Future Materials Alliance Overview

For Canada's North and West

Author

Energy Futures Lab

The Future Materials Alliance is built on the premise that coordination itself is a strategic advantage. This overview outlines why collective action across Western and Northern Canada is necessary, how alignment can accelerate participation in national and global critical materials supply chains, and what makes the region uniquely positioned to succeed.

By working together, the West and North can move further and faster in developing the minerals and materials essential to a secure and sustainable future economy.

We gratefully acknowledge the original territories of the Siksikáwa, Îyârhe Nakodabi, and Tsuut’ina Dene, of Mohkínstsisakápiyoyis, Wincheesh-pah, Kootsisáw, or the colonized lands which many now refer to as Calgary, where the Energy Futures Lab is headquartered. These Lands are also home to members of the Métis Nation of Alberta under the Otipemisiwak Métis Government — District 4 & 5, whose peoples have deep relationships with the land. This reminds all of us to walk in a good way and remember our commitments to Indigenous Peoples.
