OceansAdvance AGM & Election Results
It felt good to come together in person and online with our members as we celebrated another busy and successful year at OceansAdvance. For the first time OceansAdvance hosted a hybrid Annual General Meeting and we are happy to say it proved to be a success both in person and online.
During the AGM, Delia Warren of Xodus Group gave an motivating and attention-grabbing presentation on the US offshore wind boom and opportunities for OA Members and Canadian Companies. Delia provided an overview of the offshore wind (OSW) industry in the US, globally, and the status of development efforts in Canada. As well, she provided a high-level overview of the project development process and “packages” (i.e. what goes into building an OSW farm), and finally her presentation touched on the opportunities for our membership to get involved – either in the US industry by expanding/operating abroad, by supporting operations from NL, or by growing the Canadian OSW industry.
We are pleased to announce the results of the election:
