An Inside Look at Oil and Gas

The Business & IT Department was pleased to host Mr. Steve VanSickle for a series of presentations to the Business students at Brentwood. Arriving on an early morning flight from Calgary, Mr. VanSickle talked first with the Grade Nine 21st Century Studies classes and later to the Entrepreneurship 12, Financial Accounting 12, and the Economics 12AP classes. This is the second year that Mr. VanSickle has volunteered to talk with the Brentwood students. The President and CEO of Fairborne Energy, he gave the students a good but all-too-brief insight into the Oil and Gas marketplace and his experiences in this global industry. His presentations looked at economic, environmental and government issues related to the world’s great need for oil and gas. His opinions were well received and left the staff and students much to think about and will definitely spark further discussion in all classes.
