Hill Days in Ottawa

On October 8, 2025, the CHA hosted its annual Hydrogen Day on the Hill in Ottawa and led a delegation of over 35 CHA members representing the entire hydrogen value chain in Canada. During the event, the CHA and its members met with senior government officials to address the policy, regulatory and financial support needed to lay the foundation for a thriving hydrogen ecosystem that will benefit Canada’s economy, environment, and clean energy leadership.
