Description
This conference is designed to inform public opinion about the potential impact of hydraulic fracturing on Canadian water supplies resulting from efforts to develop shale gas. Technologies such as horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing previously thought too expensive or complicated to develop have made it possible to recover natural gas from shale formations with the aim of increasing domestic and continental energy security.
The conference will provide an opportunity for interactive public comment and dialogue from a wide range of experts representing government, environmental sciences, law, non-governmental organizations, First Nations, academe, industry and engineering.
Draft agenda available at www.powi.ca.
