Echoes of Industry: A Walk Through Imperial Oils Refinery Land

Calgary welcomed the industry as oil was shaping the western Canadian landscape. In the 1950s, however, the expansion faced much community resistance. Come walk through the former refinery lands and learn the history including its relationship to Deerfoot Trail and Ralph Klein. This walk is led by Laura Combden, a Calgary filmmaker with an interest in community and local history.
