Mining the Cosmos Presented by Keira Sawatzky, Jared Peterson & Brandon Harris
Western Canada sits at a crossroads. With the oil and gas sector’s glory days fixed firmly in the rear-view mirror, and volatility of world commodity prices resulting in lower production and fewer jobs with some of the Saskatchewan’s largest mining companies, there is more talent sitting idle in the industries than at any time in recent memory.
Outside of Western Canada, however, there is an exciting new opportunity emerging, one whose success will depend on the expertise that our engineers, scientists, financiers, lawyers and entrepreneurs already possess; the race to mine the cosmos. We have one opportunity to enter the market at the ground floor (literally) or risk losing our global competitive advantage and our chance to enter a future trillion-dollar industry.
Join us on January 21 to discuss the unlikely but overwhelmingly strong parallels between what we do here in Saskatchewan already, and what we will need to do in space. We will explore the barriers, opportunities, and the plan that Peter Lucas has created to bring our humble province into the race to mine off-earth.
