The Meaning and Artwork Behind "Yəyus Energy"

In fall 2025, the "Brewster Wind Project" was officially renamed Yəyus Energy. The name reflects the meaning "Always Windy” in Liq'wala, the traditional dialect of the Ligʷiłdaxʷ peoples, of which Wei Wai Kum is a part. A logo design competition was launched in April 2025, inviting local artists from the community to participate. James Kwaksistala’s incredible design was selected by Wei Wai Kum Chief and Council and project has been rebranded with his artwork as the cornerstone.
