Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

 This fun tradition celebrates Irish culture, and is a great excuse to go celebrate with friends on a work night. In the spirit of St. Patrick himself, people are encouraged to fight for what they believe in, and seek unification through common goals.

It's no secret that we love Calgary. This is a city that is easy to adore and romanticize. It may not be perfect, but at Team Ken Richter, we are so proud to call ourselves Calgarian.

Here are just a few of the things we love about Calgary:
