From Alberta Anger to Atlantic Opportunity
The inside story of the White Rose Oil Project

What if one of Alberta’s most controversial policies helped launch offshore oil in Newfoundland?

The National Energy Program left a lasting scar in Alberta, but it also pushed exploration east, setting the stage for White Rose. An offshore oil drilling project that took 21 years to go from discovery to first oil.

Hear the story from someone who was there.

Walt DeBoni spent 44 years in the petroleum industry and oversaw construction of the offshore production facilities for White Rose. He’ll take you behind the scenes of one of Canada’s most important energy developments, and what it still tells us about pipelines, tidewater access, and Canada’s energy future today.

Since 1907, the Historical Society of Alberta has supported individual researchers, authors and those who wish to know more about our history. They advocate for Alberta’s history and work in partnership with other like-minded organizations and groups.

What if the world’s most celebrated wines weren’t shaped by modern innovation but by monks, working patiently over centuries?

Burgundy, Bourgogne in French, is one of the oldest and most influential wine regions in the world, with roots stretching back over 2,000 years to Roman vineyards. But its true identity was forged in the Middle Ages, when monastic orders like the Cistercians and Benedictines began to study the land with extraordinary care…

The is a free event, pre-purchasing a Trappist beer guarantees you a seat.

For nearly a thousand years, Trappist monks have brewed some of the most revered beers in the world. Not for profit, but to sustain monastic life and support charitable work.

From the quiet abbeys of medieval Europe to the globally celebrated breweries of Belgium and the Netherlands today, Trappist beer represents one of the longest continuous brewing traditions in human history.

Join us on Thursday, March 19th at 6:30 for an engaging and story-driven talk exploring how this remarkable tradition developed. We’ll trace the origins of monastic brewing, the rise of the Cistercian and Trappist orders, and how their disciplined way of life shaped the beers we know today.

Along the way we’ll explore:

• Why monks brewed beer in the first place
• How monasteries became centres of brewing excellence
• The difference between Trappist and Abbey beer
• The unique rules that govern Trappist brewing today
• The stories behind famous monasteries like Westmalle, Chimay, and Orval

This talk is informal, fascinating, and designed for both beer lovers and history enthusiasts alike.
