The unexpected has occurred. With the substantial drop in the
price of oil and the end of the Progressive Conservative Party
of Alberta’s 44 year reign, the environment in Alberta has been
significantly altered. Alongside this, it has just been a year since
the landmark Tsilhqot’in Decision in British Columbia and the
implementation of the Northwest Territory’s Devolution Agreement.
It is easy to see that our country is constantly changing,
however if we are to keep our heads afloat, we must adapt.
Building on the success of past programs, this year’s Aboriginal
Oil & Gas Forum will focus on the strategies we can adopt to
ensure we do just that. This intimate forum has been designed
to find new means to ensure Canada’s First People’s interests
are reflected in the policy and legal aspects of this industry,
while creating new means for collaboration and business
creation. Attendees will leave with an insightful and practical
look at the key changes that are unfolding, and also how
different groups are adapting to these difficult times.
This is a unique opportunity to meet representatives from the
Aboriginal community, oil and gas industry, government, and
other key stakeholders to discuss practical steps on how to
outlast this cyclical downswing. We are sure you will not want
to miss this valuable opportunity to exchange practical and
strategic insights, create meaningful relationships, and learn
from the best.
