When was oil first discovered in Alberta?

1947
1903
1935
1951

The correct answer is: 1947

The correct answer is A 1947. This is the year when the first significant oil reserves were discovered in Alberta, marking the beginning of the province's oil industry. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they are not the earliest significant oil discoveries in Alberta. Option B: 1903 refers to the first minor oil discovery in Alberta. Option C: 1935 refers to the discovery of oil in Turner Valley, which was significant but not the first in Alberta. Option D: 1951 refers to the discovery of the Pembina oil field, which was significant but also not the first in Alberta. It is important to note that oil has been known to Indigenous peoples in the region for centuries, but large-scale production did not begin until the discovery in 1947.
