CanGEA's Annual Conference and Investment Forum started on September 14, 2011 with the opening of the Toronto Stock Exchange.

As opening to its Annual Conference, the Canadian Geothermal Energy Association (CanGEA) opened the Toronto Stock Exchange on September 14, 2011.

With a representation of member companies, board members and presenters of this year’s annual conference, the event highlighted the opportunities for geothermal development in the country.

The conference that started that day was a success and participants enjoyed the networking opportunities, as well as the great setting of the conference at the One King West Hotel in downtown Toronto.
