Bruno Lamarre said… - Calgary runs a pretty good Dept. My wife has family out there and we try and make it out at least once a year.
They have a pretty sweet training division, worth the visit, if you have time. They run some very nice rigs. Staffing seems to be quite the hot topic, or it was a year ago. They still have minimum staffing issues in the stations that run more then one rig. They have used pre-fabricated temporary stations as the city is growing so fast.
If you have the chance, and want to try the best restaurant in all of western north america drive down to the Longview Steakhouse, 102 Morisson Road, Longview (403-558-2000). It's about an hour south of calgary but worth the drive. You will need reservations cause it's tiny.
Bon Voyage!
