RFG2018
Resources for Future Generations 2018 (RFG2018) is taking place in June. You will likely recognize the names of many of our colleagues and the sector's thought-leaders getting behind this event, and for good reason. As the premier event aiming to bring us all together to tackle issues around the sustainable use, extraction and management of earth's resources, this discussion couldn't come at a more critical time.
RFG2018 really is for all of us. As a multi-stakeholder event, each individual will be part of a larger puzzle in addressing our age's greatest challenges. It is a ground-breaking, collaborative, innovative, international conference that is "made-in Canada." We sincerely hope to see you in attendance and contributing your knowledge, experience, and perspective on these issues.
