Partners in Energy: Canada & the US ⛽🤝 #Canada and the #UnitedStates have a rich history of #trade, starting with the Reciprocity Treaty (1854-1866), which opened the door for free trade in agriculture, raw materials, and manufactured goods. Energy has always been at the heart of this relationship, evolving through geopolitical shifts, economic changes, and technological advancements.

Canada, with its robust infrastructure and resources, is perfectly positioned to help fill this gap. From oil to #NaturalGas, energy has been – and will continue to be – a cornerstone of the US-Canada economic partnership. For over a century, through energy crises and technological breakthroughs, this collaboration has thrived. And it’s clear: the future of energy trade will remain a vital pillar of our bilateral relationship. #EnergyTrade #OilAndGas #CanadaUS #EconomicPartnership #Sustainability #EnergyFuture

2024 was lightning in a bottle for WPC Energy Canada as we hosted or co-planned several important events from #Bahrain to #WashingtonDC to #Calgary.   In October we celebrated the official launch of #Women10x in Washington D.C. In November, our newly appointed Director General, Burcu Canci Gunal, spoke at the LEWAS - Leadership Excellence for Women Awards & Symposium, which took place in Bahrain, where she further underscored the importance of Women10x and #DEI.   Back home in Calgary, #Canada, we hosted a panel discussion featuring the Right Honourable Stephen J. #Harper who shared his thoughts on a post #US #Election and what impact the incoming administration might have on Canada’s #energy sector. At the end of November, our #FutureLeaders hosted a rousing #IgniteTalks panel discussion on Exploring Major #Energy #Infrastructure Projects to an almost sold-out crowd. As we look towards 2025, we are thrilled at the possibilities supporting our mission to be a trusted and inclusive source for people and organizations to gain a realistic understanding of what is required for an effective #energytransformation. We will continue to provide a platform for informed discussions and inclusive, constructive debate based on verifiable facts and data. None of this would be possible without our volunteers, members, sponsors, and the thought leaders who continue to inspire and inform everything we do. A huge thank you to you all!

Our #FutureLeaders ignited the conversation on #November 27 with a panel of #Thoughtleaders at #IgniteTalks. The group discussed Major #Energy #Infrastructure Projects, bringing their expertise to the conversation.   We were honoured to hear from them all: ⚡Lorraine Royer emphasized the importance of transparency, stakeholder and community engagement, to sustainable relationships and the development of Inter Pipeline’s Heartland Petrochemical Complex during the height of the pandemic with a specialized workforce. ⚡Jason Balasch covered the economic benefits associated with the completion of Trans Mountain Expansion Project and the importance of market access. ⚡Chris Prokop highlighted Alta Gas’ Ridley Island Energy Export Facility and their partnership with Vopak to get Canadian LPG to Asian markets along with the complexities of maritime law. ⚡Lauren Savoie, P.Eng, PMP spoke on the importance of collaboration and partnerships to advance technology and reduce emissions.   A huge thank you to Cenovus Energy for sponsoring the event and offering a venue to ensure the night was a resounding success.   To our #volunteers and Visionary Catering , you were essential in helping it all come together.   What panels would you like to hear from in 2025?

Back in #October, our WPC Energy Canada Chair Dean Tucker, Vice Chair Lauren Savoie, P.Eng, PMP, Director, VP and Chair of our Congress Program Committee James McFarland, Board Member HeidiLynne Balasch, and #FutureLeaders Board Member and #YoungProfessionals Committee Chair Shamus Hardie, were in #WashingtonDC for the 2024 WPC Energy Council Meeting hosted by the U.S. National Committee and API - American Petroleum Institute. Alongside the WPC Energy Annual Council Meeting, the Executive Committee, Congress Programme Committee, and Young Professionals Committee also held their meetings, taking the opportunity to meet face-to-face with #colleagues from around the #globe. The event also served as the kick-off of WPC Energy’s #Women10x which included a welcome from WPC Energy President Pedro Miras Salamanca, followed by a case for change. Attendees heard presentations from Emerson, a forerunner of Women10x companies, followed by a video from JAPEX which shared experiences, aspirations, and heartfelt messages of those involved in Women10x, along with the tangible benefits of #genderequality and #inclusion. This remarkable event set in motion WPC Energy’s dedication to shaping the future of #energy. iSAW international LEWAS - Leadership Excellence for Women Awards & Symposium Nancy Speidel, Martin C Elliot, Sarah Beattie, Reem Al-Ghanim, Momoyo Yuki Andi Blaylock LCSW, CEAP, SAP, Liam Hurley, Joyce Aiko McCulloch, Dean Tucker, Ivan Marten, Burcu Canci Gunal
