The Venerable Petroleum Club


Ahhhh, you can just smell the fine leather chairs and feel the oak panelled walls of this bastion of old Calgary oil wealth. Rub shoulders with the leaders of the most powerful corporations in Canada.

At least that's what it says on their web site. This is as close as I can get.

But, alas, nothing stays the same. In this upside down topsy turvy world of ours, the Petroleum Club shockingly has been forced to bow to modern pressures. They announced they are no longer allowing smoking. But are allowing women!! Ahhhh!!!! When will the madness stop?!
