DAVE WERKLUND - UNCONVENTIONAL
One of Alberta’s most successful entrepreneurs, Dave Werklund, is releasing a new book that outlines his incredible life’s journey growing up in rural Northern Alberta and his dedication to industry-leading work as an environmentalist in the province’s oil patch. His autobiography, titled “Unconventional: The Story of An Entrepreneurial Environmentalist Inside Alberta's Oil and Gas Industry,” details Werklund’s early days in Valleyview, Alberta before leaving school in Grade 9 to begin an entrepreneurial life, and ultimately building a multi-billion-dollar company focused on cleaning up oil field waste and pioneering environmental protection techniques. We have had the pleasure of reading Unconventional and highly recommend it. There is great advice on being a leader and entrepreneur. Mark your calendar for March 14 and be sure to pick up a copy!
