点评:Petrolia Discovery has been closed for several days due to bad air quality. Fair enough, as it is all outdoors. The say on their website to watch the website as they will update every morning as well as watching their FB site.
No update on Sunday morning (nor in the evening), nor on FB. There they say: "We will be closed Saturday July 18th but Sunday looks like a perfect day to visit."
Hmm - Sunday morning there is still a yellow warning out by weather.gc.ca
We drove by anyway so nothing lost to go and check. 10:40 am - gate still closed. Perhaps we are at the staff entrance so go and look. No, we are correct and yes, they are open but forgot to open the gate??
As mentioned we still have a yellow warning for poor air quality but nobody of the staff wears a respirator. I understood they are concerned about the staff's health?
We get a tour through the historically very interesting site (5/5) but sadly the tour guide (2/5) has just memorised their text. Questions can hardly be answered which irritates.
Not knowing how many litres there are in a barrel I ask: "1 gallon".
??
That would just be a bit more than four litres.
The tour guide seems puzzled about my response.
They are still pumping oil to this day, i.e. a mixture of oil and water: "The water is flammable."
??
Yes, because of the minerals in it like iron.
As a volunteer: Why are you volunteering if you do not seem to be interested in the subject?
As a student on a summer job: ...pfff ....
P.S.
I write this on Monday night. The website still says they are closed due to poor air.
翻译:由于空气质量不佳,Petrolia Discovery已关闭数日。这也情有可原,毕竟所有活动都在户外进行。他们在网站上说明,请随时关注网站更新,他们每天早上都会发布最新信息,同时也可关注他们的Facebook页面。
然而周日早上(晚上亦是如此)网站和Facebook上均无任何更新。他们在网上写道:“7月18日周六我们将闭园,但周日似乎是游览的绝佳日子。”
嗯——周日早上,加拿大气象局依然发布了黄色预警。反正我们已经开车经过那里了,去看看也没什么损失。上午10点40分——大门仍然关着。也许我们现在所在的位置是员工入口,于是我们又去查看了一下。不,我们没走错地方;大门确实开着,但工作人员大概是忘了打开大门吧??
如前所述,目前我们地区仍有空气质量不佳的黄色预警,但没有任何工作人员佩戴呼吸防护装置。我明白他们是在担心员工的健康状况吧?
我们参观了这个历史上非常有意思的地点(满分5分,我给5分),但遗憾的是,导游(满分5分,我给2分)只是死记硬背了讲解词而已。几乎无法回答我们提出的问题,这真让人恼火。
由于不知道一桶油有多少升,我问道:“1加仑吧。”
??
其实1加仑只相当于4升多一点而已。
我的回答似乎让导游有些困惑。
直到今天,他们仍在继续抽油呢,也就是说……油和水的混合物:“水竟然会燃烧。”
??
会的,因为水中含有铁等矿物质。
作为志愿者:既然你似乎对这个主题不感兴趣,为什么还要做志愿者呢?
作为暑期打工的学生:……哼……
附言:
我是在周一晚上写下这些的。网站上仍然写着由于空气质量差而暂停营业。
