Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan, well known for spearheading his city's opposition to the Kinder-Morgan/Trans-Mountain pipeline expansion, will address BCSEA members and friends on the subject of energy, communities, and the public interest. While provincial governments including BC's hold sway over thier energy projects and regulations, the federal government, generally through the National Energy Board, makes decisions "in the public interest" that often irrevocably alter our community futures, landscapes and sensibilities. We have asked Mayor Corrigan to reflect on what a new reconciliation of the "public interest" with respect to energy could mean for the myriad communities that together make up Canada.

Mayor Corrigan is a champion for sustainability at the local, regional and national levels. He currently chairs Burnaby’s Environmental Sustainability Strategy Steering Committee, as well as is the Chair of the Regional Planning Committee and Vice-chair of the Zero Waste Committee, among others. His devotion to and passion for the community in which he serves is evident through the appointments and special recognitions he has received prior to and during his tenure as mayor. Mayor Corrigan is in his fourth term as Mayor of the City of Burnaby and believes that Burnaby is the “best place in the world to live, work, learn and play”.
