The Canada Energy Regulator (CER) works to keep energy moving safely across the country. We review energy development projects and share energy information, all while enforcing some of the strictest safety and environmental standards in the world. Headquartered in Calgary, Alberta with regional offices in Montréal, Vancouver and Yellowknife, the CER has approximately 600 employees.

The Federal Public Service is stronger and most effective when we reflect the diversity of the Canadian population we serve. The CER is dedicated to building and promoting a diverse, equitable and inclusive workforce, representative of all Canadians regardless of race, ethnicity, sex, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender expression, socio-economic background or lived experience.

The CER strives to be an employer of choice for Indigenous Peoples*. We are committed to implementing systemic changes within the organization, as well as supporting the individual Reconciliation journey of each person at the CER.
