Welcome to CAEPLA

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

A decidedly pro-development association, CAEPLA's role is to advance the legitimate interests of landowners within the context of development, and at the same time, provide all Canadians with a better understanding of the way property rights encourage responsible stewardship.

Saskatchewan Surface Rights Project

In the 1960's, a Saskatchewan royal commission explained the inadequacies and limitations that defined Saskatchewan land use policy and the relationship that exists between landowners and the energy sector.
