Critical minerals (CM) are essential to Canada’s future to meet climate change goals, expand international trade, and strengthen national security. Historical definitions of CM focused on their importance during periods of war but have been expanded to include those that are important for the transition to a low-carbon and digital economy and are essential to economic and national security.

The uses, distribution of resources, supply chain, and geopolitics of the six priority critical minerals identified by the federal government (lithium, graphite, nickel, cobalt, copper, and rare earth elements) will be discussed. In addition, uranium, aluminum, and potash, will be highlighted.

The Saskatchewan Research Council worked with SaskPower to build SaskPower’s first community-scale renewable microgrid, approximately 7 hours north of Saskatoon in Descharme Lake, SK. The hybrid remotely controlled system, owned by SaskPower, is expected to increase resiliency, reach a high degree of renewable penetration and yield a favorable payback compared to the existing 95-km single phase line that currently powers the community. In this session, the design process will be shared including the efficiencies and redundancies of the microgrid.

When teams thrive, they elevate everyone to a level they didn’t know was possible. When teams struggle, they create dynamics and challenges that limit performance.

NAIA National Coach of the Year Dr. Ivan Joseph cracked the code. He led a small college in Iowa to win a national soccer championship and elevated a marginal university athletic program to national prominence. And this is why he’s invited to speak on stages around the world.

Self-confidence, cohesion, and expectations drive team performance. Joseph’s approach works — leaders and teams see immediate impact. It’s time to amplify your team’s performance!
