Challenge 2021 REDEVELOP Challenge 2021 VIRTUAL CONFERENCE SCHEDULE May 10-12, 2021 Training Canada’s future leaders in low-carbon energy … . … because Canada’s energy sector is changing. REDEVELOP.CA 2 Training across disciplines, distance and cultures. We Acknowledge the traditional territories of the people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta, which includes: the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina, and the Stoney Nakoda First Nations, including: the Chiniki, the Bearspaw, and the Wesley First Nations.

Chief Jim Boucher *Not intended for public distribution or for citation* 4th Annual REDEVELOP Challenge ∙ May 10 - 12, 2021 3 Welcome On behalf of our interdisciplinary team from the Universities of Calgary, Alberta, Toronto, Waterloo, and Western Ontario, I am pleased to welcome you to our 4th annual REDEVELOP Challenge. This is our 2nd conference using a virtual platform in this time of change in the energy-sector and during a global pandemic. REDEVELOP brings people together to work across disciplines, distance and cultures. Our collaborators from industry, government and Indigenous communities may have noticed that we rebranded last year, from a focus on the responsible development of low-permeability hydrocarbon resources to that of low-carbon energy resources; an adaptation to change. This week, you will hear from four innovative, multi-university teams of graduate students who will ask you to consider how this next generation of science, engineering and policy leaders will think about energy. Since 2017, we have trained 83 students at the graduate and undergraduate levels. REDEVELOP training is based on effective communication and holistic problem-solving using a range of tools. Communication can take many forms. This week, 20 graduate students will demonstrate their ability to deliver scientific and socio-economic facts, as well as cultural and political views, to a range of audiences. They will do this effectively using verbal, written, pictorial and animated platforms. In order to achieve these skillsets, they have undergone not only technical training, but also industrial- organization psychology and Indigenous relations and engagement. To date, 30 REDEVELOP grads have completed their academic programs and are working in their chosen field in Canada and around the world. Four have gone on to doctoral studies. Fifty have completed internships and more than 50 have published peer-reviewed journal articles. The significance of internships can be hands-on experience and jobs after graduation, while publications are the path to sharing knowledge and changing the world. I would like to express our sincere thanks to the many industry and government collaborators and Indigenous elders who showed outstanding support and patience in their mentorship of this year's teams.

  • Canada's Oil Sands and Local First Nations
    Canada’s oil sands and local First Nations: A snapshot Canada’s oil sands and local First Nations: A snapshot “Fort McKay is now a thriving modern community with all the amenities and infrastructure in place to run a modern community due to oil sands development.” – Jim Boucher, Former Chief, Fort McKay First Nation A CEC Research Brief Mark Milke and Lennie Kaplan | March 2020 - 1 - Canada’s oil sands and local First Nations: A snapshot About the Canadian Energy Centre The Canadian Energy Centre’s mandate is to promote Canada as the supplier of choice for the world’s growing demand for responsibly produced energy. It is an independent provincial corporation that is primarily supported by the Government of Alberta’s industry-funded Technology, Innovation and Emissions Reduction (TIER) fund. CEC Research Briefs: A ‘snapshot’ Canadian Energy Centre (CEC) Research Briefs are contextual explanations of data as they relate to Canadian energy. They are statistical ‘snapshots’ and released periodically to provide context on energy issues for investors, policymakers, and the public. The source of profiled data depends on the specific issue, necessary context, and each brief. Sources are given in a manner accessible for a non-academic audience. A note on language and descriptions The data in this Brief are derived from Statistics Canada (2018), Aboriginal Population Profile, 2016 Census. For ease of reference to source data, the term ‘Aboriginal’ is used to correlate with the original Statistics Canada census terms. First Nations is also used to identify both individuals but also communities, i.e., a specific First Nation community such as Fort McKay First Nation.

The Fort McKay First Nation (FMFN) furnishes an important case study of commun- ity capitalism. As a result of its remarkable success, its characteristic features stand out in sharp relief. Its wholly owned and joint-venture business enter- prises generated an annual average of $506 million gross revenue in the five-year period from 2012 to 2016. But FMFN does not just have an impressive business portfolio; it has also succeeded in raising the standard of living of its members, as measured by the Community Well-Being Index. FMFN has achieved prosperity by participating in the economy of the Alberta oil sands, which is important because the best hope for prosperity of many First Nations in remote locations is involvement in nearby resource plays.
