APEBC Webinar: The Economic (and Reconciliation) Impact of Canadian Energy Projects (followed by the APEBC AGM)

With Canada confronting mounting domestic economic challenges and growing uncertainty in its relationship with its largest trading partner, there is an urgent need to drive growth at home while expanding and diversifying global trade. Canada’s vast natural resource wealth offers a powerful lever for economic diversification but unlocking that potential will require bold commitments from government, industry, and Indigenous partners.

Hear from Karen Ogen, CEO of First Nations Natural Gas Alliance, as she speaks to recent successes in LNG, how these projects represent a model for deepening reconciliation, and where the potential of this industry and First Nations participation lies.

Please note that the keynote speaker will be presenting from 10:00-11:00 am PT. The Annual General Meeting will follow, and this portion of the event is open to APEBC members only.
