I'm actually floored by what he's contributed to

He is one of the founders, with a contribution of $10 Million, to St. Mary's University College and was named an Honorary Fellow in 2004.
Commencing in 1992, the Allan P. Markin Engineering Entrance Awards give out 150 scholarships of $1,000 each at the University of Alberta.
Markin and CNRL were major donors of $3 Million each to the University of Alberta's Markin/CNRL Natural Resources Engineering Facility opened in October 2004.
On September 16, 2004, he donated the largest gift in the history of the University of Calgary – $18 million – to allow the university to establish the Institute for Public Health.
etc etc,
