TESTIMONIALS

“I joined the Calgary Petroleum Club fifteen years ago as my career responsibilities began to broaden. The Club was an obvious fit with my new role as the best place to network and meet others in the Calgary business community. It remains the best place to grow business relationships regardless of your profession. If you want to develop your business and sneak in a little bit of fun, you belong here.”

Paul Murphy

“I joined the Calgary Petroleum Club (CPC) almost four years ago to have a special place to take clients, friends, and family, for breakfast, lunch, dinner and all things in between or simply meet for a beverage after work. The location is convenient, the food is fantastic, and the atmosphere is corporate yet friendly and outgoing. If you are sitting on the fence trying to decide whether to join, take this as a push from me to you to get moving on your application! I look forward to meeting you at the club!”

“6 years back, I became member of CPC within a few weeks of arriving in Calgary. I had moved from Toronto. It was important for me to make new friends and business contacts here. I felt CPC could be a good place to start. And I was right. On my first visit to CPC Toni-Marie, now GM, gave me a tour. Since then I have held and attended many CPC events, business meetings, happy hours and networking evenings at this club. It's my most favourite place for a business lunch. I am always appreciating the special attention and excellent service my guests and I get from each staff of CPC. Thank you.

With the new renovations, the classy sports lounge, dynamic team and staff and service with a smile, CPC is an ideal place for business meetings and socializing. I would highly recommend young and old professionals, self employed or company executives, to become member and enjoy this professional and fun filled club. I am a fan of CPC!! ”

“Thank you again for the great cocktail party last night. There were a ton of people remarking on how good the food was and my boss loved how the room was decorated. He said it was the best party we have had yet!”

OUR HISTORY

Our History

In mid-1948 preparatory and conceptual meetings were held in the Sun Room of the Palliser Hotel for what would become the Calgary Petroleum Club. At this time, the first President of the Club was Mr. John H. Bevel, who was the General Agent for the Canadian Gulf Oil Company. The first Vice-President was Mr. S.F. Heard, President of Royalite Oil Company Limited. In 1949 the Calgary Petroleum Club incorporates under the Societies Act of Alberta.

The Petroleum Club and Renfrew Club merge and continue to operate under the Petroleum Club. After the merger, business was conducted on the second floor of the Motor Car Supply building on Sixth Avenue South West.

In August, 1958 a clubhouse opens at 319 Fifth Avenue South West, where the Club continues to operate today. A second story addition to the building is completed. The Members own both the building and the land. After a fire in the loading dock, that consists, mostly of smoke damage to the rest of the building, restorations to the Club take four and a half months to complete. The billiards room is replaced with the Club’s gem, our Wine Cellar Dining Room.

At the Club’s 2014 Annual General Meeting, a motion is passed to introduce a Young Professionals Membership. Within a year, 150 Members sign up. A $7 – million, four-month rejuvenation of the CPC is completed. We continue to be an inclusive club, offering a vibrant gathering place for our business community. The Club welcomes men and women from all industries and backgrounds to apply for Membership.
