Reshaping Energy 2017: Opportunities and Impacts of Reducing Canadian GHG Emissions
April 11-12, 2017 | Ottawa, ON

Alberta has announced a broadly based carbon tax as well as an action plan to reduce emissions from both electricity production and oil and gas production. British Columbia and Alberta already have carbon levies, and Ontario and Quebec are proceeding with cap and trade. With a federal price on carbon and additional actions and targets at the provincial level, the momentum for a lower carbon future will continue to build. Progress is accelerating and action plans proliferating. More Information

Go to http://geoenviropro.com/events/risk-solutions/ for submissions (platform and poster) for low risk sites (Protocol 6 reviews) and high risk sites (to secure instruments, under Orders, for due diligence/liability reduction, etc.). Get the word out about your novel solutions and technical advancements in RA/RM. Come and learn about how RA/RM of contamination results in meeting regulatory requirements. Whether you are a site owner, project manager, regulator or service provider – there will be content for you, as well as opportunities to mingle. Registration
