"Well, you know, we're part of the city," she said. "It's been a challenging year for all of us in the oilpatch." Calgary Food Bank CEO James McAra said the donation will go a long way in what's shaping up to be a tough several months ahead. "I love the commitment that Suncor has to making things better here in Calgary," he said. Every $1 donation to the food bank can be turned into $5 worth of food, McAra said. The food bank drive runs until Dec. 24. Click here to donate to the Calgary Food Bank.
