Simon will focus on the environmental impacts of in situ (in place) development of deep oil sands, suggesting that SAGD development has the potential to affect a forested region 50 times larger than the areas leased for oil sands mining north of Fort McMurray.</p><p><strong>Details:</strong> The event will take place on Wednesday January 10th, 5:30- 7:30 PM, Simon Dyer will start his talk at 6 p.m.</p><p><strong>Location:</strong> Basement of <a href="http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=l&amp;hl=en&amp;q=ceili&amp;near=803+8+ave+sw+calgary+alberta&amp;sll=51.048031,-114.078941&amp;sspn=0.024336,0.072098&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;ei=8sCaRf6pIoPgqwKqjvz3BQ&amp;cid=51045865,-114078885,14543145553150532184&amp;li=lmd&amp;z=14&amp;t=m">Ceili&#39;s 2</a> (<a href="http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=l&amp;hl=en&amp;q=ceili&amp;near=803+8+ave+sw+calgary+alberta&amp;sll=51.048031,-114.078941&amp;sspn=0.024336,0.072098&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;ei=8sCaRf6pIoPgqwKqjvz3BQ&amp;cid=51045865,-114078885,14543145553150532184&amp;li=lmd&amp;z=14&amp;t=m">803 - 8th Ave SW</a>, Calgary). <br /> </p><p><strong>Costs:</strong> Free to YEP members, $5 for non-members.
