EarthFirst Canada Inc. ("EarthFirst") (TSX: EF, EF.WT) is pleased that BC Hydro yesterday announced the terms of its Clean Power Call. EarthFirst anticipates submitting bids into the BC Clean Power Call in respect of its two fully permitted Peace Region wind energy projects; the Dokie Expansion of up to 156 MW and the Wartenbe project of up to 70.5 MW. The Dokie Expansion and Wartenbe projects received Environmental Assessment Certificates from the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Office in August and October 2006 respectively, and have also been issued Licence of Occupation tenures to the project Crown land by the Government of British Columbia.

In addition to the fully permitted Dokie Expansion and Wartenbe projects, the corporation is evaluating potentially submitting other wind energy projects from its BC pipeline into the Clean Power Call as BC Hydro has indicated it will consider proposals of potential longer lead time projects with commercial operation dates as far out as 2016.

According to the schedule released by BC Hydro, proposals are to be submitted by November 25, 2008, with Electricity Purchase Agreements to be awarded mid-April through June, 2009.

EarthFirst is a leading Canadian developer of wind energy projects with a portfolio of over 2,500 MW of potential renewable generating capacity. This includes the Company’s 144 MW Dokie I project in British Columbia which has commenced construction and is due to be completed in 2009. Common Shares and Warrants of EarthFirst Canada Inc. are listed on the TSX under the symbols EF and EF.WT, respectively.
