Oil Sands Issues: In theatre, writing and discussion

Oil sands development is a controversial topic. A unique event to be held at Ottawa’s Carleton University this week will use a combination of formats to draw the audience into the issue.

Starting with a live original theatre production of Highway 63: The Fort Mac Show, Emergency Architect Theatre will explore the diverse voices of Fort McMurray and uncover the stories behind the headlines.
Journalist and best-selling author Andrew Nikiforuk will offer his insights on the oil sands based on two decades of writing about energy and economics, and his latest book Tar Sands: Dirty Oil and the Future of a Continent.
Finally, the event will feature a panel discussion with the two co-sponsors: Dr. Jay Drydek from Carleton University’s Centre on Values and Ethics and Janet Keeping, president, Sheldon Chumir Foundation for Ethics in Leadership.
For more information about this free opportunity on October 15th, visit the Sheldon Chumir Foundation for Ethics in Leadership and the Carleton University Centre on Values and Ethics.
