Our Energy Future: What does it look like, and what will it take to get there?

Canada has committed to achieving the goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Industry and governments have begun to act in an effort to achieve this lofty goal through an energy transition., However, this will only be achieved if all citizens are positioned to contribute and if Reconciliation goals are advanced to enable timely development and capacity building.

While research from Ipsos shows that 73% of Canadians believe that we must change our ways to avoid an environmental disaster, less than half understand how we will achieve our climate goals. One thing is clear – we won’t achieve net zero without the full participation of all citizens.

Join Canadian Club Toronto on June 8 for a discussion on the future of energy in Canada and where we are headed in the next five, 10, 20 years and beyond – what is working, what isn’t working, and most importantly, what it will take to get to net zero.

Our expert panel of leaders will explore how the public and private sector are moving to support a global energy transition and what this shift in the energy system means for Canada, including the evolving role of the oil and gas sector, the latest on renewable innovations, how Indigenous communities are leading the transition to net zero, and the enabling role of Canadians citizens. This conversation will be moderated by Karen Restoule, Vice President at Crestview Strategy, and will feature:

Cherie Brant – Partner and National Leader, Indigenous Law, Borden Ladner Gervais LLP

Dave Forestell – Vice President, Canada External Relations, TC Energy

Gregory Jack – Vice President, Strategic Communication and Research, Loyalist Public Affairs

Chris Sankey – Principal, Blackfish Enterprises Ltd.
