September 2010 Luncheon
Canada’s Oil Sands: Debunking the Myths
Canada’s oil sands are a controversial topic and virtually every newsmaker and layperson seems to have an
opinion about this 179 billion barrel resource. The oil sands represent 97 per cent of Canada’s remaining oil
reserves but misinterpretation and misrepresentation of the facts are threatening development of a resource
that generates significant employment and tax revenue for Canadians. Join Don Thompson, President of the Oil
Sands Developers Group, as he dispels the myths about Canada’s oil sands and presents an alternative
perspective on an industry that can play a critical role in North America’s economic recovery.
