Oil Museum of Canada hosts first Virtual Talk of 2023

Oil Springs, ON - Oil Museum of Canada, National Historic Site, is hosting their first Virtual Talk of 2023 on Thursday, February 2 beginning at 7:00 p.m. The Museum will be joined by Justin Williams, Executive Director of the Canadian Energy Museum for the Virtual Talk Last Chance Well.

The Canadian Energy Museum is located on Leduc No.1, National Historic Site, near Leduc, Alberta. Discovered in February 1947, the Leduc No.1 oil well is credited with birthing the energy industry in Alberta, changing the province’s global identity and its place in Canadian history. In this talk, Justin Williams will present the history of Leduc No.1, how this discovery changed Canada and the relationship Alberta has with the rest of the provinces, as well as the legacy of this moment 76 years later.

“We are excited to partner with the Canadian Energy Museum for our first talk of 2023,” says Christina Sydorko, Educational Program Coordinator of the Oil Museum of Canada. “Leduc No.1 represents a very key moment in the expansion of the oil and gas industry in Canada and the impacts from that moment were felt worldwide.”

Virtual talks are free, and registration is required. Learn more about Virtual Talk: Last Chance Well on the Oil Museum website and register online.
