Who We Are
We are dedicated to realizing the full potential of Alberta’s abundant natural resources by expanding and diversifying Alberta’s resource manufacturing industries.
The Resource Diversification Council is a non-profit association comprised of industry, post-secondary, and labour leaders who share a mutual interest in advancing Alberta’s resource value added sector.
Proposed Projects
With over $22 billion of proposed projects, our members are ready to capitalize on the rising global demand for petrochemical projects while creating tens of thousands of high-paying jobs, developing new skills for Albertans, and building resilient communities across Alberta.
Our Members
