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.
Well, not exactly. The difference being that unlike Suncor, Imperial and the other large corporate entities in Calgary the Flames do not employ thousands—nor even hundreds—of the city's residents.
