April 7, 2026

Calgary Petroleum Club
Hosted by:
Can Canada reconcile its ambition to become an energy superpower with its climate and sustainability goals without sacrificing competitiveness? Join us on April 7, as we examine whether Canada can successfully negotiate a credible “grand bargain” between economic development and decarbonization. We are joined by two expert panelists with experience in Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues, corporate strategy and investment decision making from KPMG and RBC who will examine Canada’s prospects and trade-offs. During this breakfast discussion, our panelists will assess whether sustainability enhances access to capital, lowers regulatory risk, and strengthens social license or instead compresses margins in a world of volatile commodity prices and an uncertain future. Date: April 7, 2026 Location: The Calgary Petroleum Club Breakfast: 7:00 a.m. Main Programming: 7:30 a.m. - 9:00 a.m.
