In 2010, Sheila O'Brien and Shawna Ritchie co-authored An Extraordinary West: A Narrative Exploration of Western Canada's Future, which outlines the five areas that we must get right in order for the West to achieve its full potential.

On October 12, 2011, the Canada West Foundation released a new book by Sheila O'Brien and Shawna Ritchie. Catching a Rising Tide: A Western Energy Vision for Canada is drawn from one-on-one conversations with 50 leading western Canadian experts in energy and the environment who share their vision for energy. This book illustrates Canada's current energy reality and highlights the opportunities for a bright future.
