ABOUT CAEPLA

The Canadian Association of Energy and Pipeline Landowner Associations (CAEPLA) is Canada’s foremost and leading association of property owners who have a direct and ongoing interest in the way government and energy regulators define, and then influence, the relationships that exist between property owners and various aspects of the energy sector.

CAEPLA’s role is to advance the legitimate interests of property owners within the context of development, while at the same time provide all Canadians with a better understanding of the way property rights encourage responsible stewardship. A pro-development association, CAEPLA supports development that is responsible, sustainable, and respects the stewardship responsibilities of landowners to protect land and water for future generations.

CAEPLA is especially interested in the performance of energy regulators and the various provincial and federal agencies that define or influence the way energy companies interact with landowners. At the federal level, this would particularly include the National Energy Board. At the provincial level it includes agencies such as the Alberta Surface Rights Board, the Saskatchewan Surface Rights Board, the Alberta Energy Conservation Board (ERCB), the BC Oil and Gas Commission, the Ontario Energy Board, the Alberta Utilities Commission, the New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board (NBEUB), and others.

Associate membership in CAEPLA is open to all individuals and businesses that support the organization’s objectives. To become an associate member of CAEPLA, or to make a donation, click here.
