"Lambton County could soon be home to Ontario's first working industrial heritage conservation district.
A county council standing committee voted today to back creation of the district covering historic oil fields straddling Oil Springs and Enniskillen Township.
Under the Ontario Heritage Act, the district would give the two local councils power to preserve important physical features — such as jerker lines and pump houses — remaining from the the birth of North America's oil industry.
The proposal goes to county council Nov. 24."
