The Prince George Civic Centre was packed to the brim as 1,600 members of the natural resources industry met. This makes the 2026 forum the most well-attended in the more than two decades. …The first day of the forum kicked off with workshops on renewable energy, navigating benefit-sharing agreements in BC and proven communication strategies. Booths were also set up, ranging from industry giants like CN Rail and the BC Council of Forest Industries to newcomers like Tano T’enneh Enterprises, the economic and business development arm of the Lheidli T’enneh First Nation. …Another company taking part is Strategic Natural Resource Group, the largest Indigenous majority-owned resource consulting firm in Western Canada. …The company has also helped develop Prince George’s wildfire resilience plan and has helped contractors and city staff implement a plan to maintain a FireSmart ring around the city, said CEO Domenico Lannidinardo.
