The Oil Sands Discovery Centre
Located in Fort McMurray, the Oil Sands Discovery
Centre is a world-class science centre profiling the Alberta oilsands
industry. If you want to know more about innovation within the oilsands,
the discovery centre is a stop you must make. To give you a taste of what
they have on offer, watch the movie "Quest for Energy." This documentary is currently
being updated to reflect the current oilsands boom, because the last
images of the film are out of date. Things progress that fast in the
oilsands industry!
The centre has divided their facilities into sections reflecting the
process of, and innovation that has taken place in, oil extraction. Take
our virtual tour and have a look at the centre, which won a Premiers
Award for Innovation Excellence.
