Fyi - I suspect this opportunity is based in Calgary, Canada. It’s a very nice city right next to the mountains. Think of it as Colorado Springs north. 

Big sports town (football, skiing, speed skating, hockey, others). Host to a number of Olympic sports training facilities. Has also hosted the Winter Olympics back in 1988.

For those with OpenVMS backgrounds noted above and want to work in a large mission critical OpenVMS App environment that supports millions of Customers, this is likely an excellent opportunity.
