The Case For The Bay Area
As we Albertans look east and west for signs of encouragement in our efforts to turn around our economy, I also recommend looking south, to the San Francisco Bay Area, a place of boundless optimism, where ideas and capital are intersecting in an unprecedented way. Over the past 15 years Russell Kalmacoff and Rockmount have taken a multi-pronged initiative in this regard. We’d be glad to share this experience with you in 2018.
