VANCOUVER - British Columbia, Ottawa and Shell Canada are joining together to open a centre that will invest in low-carbon technologies. The Centre for Innovation and Clean Energy is expected to be open by this fall, but a location for it has yet to be determined. The goal of the centre is to attract a range of companies and partners to focus on B.C.-based clean-energy technology. Shell Canada president Susannah Pierce says the company is accelerating plans to become a provider of net-zero emission energy products. Horgan told a news conference Friday that the wildfire destruction in Lytton shows action is needed on climate change.
