Upcoming EMTF Event: Our last presentation of the term, Wednesday June 3rd, will be over Zoom by Claire Kraatz and Amanda Bryant.

Methane Pollution from the Oil and Gas Industry and its growing impacts on our health, climate, and communities. - The presentation will explore why methane is such a potent greenhouse gas, examine the importance of monitoring and tracking emissions to ensure accountability and compliance, and discuss Canada’s new federal methane regulations, which aim to reduce methane emissions by 72% by 2030. Speakers will also highlight how strong provincial equivalency agreements can help unlock economic growth, create jobs, and position Canada as a leader in the transition to a low-carbon economy.
