Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi said Monday that it’s a good example of how doing business in Calgary is worthwhile.
“Let’s be clear, there have been a lot of layoffs as well,” he said.
“I’m not sure this turns into a net positive [jobs] number. But certainly, the more people you have in downtown Calgary, the better it is for the coffee shops and the dry cleaners and everyone else who has businesses here.”
