No, unfortunately it is only available to EnCana employees, family members, authorized personnel, and authorized tour groups. I'm hoping my buddy can get me on a tour group. I'll take a set of pictures so big it will crash the SSP servers lmao!



Here's a great pic of Calgary...

Hey Chad, I think anyone who's an employee there can get you in, as long as they arrange ahead of time. My sister has taken some of her friends up there.

Those Montreal photos are absolutely gorgeous. Montreal's public realm is still unrivaled in Canada and one of the very best on the continent. Everything from the pavement, to the lamp posts, to the street sign is as good as it gets. And that backdrop of historic buildings doesn't get much better either. It's perfection.

Great set Martin! A few of these really capture the essence of the urban fabric that make old montreal such a gem.

That "British Empire Building" in Old Montreal is stunning. Well, the whole thing is, really

Lots of beautiful photos from what was once Newfoundland's second-largest city (now in fourth place) and the only city on her west coast. You can see its one highrise, the impressive residential areas, and the downtown core.

Corner brook has such a beautiful natural setting, as does the west coast in general. The mountains and deciduous trees are the pride of the west coast, while the east coast has a rugged, barren beauty. I wish Corner Brook had grown to be a city of at least 100,000. It's a town with a beautiful natural setting and great potential... Maybe in another universe it grew to meet that potential

When the rest of the world runs out of space and we colonize other planets in other galaxies for our billions upon billions of humans, then maybe Corner Brook will break 25,000. But, yeah, it's a pity (in a topographical beauty sense) that we were settled facing Britain instead of North America. If St. John's was on the west coast, it'd be more beautiful and strategically located for our current political situation.

Same in Ireland, really (though Dublin's side of the island is still the better one strategically). The most beautiful part of the country is in the west - but all the people live in the east.
