Resource Works

A great start to the day here at the Resource Works offices where Stewart Muir, members of the Canadian Carbon Solutions Coalition, and other brilliant guests are talking carbon solutions for today and the future. Never a dull moment during UBCM week! #energytransition

"Canada has a persistent productivity problem that will require some savvy solutions...Canadian business leaders think they have part of the answer: lean into the country’s prolific natural resources industries, from agriculture and forestry to mining, oil and natural gas." We heartily agree at Resource Works! From Chris Varcoe in the Financial Post. #Canada #naturalresources

British Columbia is ready to become one of the world's leaders in mining and critical minerals! Seventeen proposed critical mineral mines in B.C. could generate $36 billion in near-term investment, $80 billion in economic output, $23 billion in labour income, and $11 billion in tax revenues, according to a recent study. Over their lifetimes, these mines could contribute nearly $800 billion. From BIV News. https://lnkd.in/ghyATJt3. #criticalminerals #mining

Canada must decide if it wants to be a committed oil and gas exporting country, because the rest of the world is not waiting. Clarity, clear goals, and cooperation are essential to give investors the confidence they need to engage with our energy industry! #oilandgas #LNG https://lnkd.in/gQ4pq86H

As business leaders sound the alarm about the state of British Columbia's economy, we urge that natural resources be made front and centre in any plan that sets up our province for a comeback. To be hewers of wood and drawers of water is nothing to be ashamed of. #naturalresources #economy. https://lnkd.in/geznKBTQ

Resource Works takes a look at yet another bad few weeks for BC forestry. We can only hope things get better for forestry communities as international disputes land blow after blow to the industry. #forestry #britishcolumbia https://lnkd.in/gGhZjEsf

Resource Works' Margareta Dovgal is urging people to move beyond outdated fears about nuclear energy and consider it as a viable option. B.C. is doubling down on hydroelectricity at our own peril, as declining snowpacks and summer droughts threaten our power supply. We must diversify our energy grid without further hesitation. #nuclear #energytransition

B.C.'s mineral exploration sector faces uncertainty as MTA reforms progress. The AME - Association for Mineral Exploration has proposed equitable consultations to protect mineral exploration, attract investment, and respect Indigenous rights. #CriticalMinerals #BC https://lnkd.in/gPghVqWR

"In the halls of UBCM, forestry may not grab the headlines the way climate change or housing policy does, but for many communities, it’s a matter of survival." Resource Works founder and CEO Stewart Muir in our latest. #forestry #britishcolumbia https://lnkd.in/gsX_F3_d

We can't afford to be overly reliant on the carbon tax for a greener future. Achieving an emissions-free future requires creativity and openness to new, innovative solutions! #carbontax #climate
