Hello!
Hello!
I'M ROBBIE PICARD
Energy advocate, Marketer & public speaker
From humble beginnings in Saskatchewan to international renown as one of the world’s most vocal pro-oil sands activists, Robbie Picard has never backed away from a fight.
Building a Movement
Whether as a key element of the “I (heart) Oil Sands” movement or “Oil Sands Strong”, the brand he independently created, Robbie has found his passion in not just defending but promoting the Alberta oil sands industry. Fearless when confronting misinformation, Robbie has boldly challenged oil sands detractors from Neil Young to Jane Fonda. The video of Robbie confronting Fonda has been viewed around the world and set the stage for dialogue on the role celebrities should – or should not – play when industry and environment meet.

Robbie has been invited to speak across Canada as he continues his oil sands advocacy; he is a trusted advisor to many in the industry and acts as a connector between the oil sands and a world that remains reliant on oil production.
