Alberta's oil sands developments are a virtually endless source of new adventures. Here are some of the activities you and your family will enjoy on your Alberta vacation.

Diversion Surfing
 
Alberta's oil production plants divert 92 billion gallons of fresh water from Alberta rivers each year. That's almost twice the amount used in a year by the entire city of Austin, Texas! Come catch the perfect wave, Alberta style.
Tailing Sailing
 
The leftover, now highly toxic water, is stored in man-made lakes called "tailing ponds." These ponds are so dangerous that oil companies use cannons and scarecrows to keep ducks and birds from dying on the oil-slicked surface. When catching the strong winds on these ponds, be sure not to capsize!
A Man-Made Wonder of the World
 
You've seen pictures of the Great Wall of China, the Colosseum, the Taj Mahal, and Machu Pichu? Now see the newest wonder of the world for yourself. As large as 12,000 football fields and clearly visible from space, the oil sands toxic tailing ponds of Alberta are one of the largest man-made structures in the world. With the only industry planning to quadruple production, this wonder is only getting larger. Come celebrate this wondrous achievement!
