From Springbank High School to Jumping pound gas plant

Did you know? (ref: history.alberta.ca)

"At the time it was discovered, the natural gas field at Jumping Pound, 30 km (19 mi.) west of Calgary, near Cochrane, Alberta, was the largest gas reservoir in Canada. That is not, however, all that made the Jumping Pound site significant. This gas field, deep in the Rocky Mountain foothills, was also the first to be discovered as a result of seismic mapping and the first to undertake sulfur reclamation as a way to sweeten its hazardous sour gas."
