A shake up is coming to Canada’s energy industry as the head of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) is stepping down.

CAPP president and CEO Tim McMillan expects to leave his role in April, coinciding with the association’s annual general meeting.

McMillan has been with the group — which advocates for the oil and gas sector — for seven years.

“As the natural gas and oil industry begins its recovery from the impacts of the pandemic and years of challenging commodity markets, the timing is right for a new leader to take the reins at CAPP,” McMillan said in a news release Thursday.
