NEW ACADIA INSIGHTS PODCAST!

On this week’s Insights podcast, Michelle Robichaud, President of the Atlantica Centre for Energy and Heidi Leslie, CEO of Crux Energy Consulting join Don and David to discuss a new report prepared for the Atlantic Energy Collective. Entitled An Atlantic Canadian Energy Future, the report outlines the state of the energy sector in the region. There are many important energy projects on the drawing board from Gull Island in Labrador to offshore wind in Nova Scotia. Robichaud and Leslie make a compelling case that the region would be better off if there was greater collaboration within Atlantic Canada among governments and energy utilities. From the importance of natural gas to the potential of ‘behind the meter’ electricity production, they go deep but explain things in a way that is relatable to a general audience.

We are deeply saddened by the recent news of the passing of Mr. Robert K. Irving. Our thoughts are with the Irving family and all those mourning his passing.

In December 2024, Don Mills and David Campbell had a rare and exclusive opportunity to interview Mr. Irving on the Insights podcast. This is a re-release of that Insights podcast.

In the podcast, the Co-CEO of JD Irving shared information about the companies under his direction, their continued growth, major recent capital investments and succession. Robert, along with his brother Jim Irving, oversaw Midland Trucking, Midland Courier, Irving Tissue and Cavendish Farms, amongst others. They are operated out of a head office in Dieppe and employ more than 2,000 people in the Moncton area alone, including 700 head office jobs. JDI may not be a household name for all Canadians, but it’s the largest vertically integrated conglomerate in Atlantic Canada and one of the biggest in Canada, with more than 20,000 employees. This is a surprisingly candid conversation with one of the region’s most important yet reticent business leaders, who shared many facts not previously known publicly.

NEW ACADIA INSIGHTS PODCAST! 🎙️

On this week’s Insights podcast, we speak with John MacIsaac, President of ProEnergy Global Solutions Canada Ltd. and Brad Coady, Chief Commercial Officer, NB Power / Énergie NB, about an important new initiative, the Renewable Integration Grid Security Project (RIGS). In recent years, more of the region’s electricity demand has been supplied by wind, solar and other renewable sources. The challenge is that this electricity is only produced when the wind is blowing or the sun is shining. The RIGS project is meant to ensure the grid has enough electricity to meet demand, even on the coldest day in February. RIGS will provide up to 500 MW of electricity as needed, support grid stability in New Brunswick, and provide benefits to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.

Another amazing year supporting a meaningful cause ❤️

NEW EAST OF MONTREAL PODCAST! 🎙️

Marc Almon is a Halifax-based, award-winning film and television producer, arts advocate, and social entrepreneur dedicated to community-driven ventures. He realized that too many investment dollars leave the Maritimes and end up in Toronto or New York. So he set out to solve that problem with Backr, a new digital investment platform that makes it easier to keep Nova Scotia investment dollars working at home. Marc’s audacious goal? Build Canada’s leading impact investment platform, starting in Nova Scotia, to diversify and accelerate local growth.

NEW ACADIA INSIGHTS PODCAST! 🎙️

Our guest on this episode of the Insights Podcast is Elisa Obermann, the Executive Director of Marine Renewables Canada (MRC), an industry association headquartered in Halifax with more than 200 members. In this podcast, Elisa talks about the various forms of marine renewable energy, including energy from rivers, waves, tides, and offshore wind. The focus of her association is advocacy and the development of a robust supply chain for renewables in Canada. Interestingly, MRC’s recent conference attracted more than 700 attendees, underscoring the growing interest in this sector. The biggest opportunity is clearly offshore wind, where MRC has set a goal of 30 GW by 2050. For perspective, Nova Scotia currently uses about 2.3 GWs of electricity annually. Tidal, by contrast, is expected to generate only about 1 GW of electricity over the same time period. It is interesting to note that one offshore turbine will provide electricity to about 15,000 households, while one on-shore turbine will provide electricity to between 2-3,000 households. Obermann discusses what is needed to realize offshore wind’s potential, including investment tax credits and transmission infrastructure. It is an excellent overview for those following Premier Houston’s Wind West project.

NEW ACADIA INSIGHTS PODCAST! 🎙️

On this episode of the Insights Podcast, we’re joined by Gregg Curwin, President & CEO of Nova Scotia–based Novagevity. Gregg is a proven agriculture entrepreneur and the founder of TruLeaf Sustainable Agriculture, now Canada’s largest indoor vertical farming company.

Gregg joins Don and David to share his entrepreneurial journey, discussing the importance of R&D, access to capital, and the realities of building companies in Nova Scotia. He also makes a compelling case for why Atlantic Canada should invest more in controlled environment agriculture (CEA) to boost food self-sufficiency and improve food quality.
