Consultation Regulatory

From its inception, E -T Energy has tried to develop strong relationships with stakeholders from both the regulatory sphere and within the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo. A key success factor for our future expansion will be our relationships with our neighbors and we are committed to extensive and open communication with stakeholders. E-T Energy’s operations in the Athabasca area are close to several First Nations communities. E-T Energy recognizes the unique heritage, culture, and rights of Alberta’s First Nation and Metis people and will strive to include them in benefits including employment and business opportunities that result from our oil sands project.
