Oil Sands 101 Lecture Notes

Home > Oil Sands 101 Lecture Notes

The Calgary Association of Lifelong Learners in conjunction with the Petroleum History Society presented a series of 6 talks aimed at increasing public knowledge about the oil sands. Called Oil Sands 101, the talks were held on Tuesdays from January 22 to February 26, 2013, in the Glenbow Theatre and were free.

Alberta’s vast oil sands are undergoing rapid development. They contain enough oil to make Canada an energy superpower but at what cost and to whose benefit? Almost everyone, from oil company CEOs to Hollywood stars, has offered their opinions. Oil Sands 101 offers an even-handed look at key aspects of Canada’s most controversial and expensive mega project.
