities, this week we are pleased to announce the release of another new eBook. This free eBook explores best practices for orphan oil and gas well rehabilitation on reserve lands and Traditional Territories.
