Okotoks was part of the group that went with NRCan to Europe to look at alternatives. Okotoks also had a sustainability plan complete within their community. The solar energy capabilities of the location of Okotoks, with all those three issues—this opportunity to partner with NRCan and the federal government, and the funding that we could get from that to test this project and technology—became the driving factor behind using this type of technology to experiment and test the viability of it and see if we could push the envelope. It really is a demonstration project. That's why this technology was used in Okotoks.
