Eight examples of Alberta’s engineering expertise around the world

Posted on by

Engineers have been quite literally responsible for building this province and its most important landmarks, from elegant buildings like the new Children’s Hospital in Calgary to every manner of energy infrastructure in the oil sands.

This will be my final written post before I send a worldwide press release regarding the greatest real estate boom of all time. It will be the classic case of an irrepressible force (the internet) meeting an immovable object (planet earth). I do not know what lies ahead except that if you want something you have never had, you must do something you have never done. I wish to personally thank a number of individuals and my family for their support in making this project possible. There is also someone whom I have never met and wish to express my gratitude for showing me how to defy and challenge the impossible. To Roberto Baggio whose superstar performance at USA 94 inspired me to believe that one day, I would also give everything I have and take on the entire world. Forza Baggio, Forza Azzurri, Forza Italia!!
