Unconventional: The Story of An Entrepreneurial Environmentalist Inside Alberta's Oil and Gas Industry

In this biography, Dave Werklund tells how he grew up on a farm, left school in Grade 9, and then built a multi-billion-dollar business in Alberta to clean up oil waste and pollution. As an environmentalist working in the oil business, Werklund argues that Alberta has among the most stringent environmental standards anywhere in the oil world. Yet like everyone in the Alberta oil business, Werklund has faced disaster. His came in the form of financial ruin when he lost control of his oil services company and watched it plummet into bankruptcy, wiping out half of his billion-dollar net worth. Yet Werklund rebounded, both in business and as a philanthropist. This is the story of the man who embodies the spirit of entrepreneurialism in Calgary.
