If it weren't for Oil and Gas Edmonton and Calgary would be closer to Regina and Saskatoon then they are to Vancouver and Toronto.

Calgary is a big part of my life, but I'm not in oil and gas, nor do I plan to be either. There's other careers in this city that are just as rewarding as those in oil and gas.
It's the biggest driver of the economy, for sure, but Calgary, and Alberta, are more than just that.
