Calgary, Alberta — December 27, 2013 –– Tow trucking is a high-risk profession under normal circumstances, let alone during treacherous wintertime disasters that dump huge quantities of snow on the ground in cities such as Calgary, or more recently the environmentally traumatic ice-storms that left many across Ontario, Quebec and the Maritime provinces without power.

Frenette works as a rover in the city-wide program that services four of Calgary’s major roads, including Deerfoot Trail, Glenmore Trail, Crowchild Trail and Memorial Drive.
