Bridging Divides: In Search of Sound Public Policies for Energy and Environment in Canada

Wednesday, June 6, 2018 08:00to12:15
Fairmont Palliser Hotel, 133 9th Ave SW, Calgary, AB, T2P 2M3, CA
Price: 
85$

No topics in Canada are hotter today than new pipelines, carbon pricing, and energy development. There are legitimate policy debates to be had on all of these issues, but opinions seem to be getting more polarized, often lacking all perspectives.

Join the Max Bell School of Public Policy, University of Calgary's School of Public Policy, and Canada's Ecofiscal Commission for a pan-Canadian conversation focusing on good policy, solid economics, and concrete evidence featuring a keynote address by David Dodge, followed by two panel discussions. The first panel will focus on public policies that work for the economy and the environment, and the second will address good public policies for Canada as a whole. 

It’s time to have a better conversation around the policy table. If you have a point of view on energy and the environment, this is a must-attend event.
