 The
history of Canada’s petroleum industry is dynamic,
with massive development in the 20th century. The
current expansion of all facets of the industry has
placed Canada as the third-largest producer of
natural gas and the ninth-largest producer of crude
oil in the world. The status of the petroleum
industry in each province can be traced back to the
history of the building of the railroad. The
featured article deals with the emergence of
industry in Canada and the Canadian Pacific
Railway’s land grants leading to the development of
the petroleum industry. The article also gives an
introduction to the major sites that shaped the
history of the industry in Canada.
