We heard about the value of participation from the people who live it on a daily basis and who have experienced benefits - personally, corporately and from a governmental perspective - as a result of being involved in synergy groups. With informational updates on current programs affecting the province, inspiring presentations from youth and training workshops on communication, indigenous
engagement, and climate conversation, there was something for everyone.
Wrapping up the conference, the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers brought perspective to
the current social and political environment that Canada's oil & gas industry is working in and the need
to improve our country's ability to access markets while continuing to meet the high safety and
environmental standards we have in Canada.
Finally, a big thank you again to everyone who helped to make the 2018 Synergy Conference a success-
our funders, sponsors, speakers, MC, facilitators, volunteers and of course all of our conference delegates who share, network, listen, learn and provide comment and perspective. It is the active participation of those attending that truly demonstrates the value in having our annual conference.
Thank you again and we look forward to seeing you next year!
This booklet was created with input from the Land Matters Group’s Subcommittee on Landowner Guidance (Subcommittee). The Subcommittee was officially struck in January 2016 and included landowners, community and industry representatives. They provided direction for this document, as well as recommendations for future resources for landowners.
