This week on the podcast, we discussed Jackie's recent visit to St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, to attend the Energy NL conference. Energy NL is the province's energy supply and service sector association, which annually hosts the province's flagship conference on conventional and clean energy. This week, Charlene Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of Energy NL, joins the podcast to explore Newfoundland and Labrador's energy potential and the discussions at the conference. Among the topics covered were potential nation-building projects, such as the Churchill River hydroelectric development—a joint $33 billion potential initiative by Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro and Hydro-Québec that aims to add nearly 4 GW of new electricity generation capacity on the river. Another significant project discussed was Equinor's Bay du Nord offshore oil development, which could open a new offshore basin 500 km off the coast of Newfoundland. In addition to covering the conference highlights, Jackie and Peter recapped the past week's events, including the constructive First Ministers' meeting in Saskatoon on June 2nd. During this meeting, Prime Minister Carney outlined the criteria for nation-building projects. Furthermore, on June 6th, the Carney government tabled new legislation, “Bill C-5: One Canadian Economy: An Act to enact the Free Trade and Labour Mobility in Canada Act and the Building Canada Act.” The goal is to pass the bill into law by Canada Day. Content referenced in this podcast: Visit Peter Tertzakian's art show at the Elevation Gallery in Canmore, “Persistence, Obsolescence and Renewal: A Visual Inquiry Into the Lifecycle of Energy Infrastructure.” Alberta Electricity System Operator (AESO) approach to extensive load connections (Data Centres), June 4 Avik Dey, President and CEO of Capital Power, LinkedIn post regarding AESO's approach to data centre development, June 4 Prime Minister of Canada Office, “First Ministers' statement on building a strong Canadian economy and advancing major projects,” June 2 “Bill C-5: One Canadian Economy: An Act to enact the Free Trade and Labour Mobility in Canada Act and the Building Canada Act,” tabled June 5 “Insiders say Mark Carney could compromise on the emissions cap,” Toronto Star, June 6 Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify

Stop Outsourcing Culture to HR From Toxic to Terrific: Small moments create big shifts Episode 256 (Mike is based in Canmore, Alberta) ---- In this conversation we explore: The difference between workplace culture and humor—and how humor supports culture. Why culture is a company's number one competitive advantage. The visible and invisible signs of strong or weak workplace culture. The impact of leadership on shaping and sustaining culture. Why every employee contributes to culture—not just HR or leadership. How intentional values and small behaviors shape long-term culture. The difference between healthy and toxic conflict at work. Simple, practical ways to assess and improve workplace culture. How humor, rituals, and fun foster psychological safety and team connection. The concept of an "umbrella value" and its influence on decision-making. ----- About our guest, Michael Kerr: Mike is the author of 9 books, including, The Jerk-Free Workplace, The Humor Advantage and Small Moments, Big Outcomes: How Leaders Create Cultures That Fuel Extraordinary Results. Learn more about Mike Kerr, his services and books at https://mikekerr.com/ ----- Key Learning Points from the Interview Culture is a Competitive Advantage Culture impacts productivity, retention, customer loyalty, and overall performance more than strategy alone. Mojo Matters Mojo is the vibe or energy of a workplace—it can be felt and should be maintained intentionally. Humor Fuels Culture Humor isn't fluff; it builds psychological safety, encourages engagement, and reduces burnout. Leadership Sets the Tone Leaders act as culture conductors. Their words, mood, and mindset ripple through teams. Everyone Owns Culture Culture isn't HR's job alone. Every employee contributes to culture in every interaction. Small Moments Have Big Outcomes A culture is shaped more by consistent small gestures than by grand slogans or posters. Define and Live Your Values Real values are reflected in daily decisions, not corporate posters. Misaligned values create cynicism. Conflict is Inevitable—Make It Constructive Healthy cultures allow disagreement without blame or fear. Psychological safety matters. Assess Culture With Gut Checks and Simple Questions Ask: Would you recommend this workplace to a friend? What's one thing you'd change? Culture Attracts Talent Great cultures draw top talent. But to win them, you must showcase culture honestly and creatively. ----- ----more---- Your Intended Message is the podcast about how you can boost your career and business success by honing your communication skills. We'll examine the aspects of how we communicate one-to-one, one to few and one to many – plus that important conversation, one to self.

We back with another OU with Nick and Chase (Noah's off crying at the beauty of Canmore like the softie he is) and holy frig if 4 days of comedy on the road is not the best way to prep for a pod! Ol Nicky bad takes was on an all time heater but luckily Chase was ready to carry the podcast and it was very entertaining watching him dummy Nick for an hour and half! But just like the Oilers you can't play great every game and that's why you got teammates! Even though Nick was probably -5 we still escaped with a win and had some great chats about the Oilers play without the big dogs, the bottom 10 activating in their absence and even some March madness chats to close it out! As always like the pod on instagram and come see some comedy shows!

In this episode of The Voice of Retail, I sit down with Cheryl Ong Seng, Vice President of Retail at Circana, to explore the latest trends shaping the Canadian retail landscape. From consumer confidence and value-seeking behaviours to the challenges of personalization and pricing strategies, they cover the key insights retailers need to know.Cheryl shares her journey from Mauritius and Australia to leading Circana's retail insights based in Canmore, Alberta, providing a unique perspective on the data and analytics that drive decision-making in the industry. She explains how Circana collects and interprets consumer trends across multiple sectors, helping retailers and brands stay ahead in an evolving market. One of the key themes of the conversation is how consumer behaviour continues to shift in response to economic pressures. Cheryl and Michael discuss how Canadian shoppers seek more value through private-label products, reward programs, or trading down to budget-friendly options. They explore the “little treat culture paradox,” where consumers splurge on premium items like coffee or gourmet groceries rather than traditional dining experiences.The episode also examines the role of AI and technology in retail, particularly in enabling better personalization and targeted marketing. Despite years of discussion around personalization, many retailers still struggle to deliver relevant promotions to their customers. Cheryl shares insights on how AI-driven data analytics can unlock new opportunities for more effective engagement.Pricing strategy is another hot topic, as retailers weigh the benefits of everyday low pricing (EDLP) versus high-low promotional models. Cheryl highlights the importance of understanding consumer psychology—while EDLP offers stability, shoppers often respond more enthusiastically to promotions and perceived discounts.Finally, the discussion touches on key industry trends, including the rise of buy-now-pay-later options, the growing consumer preference for Canadian-made products, and the balance between sustainability and affordability in purchasing decisions.Whether you're a retailer, brand leader, or industry analyst, this episode offers valuable insights into the future of retail in Canada. Tune in for expert perspectives on the data-driven decisions shaping the industry today. About CherylAs Vice President of Retail Canada, Cheryl Ong Seng is responsible for leading retail commercial teams in Canada. This includes retail client engagement, thought leadership and delivery of innovative solutions that enable accelerated decision making along with enhanced retailer-manufacturer joint business collaboration.

She joined IRI as part of the IRI- Aztec merger in 2013 and has since held multiple roles as IRI merged with the NPD Group and rebranded to Circana, including Vice President of Client Service, Managing Director and more recently Vice President of Retail Canada. Leveraging her expertise in analytics, shopper marketing solutions and bespoke client services management, Cheryl has led the expansion of the company's leading-edge capabilities in Canada.Originally from Mauritius Island, Cheryl grew up in Australia where she graduated from the University of Sydney, where she earned a Bachelor of Agricultural Economics, majoring in Marketing and Economics.

Blackie and the Rodeo Kings are one of the most interesting bands working anywhere today. Sometimes they're in a recording studio time warp with more songs to choose from than Gabriel. Followed by tours and festivals everywhere. Then they disappear The punch line to the tale is, the Blackie guys have their own lives, careers and fan bases.

Colin begins his own tour - The Ride on Tour - on April 23, hitting Calgary on June 1 and Canmore on June 3. Tom and Terry   Tom Wilson I'll just give you the short version. Re-recording songs,  with son Thompson, from his play Beautiful Scars.  Writing and recording soundtrack music for a number of projects including a film by Tanya Tagaq. Between his flourishing artwork, writing a new book, and starting a new album, Tom also enjoys the glow of an Order of Canada induction.  That's the short version.   Blackie - The Band.   Plans are underway for dates in Canada.

These challenging moments can come when people have suffered an injury, illness, or are working through physical or mental discomfort.When we find ourselves in these situations, knowing what to say, what to avoid saying, or how to act can be difficult regardless of how well intentioned we are.In this episode we are joined again by Jill Wheatley who is going to walk us through some strategies that we can use to help people through distress and adversity.Jill Wheatley is no stranger to experiencing distress herself. Jill experienced a freak accident while on a teaching assignment that resulted in a traumatic brain injury. This resulted in her losing 70% of her vision as well as a life-threatening eating disorder.More recently, Jill's resiliency has been tested once again when a fall ice climbing last winter led to multiple breaks in her leg and ankle.Jill reflects on the lessons learned on climbing expeditions in the Himalayas and recovering from injury on how we can help others when they are suffering.This is the second episode with Jill, and she continues to be candid and remarkable.Key TakeawaysHow can we help people through distress whether it be from injury, illness, discomfort or challenge:Be empathetic: This means putting yourself on their position and trying to see the situation through their eyesRecognizing Empathy Versus Sympathy: Empathy is understanding what someone might be going through while sympathy is feeling sorry or pitying them. Leading with empathy is a far more effective strategy to help people than sympathy.Listening can be a Very Powerful Tool: We can often want to try to solve people's problems when simply listening to what people have to say would be far more beneficial. Sometimes people just want to share their pain, stress and discomfort and be heard.Acknowledge Reality: Acknowledging that people are suffering can also be beneficial. As Jill pointed out, when we are in a weakened state, we don't necessarily want to hear that we are fragile, or under-performing. We also don't want to hear that everything is fine.Everyone is Different: When it comes to dealing with people, there is really no one size fits all strategy.Guest BioFollowing a traumatic brain injury that resulted in life threatening complications and 70% vision loss which required 26 months spent between 7 different health care facilities in 3 countries, Canadian Jill Wheatley was dropped at Denver International Airport with no direction. The only sign she could see pointed to mountains. Despite such compromised eyesight, Jill chose to spend one year alone with Mother Nature in an attempt to find light on life's trail. Her search led through 13 different massifs and upon running in the Annapurnas in Nepal, she knew that she wanted to spend more time among Himalayan giants. Essentially she has gone from being bedridden, to a wheelchair, then on to walking, navigating hospital parking lots to hiking, trail running, mountain running and skiing before climbing 5, 6, and then seven 8000 m peaks and spending the past 5 years based in Nepal. In a story made for movies, Jill's trail has recently connected to another type of climb when she had a lead fall ice climbing in February 2024 not long after shifting home from the Himalayas to the comforts of Canmore in the Canadian Rockies. With multiple breaks in her leg and ankle, she is committed to a full recovery and getting back to breaking down the stigma associated with brain injury, vision loss and eating disorders while encouraging and helping others get out to do wild things in wild places.

Hosts Dallen Stanford & Robin MacDowell are joined by legend Krissy Scurfield for #RugbyHive Episode 35. Scurfield is a Canadian rugby sensation who played a pivotal role in securing a Silver Medal for Rugby Canada at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Known for her electric speed and unmatched resilience, Krissy's rise to the top of international rugby has been nothing short of extraordinary. Originally from the picturesque town of Canmore, Alberta, nestled in the Canadian Rockies, Krissy's early years were defined by a love for sports, particularly ice hockey. She grew up playing on the ice, embodying the quintessential Canadian spirit, before making a transformative switch to rugby. This transition wasn't just about changing sports; it was about embracing new challenges and opportunities on the global stage. After her debut on the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series, Krissy quickly became a standout player, and in 2022, she earned a spot on the Vancouver Sevens Dream Team. During the 2023/2024 Series, Scurfield scored 20 tries in 37 matches. Scurfield's road to the Paris Olympics was a tough one, marked by both triumphs and setbacks. Despite an injury during the Games, Krissy showed incredible grit and determination, helping Canada secure a historic Silver Medal. In this episode, we talk about her journey to Paris, the devastating injury she picked up on day one of competition, and the overwhelming support from her family and teammates. After the Olympics, Krissy continued her career with the Loughborough Lightning in the UK, where she embraced a new challenge playing in the Premiership Women's Rugby competition. We discuss her transition to the UK, a memorable coast-to-coast try she scored, and how her sevens experience has helped her thrive in the 15s format, with the goal of playing in the 2025 Rugby World Cup in England! Off the field, Krissy is making a mark as the founder of Scurfield Athletics, a personal training business where she helps others unlock their athletic potential. She shares the rewards and challenges of coaching and mentoring young athletes, offering invaluable insights into what it takes to succeed both on and off the field.

Rethinking EV ChargingA commonly held belief by new or prospective EV owners is that purchasing one requires the installation of a “level 2”, or 240 volt, home charger. Sara and Ed chat about recent University of Calgary research that challenges this assumption. They discuss considerations that might go into choosing which option is best for EV owners and people considering EVs, as well as the practical realities when it comes to charging, range anxiety - and pottery kilns.

Hello everyone, welcome to another episode. Today I really want to talk about something important that starts with a personal story. The story is from when Rob and I were camping a couple of weeks ago and has to do with how I felt about shopping for and trying on clothes in my favorite clothing store in Canmore. I love a certain brand and I know they fit well but I decided to try on a new brand in my size and it did not flatter at all. It was constricting and felt terrible. And I had already felt out of place walking in because I'd come straight off a hike with Rob and was dusty and in hiking gear. All of this culminated in this thought popping into my head: “I feel fat.” And I want to talk about what we actually mean when we think that. I want to break that down and take away its power today.    The truth is that when we say we “feel fat” we are actually talking about something else. Because fat is not a feeling. It's not an emotion. But the word ‘fat' does carry a lot of weight in our thin-obsessed society and it is a loaded term. We use it to express feelings of inadequacy or discomfort or, in my case, even failure. So I want us to think about what we're really saying when we say “I feel fat”. When I said that, I projected all my feelings onto my body. I projected society's idea of fatness as equal to being undesirable or worthless onto my own body. But my body was not the problem. My emotions were what I needed to deal with. Let me say that directly to each of you. Just because you feel discomfort in your body doesn't mean your body is the problem. I want to help you shift your focus away from blaming your body and help you build a more compassionate relationship with it. I want to help reframe what we mean when we say “I feel fat”. Join me in this episode as I unpack what's really behind that sentence and how we can remove our bodies as the target of our emotions.__About Dr. Michelle Tubman:Dr. Michelle Tubman is certified by the American Board of Obesity Medicine, which means she understands exactly what's happening in your body when you diet.

I met up with my good friends and training partners, Wendy and Alison in the beautiful mountain town of Canmore for a dog-free ladies weekend. I wrangled them both into recording this podcast episode. In this conversation, Wendy, Allison, and I discuss the challenges we face training our dogs at the elite level. We attempt to normalize the idea that issues and challenges are a constant part of training. We talk about the difficulties encountered with containers, particularly the changes in odor availability and the complexity of container shapes and sizes. How training different dogs present different challenges, and give you an insight into our minds on how we think about trials and failure. 00:00 Introduction 04:01 The Complexity of Containers 09:22 Strategies for Overcoming Challenges 17:37 Challenges with Converging Odor 19:37 Working Through Odor Confusion 23:10 Training Techniques for Converging Odor 24:59 Exploring Different Odors 28:15 The Potential Issues with Training on Old Hides 31:26 Challenges with Converging Odor 34:41 The Importance of Teamwork and Preparation in Trials 37:46 Understanding Your Dog's Strengths and Weaknesses 43:11 Embracing Failure as Part of the Learning Process

Sitting alone in an open-sided tent in the Community Village at the Vancouver Folk Music Festival in Jericho Beach Park I ran ths week's selection of tunes from my iPhone!

How many of you were inspired to start climbing because of a comic? I'm sure Masato Najakima is not alone, but he is the only person I can say with certainty that that's the case. (And if you're curious, it was Gaku: Minna no Yama (in English, "Peak: Everyone's Mountain")).Anywho, Masato is a leading drytooler in Japan and was one of a contingent from the country who sent “A Line Above the Sky” last year. Masato is a bit of a late bloomer — at 43, he's one of the older athletes on the UIAA World Cup scene — and has made great progress since he started competing in 2016.As one of the elder statesmen in his country, he's trying to grow the sport locally. And despite 5 drytooling gyms in Tokyo — yes, you heard that right — it's not easy… which we dive into in this chat.Along with that, in this episode, we discuss:

David, Sara, and Ed talk to Canada's Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Jonathan Wilkinson. The conversation was very timely given that Canada's federal parliament had only just risen for the summer. It was also revealing of the challenges and opportunities facing the current federal government on climate and energy policy. They covered a broad range of energy and climate policy topics, from electrification, affordability concerns, policy resilience, to his government's industrial decarbonization problem.About Our Guest:The Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson has served as the Member of Parliament for North Vancouver since 2015. He has also served in the Prime Minister's Cabinet as Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard, Minister of Environment and Climate Change, and currently as Minister of Energy and Natural Resources. Raised in Saskatchewan, Minister Wilkinson spent more than 20 years in the private sector, holding leadership positions with a number of companies dedicated to the development of clean technology.About Your Co-Hosts:David Keith is Professor and Founding Faculty Director, Climate Systems Engineering Initiative at the University of Chicago.
