No Regrets, No Apologies: The Life of Bob Rintoul

“With Bob, you camp throughout Alberta and Saskatchewan with rough-and-tumble, hard-drinking seismic crews … You bed down in shanty-town bunkhouses after rowdy nights in prairie bars. You survive dangerous winter roads and hole up in farm homes while blizzards blow through …

Bob introduces you to dozens of men and women who helped build a province. He weaves the genesis of their legacies through his chronological account of the dawn of a new western Canadian powerhouse …

When you see this life in full, with “No Regrets and No Apologies,” you will be left with no voids or ambiguities. As always, Bob puts it all on the table—a life laid bare for us all to see and learn from.” –from the Foreword by Ken King, President and CEO, Calgary Flames

BOB RINTOUL was born into depression-era Alberta. He showed an entrepreneurial bent from a young age and grew to become one of the province’s successful businessmen through his company, Ace Explosives. In No Regrets, No Apologies, Bob, a born storyteller, gives an inspired account of his life: a rollicking tale of hard work, sheer determination, novel ideas, and holding fast to what matters in life.

Entrepreneur, oilman and philanthropist Bob Rintoul explains, “I have never sacrificed my principles to satisfy other people. I’m a risk-taker. I try to make life a little better for others as well as our family, and that pretty much summarizes my time on this earth. I’ve done my best.”
