BC Natural Resources - Purpose, Partnerships, and Prosperity
As we come together to explore the theme "BC Natural Resources – Purpose, Partnerships, and Prosperity", we celebrate the interconnectedness of these key elements and their collective contribution to positive economic and social impact in the province and globally. We will showcase the role of BC’s natural resources in the global value chain and how local initiatives are shaping international standards and practices. Through dialogue, knowledge sharing, and collaboration, the 22nd Annual BC Natural Resources Forum will delve into the opportunities created by purpose-driven initiatives, the power of meaningful partnerships both locally and internationally, and the pathways to shared prosperity in British Columbia's natural resource sectors.
