Canada holds 61 trillion cubic feet of proven natural gas reserves.

These days when you pull into a service station it's not just a matter of fueling up. You can shop for groceries, get some fast food, do your banking, you name it. It's all about marketing to the customer, and service stations are designed with that in mind. Working behind the scenes is Julie Jolicoeur, a project manager for Imperial Oil. Julie manages service station construction projects from the development process through to completed construction.

Did you know? The first successful oil well was discovered in Ontario in 1858.

Julie makes more than $55,000 a year. Her project management skills could get her a job in almost any other industry.
