Sad to hear an up and coming business left YEG. I'm not sure if Edmonton Global really is supposed to be doing exit interviews. Isn't their role FDI? Presumably, someone should be doing exit interviews but maybe it would be better done by someone like Edmonton Unlimited? And of course that...

Overdue for sure.
