Fort McKay First Nation
Let’s Cross the Finish Line Together
Challenge
Now more than ever, Albertans need to rally together to find solutions that support responsible oil sands development and tell the complete story of Alberta’s energy sector. Partnerships among industry, government and First Nations are critical to our collective future success.
Solution
The Moose Lake Together Summit demonstrates what a strong Alberta energy industry looks like -- government, industry, and Indigenous partners working together to bring clarity and certainty to growing our economy while protecting the environment and respecting Treaty rights. The Moose Lake Summit is the culmination of 20 years of collaboration. It’s a tangible expression of government, industry and Indigenous partners coming together to ensure responsible growth that protects the ecological and cultural integrity of Moose Lake.
Impact
Key news stories elicited quotes and responses from Minister Wilson and Minister Nixon’s office, securing public comments of support for Moose Lake. The Summit resulted in a three-month roadmap from the Government of Alberta (GoA) to approve the Plan. GoA was on the record acknowledging commitment to finalize the Moose Lake Plan.
