Four views on one pipeline

Resource Works is an organization that, quite uniquely in British Columbia, examines the economic consequences of natural resource development

We are well aware that many other organizations exist to look at other aspects of a sustainable, modern resource economy. Our research to date has uncovered important information about the role of natural resources in increasing prosperity and reducing poverty. We have also begun to examine the opportunities that exist for First Nations.
