Navigating Canada’s Trade Future Together
Canada’s place in the global marketplace is shifting. New trade negotiations, evolving sustainability expectations, and infrastructure challenges are reshaping how our resource industries connect to the world.
The 2025 Resource Futures Forum will bring together leaders from industry, government, Indigenous communities, and law to explore how Canada can remain competitive amid these new global trade realities.
This one-day event, hosted in Calgary’s vibrant downtown, is a unique opportunity to connect with decision-makers, examine the trade-offs shaping policy, and chart the pathways to ensure Canada’s resources reach new and growing markets.
