Workshop seating switch

During the afternoon, we will transition to an interactive workshop facilitated by the Deloitte team. To foster new perspectives and diverse high-level discussions, please be prepared to switch tables for this portion of the day.

You will find your assigned workshop table number on the back of your name badge, which you will collect at the registration desk when you arrive. Mixing tables ensures there is wide-ranging dialogue and a diversity of views shared during the workshop portion of the day. It is also a great opportunity to make new connections.

Policy cards: please read in advance

One focus of the interactive workshop will be three current Canadian policies: the Clean Electricity Act, the Impact Assessment Act and the Industrial Carbon Tax. To make the most of your workshop experience, please take a few minutes in advance to review the background policy cards.

These will help ground conversations and ensure we can move quickly into meaningful dialogue during the session.

The countdown is on

Canada enters this moment with significant opportunity. As one of the world’s most stable and resource-rich energy producers, we have what it takes to support Canadians at home and contribute meaningfully on the global stage. At the same time, challenges around policy clarity and infrastructure mean progress is not always as straightforward as it could be.

That is why this conversation matters now.

If you have any questions ahead of the event, feel free to reach out. We’re excited to have you with us and look forward to a strong and engaging day together.

Warmly,
Canada Powered by Women
