Alberta Premier Danielle Smith will deliver the keynote address at a major energy-sector luncheon in Calgary on Monday. The annual State of the Industry event, jointly hosted by the Canadian Association of Energy Contractors (CAOEC) and the Explorers and Producers Association of Canada (EPAC), brings together drilling firms, producers, and key service-sector leaders.
The day opens with a fresh drilling and service-rig forecast presented by CAOEC president Mark Scholz. Smith is scheduled to take the podium at approximately 12:30 p.m., after which she will join EPAC president Tristan Goodman for a fireside chat.
Smith’s remarks are expected to reinforce messages delivered at the United Conservative Party’s annual general meeting over the weekend, where she told members Alberta had “turned the tide” on federal energy policy through a new agreement with Ottawa. The deal includes changes to emissions rules, electricity regulations, and federal legislation governing major projects.
If you want, I can also tailor this rewrite for a specific tone — newswire, broadcast script, formal media release, or internal briefing.
