Western Canada Project Initiation Workshop
June 23, 2026 | Calgary, AB

Thank you for your interest in QUEST's 2026 Project Initiation Workshop, taking place at Innovate Calgary’s Life Sciences Innovation Hub, on June 23rd.

Municipal and Indigenous leaders across Western Canada are navigating one of the most significant energy transitions in generations—often without the technical expertise, financial knowledge, or partner networks needed to move forward with confidence. Turning ambitious energy goals into practical, job-creating projects requires strong business cases, clear funding strategies, and a realistic path from planning to implementation. This full-day workshop is designed to close those gaps and reduce risk by bringing together peers and subject matter experts to collaborate on sustainable energy development, financing, policy, and funding.

This form includes two parts:
Participant Info – Who’s attending, contact details, and travel support
Project Info – Used to match you with an expert coach and prep for the workshop
Please complete the form carefully—your responses will help us tailor the experience to best support your project.

If you have any questions, contact Seth Leon, Community Energy & Projects at [email protected].
