April 21, 2010

Canada’s oil and gas industry strives to be open in our communications.

2010 Winter Olympics

February 16, 2010

Canada's oil and gas industry applauds the efforts and achievements of our athletes and the coming together of diverse individuals and nations in Vancouver this winter. We believe in the Olympic Games as a celebration of human competitiveness, camaraderie, innovation and sportsmanship. We do not believe in high-jacking the games in order to drive an agenda. CAPP will gladly address issues with environmental lobby groups after the Olympic Games.

National Geographic's Article on Canada's Oil Sands: An Incomplete Perspective

March 10, 2009

Few photographic journals are as influential as National Geographic, due to a reputation that has been built on balanced and objective photojournalism. These qualities were unfortunately not evident in the perspective on the oil sands presented in the March edition this year. We think it is important that a more complete perspective be seen and understood.
