Explore innovative solutions to transportation, logistics and labour
challenges of mining and energy companies in Canada’s North.
Canada’s northern frontier is awash with mineral resources and oil and gas
reserves, but the tough climate, high costs, remote landscape and limited ports,
roads and highways can influence your operation’s efficiency. As the international
spotlight brightens on these territories, the CI Energy Group’s Forum on Arctic
Logistics and Infrastructure will offer essential guidance and informative case
studies about how to carry out your project under difficult conditions, control
spending and find reliable staff and partners.
Embark on your mining or energy project equipped with a solid understanding of:
• Progress on road and bridge construction in the Northwest Territories
which will improve the logistics capabilities of mining and oil and gas
companies
• Current discussions to boost infrastructure in the Arctic: Unique ideas
and next steps
• The impact of strong alliances with Aboriginal organizations and
responsible suppliers on the development of a prosperous, competitive
business
• Careful budgeting and planning techniques needed to roll out a top-
notch logistics program and key strategies to recruit and train top talent
• The tools to monitor and deliver freight shipments and communicate
with key staff anywhere
• Leading-edge transportation solutions for the North
Stay informed of major efforts and proposals to lay the groundwork for Northern
development and to network with key contacts managing Arctic logistics and
transportation issues. Register today by calling 1-877-927-7936 or book online at
