Carribean Oil Workers and the Building of Alberta's Economy

Saturday, February 07, 2026 - 2:00 PM

Running Time: 2 hours

Audience: All Ages

From the 1960s to the 1990s, Alberta's oil sands industry underwent a dramatic transformation. Its focus was rural northern Fort McMurray, Alberta's crown jewel. With infusions of song, dance, and live music, this presentation tells the story of the often under-recognized recruitment of skilled workers from the Carribean, trained in British universities and technical schools.
