Ambassadors Tour The Oilsands

The visitors include ambassadors and high commissioners from a list of countries that includes Algeria, Brunei, Finland, Mexico, Peru and Switzerland. “I think it’s just a further recognition of the global importance of the resource that we have,” Mayor Melissa Blake said this morning. “Quite often you’ll find that the Province of Alberta or Ottawa are very proud of the asset. We’re certainly encouraging people to come and get to know more about what we have here,” the mayor said. The Ottawa-based diplomats -- representing Europe, Africa, South America, the Pacific Rim and the Mideast -- were in Calgary for sessions with provincial officials, tours of businesses and a meeting with Mayor Dave Bronconnier. http://www.fortmcmurraytoday.com/Local%20News/257517.html
