APF Canada is pleased to support the BC Critical Minerals Forum, a timely two-day event examining how British Columbia and Canada are positioning critical minerals within global supply chains, industrial policy, and allied security priorities.

The Forum brings together senior decision-makers from government, First Nations, mining, finance, and infrastructure to address the policy, permitting, and investment challenges shaping the next phase of critical minerals development in B.C.

Taking place April 14–15 in Vancouver, the program features 50+ speakers and participants, including representatives from the Government of BC, NRCan, the Department of National Defence, Canada Growth Fund, Canada Infrastructure Bank, BC Hydro, Indigenous governments, mining companies, and capital providers.

For APF Canada’s network, the Forum offers a valuable opportunity to connect with project developers and policymakers, and to explore potential international partnerships, trade linkages, and investment pathways across the critical minerals value chain.
