A MESSAGE FROM PREMIER CHRISTY CLARK

Within Reach Spectra Energy’s reach is much broader than the expanse of our facilities.

For over half a century we’ve been reaching out — every day — to connect people with energy and communities with jobs and economic development opportunities. The natural gas we deliver brings us within reach of important goals like economic value, environmental integrity and social responsibility.

We are fortunate to have many respected partners working with us — people like you who share our values and commitments. We’re here to listen, to learn, to share and to move forward, together.

B.C.’s natural gas future is Within Reach.

Connect with us at the Premier’s BC Natural Resource Forum, January 22 & 23, 2014 — Prince George Civic Centre.

WELCOME As the new Member of the Legislative Assembly representing Prince George-Mackenzie, I am very pleased to host the Premier’s BC Natural Resource Forum. Our great province is on the cusp of explosive economic growth providing opportunities never before experienced. All segments of our society and every community now have the opportunity to participate and collaborate with industry and government to provide all of our citizens with jobs, training and individual prosperity.

I invite you to come and join the Premier, myself and our caucus colleagues as we hear from Resource Industry leaders, First Nations leaders and experts talk about the resource sector today and what opportunities lie ahead in the future.

Sincerely, Mike Morris, MLA Prince George - Mackenzie Welcome to the 2014 Natural Resources Forum. Natural resources are the backbone of our economy – in Prince George, across the North, and in every corner of British Columbia. We have a shared challenge and opportunity ahead: more than a million job openings by 2020.

Many of these job openings are being driven by our resource industries that bring “new” dollars into B.C.’s economy.

This means we have to tap into our greatest resource – the people of British Columbia.

I want to thank Premier Christy Clark for taking a lead role at this event and in leading our economy.

And I want to thank my fellow MLA Mike Morris for organizing this important event. Mike and I look forward to being strong voices for Northern British Columbia in Victoria.

Government will continue working to connect as many people as possible with the skills they need so the resource industry can thrive. We will seize the vast opportunities ahead of us!

Shirley Bond Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and Minister Responsible for Labour and MLA for Prince George-Valemont I am pleased to welcome you to the Premier’s BC Natural Resource Forum in Prince George. This forum is dedicated to our resources and our future in British Columbia. As a lifelong resident of the north, I know the amount of potential that exists here, in sectors such as mining, agriculture and energy; and, as Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation, I know the value of building strong partnerships between government, First Nations and business to ensure we can all capitalize on these opportunities. I am sure this year’s forum will generate further great ideas and discussion of how our strong resources can help us build a secure future.

Honourable John Rustad, Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation and MLA Nechako Lakes

It is my sincere pleasure to welcome you to the Premier’s BC Natural Resource Forum. The C3 Alliance Team is pleased and honoured to play a lead role in assisting with the Conference Management. Prince George is poised to become the hub for BC’s future economic success.

Prince George is at the cusp of the most exciting time in its history! Not since the Klondike Gold Rush, over 125 years ago, has the region experienced such strong interest, and unparalleled opportunities. Northern BC has the highest number of planned and proposed resource development projects and potential economic investment activity in North America at the present time.

Over the two days of the Premier’s BC Natural Resource Forum, delegates, sponsors and exhibitors will have the opportunity to hear leading experts from First Nations communities, Governments, the oil & gas, forestry, minerals and mining, natural gas sectors, education and training specialists, and service and supply sectors. The speakers will share their stories of success, introduce innovations in technology, transportation, and explore and highlight new and emerging opportunities in the service and supply sector.

There is no other gathering in the region that brings together the wide array of First Nations, Government and community leaders and the resource sectors under one roof to share respective issues and challenges and explore the unprecedented opportunities in the North.

The BC Natural Resource Forum is a key opportunity to share the vision of urban and rural BC working together for the common good of all, explore the huge opportunities that are unfolding and share our thoughts, ideas and desires for how these opportunities will unfold.

It has been a pleasure to work with MLA Mike Morris and his staff to bring our vision to a reality. Enjoy!

A MESSAGE FROM MIKE MORRIS, MLA, PRINCE GEORGE–MACKENZIE Our government is focused and committed to helping BC’s Natural Resource sector achieve their full potential in resource development, while at the same time becoming world leaders in balancing the development and extraction of resources with strong environmental stewardship.

Our future depends on each and every sector involved in natural resources to collaborate and share their synergies and ideas to help build a strong robust sector that will provide long term stable economic benefits for all British Columbians.

I am pleased that the 11th Annual BC Natural Resources Forum will take place January 22 and 23, 2014, continuing with the format established by former MLA Pat Bell in 2002, and maturing into the Province-wide event it is today.

This year’s Forum is titled “Our Resources, Our Future” speaking to the interconnectedness of not only the Resource sectors, but the connection to the future of the people of the Province of British Columbia through wise management of our resources. This year’s exciting lineup of speakers includes the Honourable Christy Clark, a tireless and pragmatic leader focused on the generational opportunities we now have before us.

The Forum also features speaker Calvin Helin, an author who has written a book titled Dances with Dependency: Out of Poverty through SelfReliance. Mr. Helin, in conjunction with the Aquilini Investment Group launched Eagle Spirit Energy Holdings Ltd. in 2012. Eagle Spirit Energy Holdings is an Aboriginalowned and controlled company set up to assist Aboriginal communities and individuals to successfully manage future economic opportunities in their traditional territories.

All of our speakers are dynamic leaders in industry and resource and each will address the current state of their sectors and what the future holds for each industry as we move forward.

I would invite you to check out this year’s itinerary. I am certain that it will be well worth registering for this year’s Forum to hear what the many speakers bring to the table. It will also be worthwhile participating in the Forum and connecting with those involved in BC’s vast and growing resource industries.

The ocean — Vast. Deep. A limitless pool of life.

A playground for the tiny and giant things that live within it.

And a gateway to the other side.

The ocean should remain an ocean.

Always.

The Northern Gateway Pipeline will protect our oceans by ensuring all tankers are guided by certified BC Coast Pilots with expert knowledge of BC’s coastline. This is just one of the ways we are working to meet BC’s five conditions. Because a better pipeline will not be built at the expense of making other things worse.
