Extractive Resource Governance Program

Canada’s extractive industries are mature and Canada is one of the best regulated producers of energy and mining products in the world. That’s because we have learned, and applied the lessons of decades of development of our extractive industries. Now, Canada is in a unique position to offer that expertise to the world. Around the world, countries at various stages of development understand that the extractive industries can mean transformative economic growth. But the success of those sectors relies on good governance, fair taxes and royalty systems, corporate social responsibility, regulatory predictability, and solid public engagement and community consultation. Based out of The School of Public Policy at the University of Calgary – in the heart of Canada’s oil and gas sector – the Extractive Resource Governance Program has brought together Canada’s leading experts in: • Regulation of oil and gas • Public engagement and community consultation • Fiscal governance of oil and gas • Energy reform implementation • Developing a natural resource development framework • Unconventional resource management and revenue streams • Local benefits and social licence The experts have created a focused, intensive and flexible program to quickly educate international officials charged with developing your resource sectors. Our programs are flexible, and based around your needs and timelines. And yes, we can come to you.
