Presented by:

Jack MacDonald, Special Advisor, Inlandsis Fund
Jack is a finance and commercial professional with over 20 years of international experience developing clean energy and emission reduction related businesses. He was CFO and Commercial Director of EcoSecurities, the world’s largest carbon offset company, where he led the IPO on the London AIM and the sale of the company to JP Morgan. Previously, Jack was an institutional equity capital markets trader at Sprott Securities (now Cormark).

About Inlandsis

Created in 2017, the Inlandsis Fund has been supported since the beginning by Fondaction and Priori-T Capital, both based in Montréal. For the purpose of managing the Inlandsis I and II funds, they created a new joint venture, Inlandsis ManagementCo. Inlandsis is the only Canadian fund, and one of the few worldwide, to exclusively finance carbon emission reductions. It offers a unique project financing solution that supplies initial capital in exchange for carbon credits — an innovation that is crucial to bringing numerous carbon emission reduction projects to fruition. The fund’s capital will be deployed in projects that generate credits on North American compliance and voluntary carbon markets.

“Building a Culture that Sustains Land”

We had 78 participants in this year’s Series, and by all reports so far, it was very successful. The additional new site visits (2) plus the full day workshop were beneficial. We had 19 people registered for the full day workshop with Kim Klein. Several participants reported that it was the most useful workshop they had ever attended. Eight people went to the Skaha Bluffs tour (excluding the 3 guides) plus eleven people went to the First Nations, and Okanagan River Restoration project.

Here are some testimonials:

  • “Thanks for creating such a great conference again this year! Best wishes” – Liz Webster, Executive Director, Savary Island Land Trust Society
  • “I thought the workshop went well – lots of interesting topics” – Wayne Stetski, Manager EKCP
  • “Just wanted to send you a note to say thank you for putting together a fantastic Seminar Series. I learned so much from the seminars, as well as from the conversations I had with the other attendees. This was the first time I was able to make it, and it was a great experience. I am feeling rejuvenated and connected and ready to get back to it. Congratulations on organizing such a worthwhile event!” – Laurie Parker, HAT
  • “I wanted to let you know that I thought the seminar series was excellent and was very pleased that I could be a part of it” – Jeff Ward
