PRINCE GEORGE — Crews are busy getting the Conference and Civic Centre ready for the 15th annual Natural Resources forum. It gets underway tomorrow evening, with federal Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr giving the keynote address at a dinner.
Other notable speakers include Premier John Horgan on Wednesday and MLA Ellis Ross on Thursday.
More than any other part forum, this has a much more national feel to it.
“We’ve gone national,” says Keven Brown, one of the event’s organizers. “We have more nationally-affiliated speakers than ever before.”
That includes Minister Carr, the Chief of the Assembly of First Nations, Perry Bellegarde, CEO of the Conference Board of Canada Dr. Daniel Muzyka, and the President and CEO of the World Wildlife Fund, Megan Leslie.
There are panels on Forestry, technology and innovation, international trade, minerals and mining and oil and gas.
