The Pembina Institute’s unGALA will once again be held in January 2026. We’ll all be ready to get together, put on our cowboy hats and celebrate the power of a clean energy future that drives a prosperous, connected Canadian economy. For more than a decade now, the annual Pembina Institute unGALA gathers leaders in government, industry, academia and non-governmental organizations, all committed to developing evidence-based, practical solutions to Canada’s greatest energy challenges. It’s called the unGALA because it’s an unconventional party, beloved for the casual atmosphere and western attire.
The night will be full of delicious eats and plenty of networking with Canada’s who’s who of the sustainability sector, so be sure to secure your 2026 sponsorships early!
