WPC Webinar | Build Big Things: Accelerating Canada’s Energy Future

Canada faces a pivotal moment. After years of moving in the “slow lane,” we must now accelerate the build-out of major energy, critical minerals, and infrastructure projects. The Public Policy Forum’s Build Big Things study, released this spring, offers a playbook for how to make that shift.

Jay Khosla, Executive Director of Economic and Energy Policy at the Public Policy Forum and lead author of Build Big Things, will share key insights from the study and outline how Canada can unlock investment and streamline approvals to drive its clean energy transition and long-term competitiveness.

In conversation with Lorena Patterson, President & CEO of WaterPower Canada, Jay will also examine how to balance speed with environmental sustainability, Indigenous rights, and inclusive growth, and the role hydropower and other major infrastructure can play in moving Canada from incremental progress to transformative action.

Join us for an engaging session connecting the findings of Build Big Things with the urgent priorities of Canada’s clean energy future.

Lorena Patterson, President & CEO, WaterPower Canada
