Premier Tim Houston will be heading south of the border to promote energy and natural resources in Nova Scotia.
He’s attending the Cambridge Energy Research Associates Week known as CERAWeek that’s taking place in Texas from March 23 to 27.
Houston will be joined by other Canadian premiers and the federal Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Tim Hodgson.
He took over the province’s Energy Minister role last October and attended trade missions in Calgary and Texas in the following weeks and spoke about offshore wind energy at the Oceantic Network forum in New York in February.
“Nova Scotia has a wealth of natural resources that are in high demand, and it’s incredibly important that we take full advantage of them in safe and responsible ways to boost Nova Scotia’s economic and energy security,” he said.
“World events continue to demonstrate the importance of making sure Nova Scotia’s economy is more resilient and ready to play a part in Canada’s energy future by further developing our energy capacity and attracting new investments.”
The province says they are working responsibly to develop offshore resources including oil, natural gas, offshore wind and permanent carbon storage.
“Nova Scotia has attracted some of the largest oil and gas companies from around the world and hosted safe exploration and development for more than 25 years,” says the province in a news release.
Houston will return from the conference on Thursday, March 26.
