Uniting women through bold conversations
We represent Canadian women who believe sound energy policies are vital for the continuing economic prosperity of our country. We’re driven by the unshakable belief that a better world is possible and we can make it happen… together.
Our new research shows Canadian women believe energy policies are making life harder.
Evolving Canada’s energy system: A transition or transformation?
“If you want to change Canada’s energy system, you have to understand what that system is now, and what kind of lift we’re talking about,” says Shannon Joseph, chair of Energy for a Secure Future.
Indigenous involvement in the energy industry powers prosperity
As our country strives to create an inclusive future, it’s important to recognize that reconciliation has a place in every industry in Canada — and energy is no exception. Meaningful reconciliation recognizes Indigenous rights and engages Indigenous peoples as partners in energy transformation.
Is there a credible alternative to the carbon tax?

Signature Event: Sound energy policy that keeps up with Canada’s potential
On June 18, 2024, we welcomed more than 200 attendees to kick off a national campaign that amplifies what women have recently told us. We shared our new spring research, initiated bold conversations around sound energy policy and asked women what tradeoffs they are willing to make to balance energy security, the economy and the environment.

“We share concerns about the energy sector, the economy, the environment, our social programs, and about how Canada is experienced by the rest of the world… the more we talked, the more we started asking, "I wonder how other women are feeling? I wonder what they’re thinking?”
— Dr. Lucy Miller, Canada Powered by Women founding member
