From Infrastructure to Industry: Building Canada’s Competitive Edge

Canada’s federal and provincial governments are championing a new era of building, announcing major infrastructure projects to strengthen the economy and respond to trade tensions with the United States. But as investment flows into roads, transit, and energy systems, questions remain: what about the large industrial employers who rely on natural gas and anchor communities across Ontario and Quebec?

The 2026 IGUA Spring Seminar will explore how governments’ building agenda intersects with the needs of energy-intensive industries. Participants will discuss competitiveness under tariff uncertainty, energy affordability and reliability, and the role for industry with the value-added benefit and employment opportunities it offers.

Bringing together industrial leaders, policymakers, and energy experts, this year’s seminar asks: will industrials be included in the vision to build Canada’s future?

Join us to engage in timely conversations on growth, resilience, and the role of large energy users in shaping Canada’s next chapter.
