Airdrie is one of Canada's fastest-growing cities, but behind the boom is a battle for its soul. Why are local businesses struggling to survive amidst record population growth? Why are residents still driving to Calgary to spend their money? Marilyne Aalhus, the Executive Director of the Airdrie & Region Chamber of Commerce, pulls back the curtain on the real challenges and opportunities facing our city—from employment and transportation to the fight for a downtown core and a stronger local identity.

In a quiet Airdrie garage, Brandon Hegedus is doing the impossible. He's not just restoring cars; he's building legendary Ferraris and vintage race cars from nothing but tubing, carbon fiber, and a relentless passion. This is the story of how a self-taught kid from Calgary went from building go-karts in his dad's garage to quitting his stable job to follow an insane dream—and build a life he loves.
