Canadian Association Of Land And Energy Professionals

CALEP is a non-profit voluntary professional association for land and energy professionals in Canada, which evolved from the Alberta Landman’s Association founded by 8 members in 1948. In 1956, the first Canadian landman became a member of the American Association of Professional Landmen (AAPL); and, in 1957, Canada was made, and is still today, the ninth regional district of the AAPL. Although it remains closely affiliated with the AAPL, the CAPL was incorporated on May 23, 1961, as its own independent association. On April 7, 2022 after a vote by membership in Fall of 2021, we announced our name change to Canadian Association of Land & Energy Professionals.
