CAPPA CPD Luncheon: 

Energy East Pipeline Project

September 21, 2016
11:30 am – 1:00 pm
Venue: University of Calgary, Downtown Campus, 906 – 8th Ave. SW, Calgary

Check lobby screen for event room number.

At this time, we have moved our CPD Luncheons to the U of C downtown campus at the corner of 8th St SW and 8th Ave SW.   With the current economic environment and corresponding lower member attendance we have needed to secure a more cost efficient venue.  The U of C downtown campus has very nice luncheon meeting space and catering allowing us to avoid increasing participant fees.  The location is also just steps away from the LRT stations.  Join us for great presentations, an opportunity to connect with colleagues and a superb meal.

Presentation Description:

Energy East Pipeline Project – The Energy East project is a 4,500 km pipeline that will transport, safely, about 1.1 million barrels of oil per day from Alberta and Saskatchewan to the refineries of Eastern Canada and a marine terminal in New Brunswick.

Attend this luncheon to learn more about the project, the regulatory process and the latest updates as well as a discussion on the benefits to Canadians and the importance of getting our energy to tidewater.
