I'm not particularly worried about the commute either. My drive in to work right now is 20 minutes, but the drive home is consistently 30-40 minutes. It may take me 10 minutes longer if we are in Okotoks.
There's an early morning commuter bus from Okotoks to, I think, downtown Calgary.

Or take the train.

I think there are studies that show anything over 30 minutes for a commute gets increasingly tougher to handle, minute by additional minute.

Its probably the one factor that would prevent you from making the move. But, as I said, thousands do that drive out of Okotoks every day.
