When we relocated to our new Edmonton Headquarters, our long-term vision included an efficiency target that would allow us to streamline the business to be able to serve all our Alberta customers from our newer, all-under-one-roof, larger headquarters building in Edmonton. With that efficiency target met, we made the decision to permanently close our Calgary facility in line with the start of our Fiscal 25 year.
