The APGO thanks South East Councillor, Paul Hubley, P.Geo., for hosting a networking event for members in in Ottawa on April 18, 2019. We thank our speakers, Gillian Macleod (Ontario Power Generation) and Wayne Ross (Coral Rapids Power) for demonstrating the power of mutually respectful collaboration between OPG and Taykwa Tagamou Nation (TTN) to realize the development of waterpower project that provides low and clean energy source for electricity. We thank all our attendees for their participation. Describing the event, Paul Hubley said, "Members were treated to a demonstration of a successful partnership between an Indigenous community and OPG. A main takeaway was that our geoscience projects can and should benefit all proponents in a sustainable manner. Participants in the event took part in enthusiastic conversations well into the evening, demonstrating the timeliness and relevance of the topic."
