Leading the Energy Transition: Financing a Greener Future
An Evening with Miya Ellefsen-Lee, CPA
The shift toward a net-zero economy isn’t just a moral imperative—it’s a massive financial and industrial evolution. While the technology to transition exists, the bridge between a "green idea" and a "bankable project" is built on complex tax legislation, strategic incentives, and robust financial modeling.
Join us at Deloitte Vancouver for an exclusive keynote and networking evening featuring Miya Ellefsen-Lee, a leading expert in Canada’s Clean Economy Investment Tax Credits (ITCs).
Event Overview
Whether you are a student looking to break into the sustainability sector or a professional navigating the changing energy landscape, this session provides a deep dive into how Canada’s largest industries—from mining to utilities—are financing their transition to a low-carbon future.
Miya will share her insights on:

Industry Perspectives: Real-world examples of decarbonization strategies in forestry, real estate, and mining.
