The summer of 2008 marked the 150th anniversary of the first
Discovery of Oil in North America. Oil discovery, oil production and
refining took place in our very own Enniskillen Township, more
specifically in the towns of Oil Springs and Petrolia situated just
west of London Ontario. These activities of the late 1800’s were
surrounded by a frenzie similar to the famous gold rushes of the late
1800’s. Local events included “Black Gold Extravaganza” in April
and a “Commemorative Stamp Launch” in May of 2008. These
were part of the efforts to celebrate and commemorate some of what is
considered the most important world events of the 19th and 20th
centuries. For more information go to

In addition, The Lambton County Museums
and Fairbank Oil Properties of Petrolia and Oil Springs jointly
supported the writing and recording of a suite of songs to reflect the
importance and the significance of oil discovery in Canada. As a result
my second cd was released in early Spring 2008. The project was the
focus of my writing on this important Canadian history resulting in a
10 song cd under the direction of the accomplished
singer/songwriter and producer James Gordon of Guelph, Ontario.
