I guess outsiders don't know that Edmonton was North America's third largest meat-packing city (behind Chicago and Toronto) so they don't know about the big hole around Fort Road and Belgravia where meat packers like Burns, Gainers, Swift used to be. There are monuments to the big old smokestacks. Most people assume Edmonton is and always was an oil town, but there are still a few packers around and the stockyards are still going strong.
