Canadian oil ghost town is for sale!
PEACE RIVER, Alberta, Canada (PNN) - July 30, 2016 - In a shocking example of the fallout from low oil prices coupled with years of easy-money-enabled malinvestment, the collapse of Canada's non-conventional oil production has forced a northern Alberta oil-boom-town to be put up for auction, including 1200 person accommodation work-camp, hospital, gym, running track, and waste-water treatment plant.
After 55 years in business, "nothing really comes close in sheer physical size to this unique asset we're selling by private treaty: a 1,200-person workforce accommodation camp located approximately 50km north east of Peace River, AB, Canada," says Ritchie Brothers.
Imagine a camp the size of a small town, but with all the modern conveniences of the big city: full-service dining, medical clinic, modern living suites, bar/lounge and recreation suites, and wireless Internet.
This work camp has a fully equipped gym complex complete with indoor running track, squash courts, weights and aerobic equipment. The camp even has its own power and utilities system.
The fully equipped, professional-grade kitchen and dining facility located in the core complex is capable of catering to all 1,232 hungry residents in just 1.5 hours!
Plus, the complex also features a commissary, training areas & offices, medical bay and treatment rooms, the bar/lounge area, and rec room complete with golf simulators, pool tables, table tennis, foosball, and more. "Roughing it" doesn't even cross your mind in this camp.
Who would buy such a massive item? Any billionaire preppers out there looking for an all-in-one habitat for their own private army in the middle of Montana? Or perhaps Angela Merkel is looking for a self-contained refugee shelter?
