1980
Christopher H. Hopkins (MBA), in keeping with his absolute belief in Canada’s tremendous non-conventional energy potential, resigned from Oilsands Quest Inc. to found Canshale Corp. as its President and CEO. The Canshale mission is to establish Saskatchewan’s first commercial oil shale mining operation. Chris founded Oilsands Quest Inc. in 2004, when he and his team established Saskatchewan’s presence in the Canadian oil sands industry with the development of the Axe Lake Project. In 1999, he co-founded Synenco Energy Inc., discovering and initiating the development of their Northern Lights Project. Chris and his wife Edna continue to live in Calgary, although Victoria, BC, may soon be beckoning.
