He was the Eco-Initiatives Manager for the Calgary Folk Festival for five years and now sits on the festival’s Board of Directors. He is also a co-organizer of TEDxYYC and holds a B.Comm. from Ryerson University.
In 2012, Leor was recognized as a Top 40 Under 40 by Avenue Magazine and a Compelling Calgarian by the Calgary Herald. In 2011, he received the YMCA Peace Medal for Humanitarianism.
Alison met Leor almost a decade ago when they both worked at Nexen. They connected over the importance of corporate social responsibility. They know first hand how gaining a social license for oil, gas and renewable energy projects is the only way, in this new economy, to get our natural resources to markets.
Craig Dunn joins the campaign’s evening discussion series again. He’ll discuss how to increase profitability of existing oil & gas wells and re-purpose Foothills abandoned and suspended wells to make them into community centre-pieces that can feed and fuel the local economy.
Come and learn more about how to unlock Alberta’s and Canada’s wealth!

Craig Dunn

He is the co-founder of multiple organizations in a variety of fields, including geopower exploration, technology and social good; as a father of two, he is always thinking of the world that we are leaving for the next generation. He lives by the idea that “Make beautiful ideas reality and the world will follow”.
After moving to Calgary and working in the environmental sector, Mr. Dunn got his first taste of what the energy industry was all about. In 2003, Mr. Dunn founded WellDunn Consulting, a geological consulting firm for the oil and gas industry in both conventional and unconventional oil and gas exploration across the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin.
Mr. Dunn was one of key personnel involved with the resurgence of the Canadian Geothermal Energy Association (CanGEA) on the board of directors and as the Outreach Director. His work has helped to establish CanGEA’s education program, helped to promote a national study for geothermal potential in Canada and co-authored many geothermal reports.
His work with CanGEA, led him to his role as founder and Chief Geologist with Borealis Geopower. He is considered one of the leading experts and pioneers in geothermal energy exploration and development initiatives in Canada. Mr. Dunn supplies both project management and geological expertise for the development of high temperature geothermal energy. Borealis Geopower has multiple ongoing geothermal power projects across Western Canada working to bring the first Geopower projects online.
Hot Stuff: Alison has worked with Craig in the geothermal energy sector since 2007 when they connected over the need to bring awareness of this energy resource to the Canadian public and government. Both are frequent contributors to the national media and accomplished public speakers on the role of geothermal energy in the economy.
