CI Energy Group Presents Its First Ever Camp Logistics and Workforce Accommodation Forum

PRLog (Press Release) - Aug. 1, 2012 - Fort McMurray, AB – As oil sands production rises, so does the need to accommodate an increasing workforce population. There is a critical demand for camp accommodations, and the need to properly plan and execute them. The social, economic and infrastructure impacts of this influx also extend outside of industry as the region struggles to keep up with new challenges both within and outside of camps.

CI Energy Group’s Camp Logistics and Workforce Accommodation Forum is a first-of-its-kind event that will bring together top experts and key players from industry and government to address critical challenges facing camp logistics and workforce accommodation today. Conference highlights include:

•   Benchmark your workforce accommodations with Cenovus Energy’s best practices in camp accommodations at Christina Lake
•   Engage in a panel discussion with Diversified Transportation Ltd., the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo and Suncor Energy, and explore solutions to the Athabasca region’s transportation issues
•   Gain strategies for meeting accommodation requirements in the Athabasca Oil Sands region from MEG Energy Corp and CNRL
•   Take away lessons learned from Black Diamond Group on how they overcame pitfalls in planning and executing camps in the Highway 881 corridor
•   Experience first-hand the level of camp accommodations being offered to the oil sands workforce by participating in a site tour of Clean Harbour’s Sierra Select Lodge
•   Navigate the permit process to move your camp build forward
•   Gain strategies for attracting and retaining workers in the highly competitive oil sands industry
…and much more!
