Congratulations to the Rotary Club of Mohkinstsis Urban Indigenous on becoming the first Indigenous Rotary Club in the world.

At the Charter Night Celebration, speakers shared powerful perspectives on our shared humanity and the importance of working collaboratively with communities. These conversations reflected a commitment to partnership, understanding, and meaningful action.

Through connecting people, fostering dialogue, and creating partnerships that address community needs while generating benefits for Indigenous communities, local organizations, and Calgary as a whole, the Rotary Club of Mohkinstsis Urban Indigenous demonstrates what Creating Shared Value looks like in action.

For us, partnerships with Indigenous communities are central to our Creating Shared Value approach, helping us build stronger relationships and more sustainable projects in the communities where we operate.

We are proud to be an inaugural partner of the Rotary Club of Mohkinstsis Urban Indigenous and honoured to have celebrated this historic milestone alongside friends and community leaders.

Chris Hadfield spent an hour telling a room of Alberta energy workers how he turned himself into an astronaut.

Every astronaut he pointed to, including two who grew up in Alberta, started as someone who saw the work up close and decided to become the person who could do it. None of them were born that way.

That is the workforce challenge facing this province right now.

Alberta needs tens of thousands of energy workers over the next decade. The bigger challenge is that most people's picture of the job is a decade out of date. Interest is already climbing. Apprenticeship registrations across Canada hit a record 101,541 in 2024, driven partly by Alberta pipefitters, steamfitters, and electricians, according to Statistics Canada.

And when students see the modern industry up close, it shows. A 2025 survey found more than 80% were more interested in an energy career after a course on how it operates.

That gap is where shared value sits. The industry needs the people, and the region needs the kind of careers that keep people close to home. Closing the distance between what the job is and what people think it is answers both at once.

Our latest Rooted story follows the keynote from Chris Hadfield, Premier Danielle Smith's mainstage conversation with Deloitte at the Global Energy Show Canada, and commentary from Jim Parsons of Spartan Controls and Brooklyn Clarke of CSV, all pointing to the same conclusion: Alberta's energy build is this generation's moonshot, and it is wide open to anyone bold enough to reach for it.

We are proud to share that our President and CEO Daniel Clarke and EVP & Chief Operating Officer Christopher Dutcher, P.Eng., MBA have been named EY Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2026 Prairies finalists.

The EY Entrepreneur Of The Year program shines a spotlight on entrepreneurs across Canada who master the balance of passion, determination, character, and skill to create businesses that address the most complex challenges and build a better working world.

Finalists were selected by an independent panel of judges based on entrepreneurial spirit, leadership, purpose, growth, and impact, and winners will be announced in October.

The recognition means a lot, and we're grateful for the opportunity it gives us to talk about Creating Shared Value, a way of doing business that treats company performance and community outcomes as connected rather than competing. It's an approach any entrepreneur can adopt to measure and recognize the impact they and their teams are making.

Congratulations on being Prairies finalists, Daniel and Christopher!

"How many of you know who I am as a person? And where I come from under our modern treaty agreements?"

It's a question Andrew Robinson, CEO of the Nisga'a Lisims Government, asks when a company walks in to pitch itself as a partner on Ksi Lisims LNG. Most of the companies arriving know the project. Far fewer know the Nation they're pitching to, what it has built under a modern treaty, or what being a real partner would involve.

Robinson isn't the only Indigenous leader being approached like this. Canada is in the middle of the largest energy and infrastructure build-out in a generation, and in every case, Indigenous Nations are at the centre of the table. Building relationships by showing up before there’s a deal on the table, listening to what communities need, and following through is required, and it's how CSV has approached its work with Indigenous communities near its facilities in Alberta.

At the Global Energy Show in Calgary, Robinson, Chana Martineau of the Alberta Indigenous Opportunities Corporation, Karen Restoule of the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, Chief Valerie Askoty of Prophet River First Nation, and Maureen Nyce of the Haisla Nation, whose Cedar LNG project is the world's first majority Indigenous-owned LNG facility, described what real partnership will need to look like on the projects that come next, and what most companies still get wrong before they even sit down.

Canada Day is a good time to talk about what this country has: one of the strongest industrial hands in the world.

The world’s second-largest natural gas reserves. Electricity costs for businesses roughly 30% lower than in the U.S., on par with China. Trade agreements covering most of the global economy.

Not a bad hand to hold.

For years, policy made those advantages hard to use. That's changing. Canada now has a real window to reindustrialize: to process more of what we pull out of the ground at home, using the cheapest industrial energy in the developed world, and keep the value-add here.

For the energy sector, that means natural gas powering Canadian factories instead of leaving as a raw input, more condensate processed domestically rather than importing roughly 260,000 barrels a day from the U.S., and sulphur from natural gas processing going into domestic fertilizer and critical mineral supply chains.

The first wave of major projects is moving toward final investment decisions. The infrastructure and the resources are here, and the window is open.

CSV is part of that story. Albright came online last year, and our network of facilities across the Peace Country is processing the gas that helps power this opportunity. Gold Creek, our next major facility south of Grande Prairie, will process natural gas and recover sulphur for domestic supply chains.

We're proud to be building here and Creating Shared Value in the communities where we operate.

A generation ago, midstream in northwestern Alberta was a different business. A competitor's problem stayed a competitor's problem. Companies competed in isolation, and when one plant went down, the others kept running and that was the end of it.

That world has changed, and operators now share infrastructure, sign decades-long commitments, and in many cases they treat one another's problems as their own.

We get asked a lot about how the Montney and midstream got here, so we did a deep dive on how projects in northwestern Alberta now get built for the long haul.
