Economist Philip Cross and an expert panel will deliver valuable insights at this Vancouver lunchtime event.
Many people are asking what the $40 billion LNG Canada investment in British Columbia liquefied natural gas means for the economy. As the largest single private-sector project in Canadian history, there is no doubt that LNG Canada will create a big impact over a long period of time.

But how exactly will those impacts show up? How can others be part of an economic success story? And how will LNG and decarbonization fit together in the economy, allowing for climate aspirations to be realized?
To get at the answers, Resource Works is bringing together authoritative voices on energy economics and LNG to share their knowledge on the subject. And we will examine the path to economic growth that supports local climate policy in a global context.
Please join us for lunch on November 14 in Vancouver to be among the first to discover the answers.
