And secondly are they any more charitable then other businesses in Calgary. Your Suncor and Imperial make massive charitable donations.

So while any charity is good are the flames a leader in charity?
Not sure of the breakdown of their contributions.


That's one way of looking at the organization, like any other business/good corporate citizen. So along those lines, losing the Flames would be like Suncor and Imperial relocating their head offices and taking all of their local charitable donations with them. Regardless of whether they are any better or worse, it would still represent a significant net loss.
