Bravo to you sir, I tip my hat! You keep hearing how Calgarians are such kind and helpful people yet when it comes to sharing their communities with the less fortunate/desirable services they usually become an instant-NIMBY. It's great to see this selflessness! Maybe the residents of Elboya could learn a thing from you...
