The Okotoks Air Park is under construction right now. The downside is the runway is only 3000’. The upside is it is a nice little town.

Here’s an interesting little “Canadian-ism” I’ve noticed. We all measure distance in time it takes you to drive someplace.

Q. How far from Calgary to Vancouver?
A. 12 hours.

Q. How far from Edmonton to Calgary?
A. 3 Hours.

I think it is because distances are so large as to be meaningless. We know we have to get there anyway, so all we care about is how long it is going to take us to get there.

These are my thoughts not yours. I want credit for this when you point it out to your friends too. J
