2013 was a lot of corporate assistance giving back to the community which I will never forget. I remember a giant field in southern Alberta filled with heavy vehicles and equipment like an army depot from all the O&G companies rallying to help drain water out of people's homes and clear out their flooded homes. Hundreds of downtown corporate employees volunteered to pitch in and help the community recover from the flood. I remember going into people's basements with all the free PPE the companies provided with a bunch of IT and accountants to help dig someone out and suck all the mud out of their home. The municipal government would never have been able to organize and pay for something on that scale.
Sadly, that was likely a product of an O&G economy flush with cash which we will likely not see again.
