Movie Opening This Weekend Has Petrolia Connection
Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark opens in theatres this weekend and there is a local connection.

Built in the 1800’s, it has 22 rooms and is also known as Sunnyside Mansion. John Henry Fairbank was one of Canada’s first oil barons. His family has pumped oil on its Oil Springs property since 1861.
Pretty cool, right?
