Primary Risk

We had the privilege of hosting Brian Kynoch, President of Imperial Metals Corporation, on the latest episode of the Primary Risk podcast.

Brian's storied career has defined a legacy in mining, not just for his impact on the industry, but for his commitment to making British Columbia a better place. Our conversation tackled the pressing realities of the mining industry today, his vision for BC’s resource sector, and the groundbreaking mine agreements Imperial Metals established with First Nations—a first in Canada's operating history.

For those navigating the future of mining, this episode is a must-listen, as Brian shares insights that highlight both the challenges and transformative opportunities shaping the mining sector.

Episode 4 of Primary Risk features Bill Lomax, President and CEO of First Nations Bank of Canada; exploring behind the scenes of his time on Wall Street, the challenges First Nations face in major project development, and the primary risks of major project investment in Canada.

Episode 3 of Primary Risk features Susannah Pierce, President of Shell Canada, Country Chair, and Vice President, Emerging Energy Solutions.  

Together with Byng Giraud, President of Sedgwick Strategies, and Allie Meeres, Executive Vice President and Partner of Sedgwick Strategies, we delved into Susannah Pierce’s early career and her path to Shell Canada, insights into Canadian LNG’s past and future, and how the people behind critical projects are navigating soft issue risks. 

In today’s complex environment, almost every major project from mining to transmission lines is contentious. On Primary Risk we speak with the people behind these projects shaping our world, exploring the soft issue risks, solutions, and behind-the-scenes stories of what it took these projects across the finish line or not.

Join co-hosts Byng Giraud, President of Sedgwick Strategies, and Allie Meeres, Executive Vice President & Partner at Sedgwick Strategies, as they delve into Christy Clark's political journey, the strategies needed to boost foreign direct investment in BC, and her significant work on major projects during her tenure.
