Building on the overwhelming success of last year’s inaugural event, the Regional Economic Developers is collaborating to bring the second edition of the Peace Oil Sands (POS) Conference May 1st, 2nd and 3rd, 2012 at the Belle Petroleum Centre in Peace River, AB. The North Peace is positioned to expand its industry as a cluster strategically located to service oil and gas developments into the future.

The POS Conference is a platform for major oil companies and service companies to showcase existing and upcoming developments in the area.  Opportunities will be identified from this process and implemented within the planning context of the North Peace municipalities, industries and communities.
