🌟 A couple of weeks ago, we wrapped up our final Lunch and Learn of the summer with the #YCRLeadershipProgram. We designed this session to empower YOU to speak confidently about the oil & gas industry. Heather Exner-Pirot and Lynn Exner joined us to discuss energy transition, debunk myths, and advocate effectively for the oil & gas industry. One of the highlights from our session was hearing your questions! Many of you asked: "When friends or strangers ask how you support oil & gas, what do you tell them?" At YCR, we encourage these tips, so drop a comment below and let's continue this conversation on how to effectively handle this question😁

We are so proud of you guys, congrats on the win!🥳 It was truly a brilliant idea and we definitely could tell a lot of thought went into it. We’re really looking forward to seeing what you come up with next year😁

😁Hey, YOU!😁 Join us this Thursday for our second biggest competition of the #YCRLeadershipProgram: Dragon's Den! This year, we asked summer students from various oil & gas companies to create marketing campaigns promoting Canada's Natural Resources workforce. Not to be biased, but they've definitely crafted some one-of-a-kind strategies :) Curious to see these campaigns in action? Then don't miss out!😘 Plus, enjoy complimentary food and refreshments while you cheer them on. They've done the hard work, YOU just have to come and support them :) Interested?

🌟 We had an amazing time at a recent workshop with the team! 🌟 A big thank you to Angie Fricke for inviting us to an Obsidian Energy Ltd. student workshop focused on Conflict Resolution, Mediation & Negotiation. And a huge shoutout to all the speakers!🤩 We had so much fun with the yarn exercise led by Jaime Lawrence M.S.S, Q. Med., which really showed us how despite our differences, we’re all connected in some way. It was truly eye-opening to realize that conflicts are a natural part of life, but when we handle them like pros with clear goals, we can achieve and ✨ slay ✨ so much together. And crazy to learn how valuable a little mediation can be in smoothing things out and bringing us closer. We are super excited to see how we apply these skills in our daily work! If you're a student or young pro looking to level up your skills at workshops like these, make sure to follow us and subscribe to our newsletters!! We're always sharing opportunities like these on our social media. Our DM's are always open too! 😁❤️

🤠🎉Our Stampede party was so much fun! 🤠🎉 Last Friday, we hosted our most anticipated event of the summer at The Calgary Stampede (Wildhorse Saloon). Working at YCR, we can say that this event is the most exciting one! A huge thank you to everyone who joined us! It was amazing to see so many of you dressed up in your western gear, truly embracing the spirit of the occasion. 🤠👢We also enjoyed connecting with every single one of you, it's always the best part of any event. We also want to apologize for being a bit MIA lately. We're now back on the LinkedIn grind and excited to share more content with you❤️

✨Our Experience at the Global Energy Show Canada ✨ Attending this show filled with industry leaders and public figures was a first for many of us, and we felt like kids in a candy store admiring the cool and innovative technology on display! We learned so much that by the end, we were industry nerds.🤓 Representing Canada Action Coalition was an amazing experience. We were excited to connect with so many Canadians who support our natural resources. It was heartwarming to receive compliments and inquiries like "Where did you get your shirt?" and "Wow, so many young Canadians this year!", highlighting our strong presence. Thank you to everyone who visited our booth, grabbed stickers, and shirts; your support means a lot to us. It makes us really proud that our message is resonating and that people are supporting our world-leading resources.❤️

Woohoo!🎉 Thank you for attending our event and sharing your experience! It makes us really happy that you found our session today inspiring and informative- it’s what we strive for.

🌟 Today was an incredible day for the YCR team🌟 We had the privilege of representing Canada Action Coalition at the National Coalition of Chiefs (NCC) Energy and Natural Resource Summit. It was an honor to be greeted warmly by Dale Swampy, the esteemed President of NCC. 💼We were seriously so lucky to be in a room full of industry leaders and CEOs including, Stephen Buffalo (CEO, Indian Resource Council), Shauna Feth, FEA (CEO, Alberta Chambers of Commerce), Lisa A. Baiton, MBA, ICD.D (CEO, Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP)),Kendall Dilling (President, Pathways Alliance), Doug Griffiths, MBA (President/CEO, Edmonton Chamber of Commerce), Chana Martineau BA, ICD.D (President/CEO, Alberta Indigenous Opportunities Corporation), Brent Nassichuk (Chief Science Officer, AGAT Laboratories), Shannon A Joseph (Chair, Energy for a Secure Future), Chief Judy Desjarlais, Chief Chief Roy Jones Jr, Craig Hallden, and Brian L Mountain. 🌍 As young Canadians attending this summit, we learned the importance of building strong Indigenous ties and understanding the economic values of our energy sector. These leaders made it clear: supporting Canada's natural resources isn't just a shared objective; it's our collective responsibility. 💡 Additionally, learning about how energy development creates jobs and opportunities for Indigenous communities and all Canadians left a lasting impact. We're not just shaping our future; we're paving the way for a more inclusive and prosperous Canada. #CanadianEnergy #FutureLeaders
