Natural Advantage: Unleashing Canada’s Resources for Economic Growth

Join us for a special luncheon with the Honourable Tim Hodgson, Canada’s new Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, in his first major address in Ontario and to the Toronto business community since being appointed to this critical portfolio.

Canada’s energy and natural resource sectors are poised to play a central role in delivering on the federal government’s bold new agenda: “the biggest transformation of our economy since the end of the Second World War”.

Minister Hodgson will outline his vision for meeting the goals outlined in the mandate letter from Prime Minister Carney, including creating the conditions for Canada “to become an energy superpower in both clean and conventional energies” and “expediting nation-building projects that will connect and transform our country.”

This will require unlocking Canada’s vast resource wealth potential – from energy and minerals to forestry and critical supply chains. Guests will also hear how resource development can help Canada become the leading economy of the G7.

Following his keynote remarks, Minister Hodgson will sit down for a fireside chat with Toronto Region Board of Trade President & CEO Giles Gherson.

This event is a must-attend for leaders across sectors from energy, mining and finance to construction, infrastructure, and innovation. Space is limited, so don’t miss out on the chance to hear directly about the future of these critical sectors in Canada.
