Energy Forum 2018
Against the backdrop of global energy and geopolitical uncertainty, confidence in Canada received an enormous boost in early October with the positive final investment decision by LNG Canada for its project in Kitimat, B.C.
Canada's energy industry is world-leading, makes significant contributions to our national economy, and deploys cutting-edge transferable technologies.
Energy Forum 2018 will bring together a diverse intersection of industry representatives, policy-makers, and the broader business community for an inclusive dialogue on Canadian energy development and its role in supporting a robust, competitive, and sustainable economy in Western Canada.
