Canadian Energy just got a boost of rocket fuel, or at least it should have.  Iran, Venezuela, tariffs…all signals are pointing to a Full Throttle expansion of the Canadian barrel as a geopolitically stable, responsibly produced energy source in a world that is highly dependent on exactly what we have to offer.

Thank you to everyone who attended our Women in Energy luncheon. We look forward to welcoming you again next year.

Our Women in Energy luncheon featured a panel of heavy hitting female leaders discussing what it will take to ignite our energy growth story, and how we can get all Canadians excited about the opportunity. The event included a panel discussion moderated by Tracey Bodnarchuk, President & CEO of Canada Powered by Women (“CPW”).
