The agenda for Resilience 2017 in Edmonton, AB is more or less complete and I am looking forward to chairing this event. Our line-up of speakers will be providing perspectives and lessons from the recent wildfires around Fort McMurray. We will have perspectives from the Federal and Provincial government as well as municipal, private sector, insurance and volunteer viewpoints. There's a lot to learn from this incident to help us improve our resilience, not only to wildfires but to other future emergencies.

The world is now connected in ways that seemed like science fiction only decades ago. And this is true not just of people, but of things as well. People connected to people, people connected to devices and devices connected to devices. Connectivity has become an essential dependency in our day-to-day lives, and an even greater necessity when disaster strikes.

Telecommunications is the thread that connects all of us. In the event of an emergency, it is imperative that telecom companies have the capability to withstand adverse conditions and to recover critical services with minimal interruption. If not planned for accordingly, severe weather, flooding, wildfires and seismic activity pose a great risk to the critical infrastructure that connects us all.

Well-known as one of Canada’s top telecommunications companies, TELUS provides a wide range of communications products and services, including wireless, data, Internet protocol (IP), voice, television, entertainment and video, and is Canada's largest healthcare IT provider. Join us for this webinar where Michael Galin and Jeff Hortobagyi from TELUS’ Corporate Business Continuity Office will discuss what it takes to keep this essential service operational when disaster strikes.

A major earthquake in Western Canada could lead to significant economic costs for the private and public sector and the possibility of widespread failure in the insurance industry.
