SPP Forum: Canada’s New Major Projects – A Crash Course with Robert ‘RJ’ Johnston
12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m. MT
Calgary, AB
Join us for a special School of Public Policy Forum event with Dr. Robert ‘RJ’ Johnston to discuss Canada’s New Major Projects – A Crash Course.
From large-scale electricity infrastructure and critical-minerals ventures to oil and gas pipelines and mega-projects, Dr. Johnston will walk through what’s to be built, how we pay for it, and why it matters to our politics and national economy today.
Forum is a weekly interdisciplinary discussion hosted by the School of Public Policy, that combines intellectual exploration, issue discussions and the exchange of ideas. Each week, graduate students, faculty, alumni, and leaders from across sectors come together over a lunch hour to engage with the ideas and challenges shaping our world.
From climate change and governance to innovation, security and global development, the School of Public Policy Forum connects you to the people and dynamics shaping change locally and globally.
We invite you to be part of the dialogue.
