2018 Synergy Conference

Mark your calendars! The 2018 Synergy Conference has been set or November 5th & 6th. We are still finalizing the location and will be providing more information on that and other conference features as they become finalized.

The theme for this year's conference is "Navigating a New Normal". With changes in technologies, changes in regulatory approaches and changes in the economic and social environment, normal is not what it was just a few short years ago.

We are working on a number of topics related to industry, regulatory and community issues and opportunities. We will also be continuing our tradition of celebrating each others' successes with our "Ten Talks" and our awards program, and will continue to incorporate lots of opportunity for networking and sharing with each other.

Stay tuned...

2017 Synergy Conference

The 2017 Synergy Conference has come and gone, and we would like to take a moment to thank everyone who contributed to it being such a successful event.

Thank you to our funders and sponsors, whose support helps to keep the event affordable; to our speakers for sharing their passion for synergy and their topics; to our Conference Advisory Committee for all the great input and suggestions.

A big thank you also goes out to the facilitators and the volunteers for keeping everything on schedule and running smoothly, and to everyone who worked so hard behind the scenes with registrations and the multitude of details that go into delivering a successful event. Of course we also want to thank all the delegates that took the time to attend and to actively participate.

Most of all, thank you to all of you who invest your time and resources to further the principles of synergy across our province. It takes courage and effort to push past our old models of doing things and extend ourselves to deal with issues and differences in a synergistic manner, allowing everyone a place at the table. We believe that synergy is making a difference in our communities, our governments, and Alberta’s industries and that with respect for one another’s uniqueness’ we are better able to find our commonalities.

Thanks for celebrating, sharing, and contributing to synergy! We look forward to seeing you all again next year.

Land Owners Guide

The Landowners' Guide to Land Agreements has officially been launched and is available online.

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.
