OTTAWA — The Pembina Institute is pleased to announce new roles for two of its senior
staff members, Matthew Bramley and Clare Demerse.
Effective
immediately, Dr. Bramley becomes the Institute's first director of research, a
role in which he will lead and advise on research and analysis projects
across the organization. Dr. Bramley was previously director of the Pembina
Institute's climate change program for a decade, during which time he became

reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Also with immediate effect, Ms. Demerse becomes director of Pembina's
climate change program, leading the organization's efforts to strengthen
Canada's response to the threat of global warming. Ms. Demerse joined the climate

spokesperson on climate change. Dr. Bramley will also continue to be a public
spokesperson on this and other energy-related issues.
