ATCO CELEBRATES 100 YEARS

Helping ATCO celebrate its 100th anniversary on Wednesday, July 18 seemed only natural for Viking which itself sprang into gas fame early on the morning of Nov. 4, 1914 when drillers at the Viking gas well struck a massive gas flow.

Residents gathered at the Community Hall Wednesday evening to enjoy a community barbecue, compliments of ATCO, and a very entertaining Vaudevillian musical comedy which followed ATCO’s history, explaining the vital role natural gas has played in this province.
