I had to work in Okotoks for 2 weeks when I first arrived in Alberta. The terrain there definitely makes for a more interesting visual. Airdrie is just a flat grid that's cut up it's gut by Hwy 2.

The opening of the Deerfoot extension in the last decade is likely the primary reason Okotoks has boomed. Before that, it was a pretty tough slog to get to downtown Calgary.
