Calgary Metropolitan Region, Metropolitan region in Alberta, Canada
The Calgary Metropolitan Region encompasses eight municipalities across 5,107 square kilometers, including the cities of Calgary, Airdrie, and Chestermere in southern Alberta.
The region developed from a North-West Mounted Police fort in 1875 into a major urban center following the arrival of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1883.
The population of 1.6 million residents represents numerous ethnic backgrounds, with English, French, Arabic, and Tagalog among the languages spoken throughout the communities.
The Calgary International Airport serves as the fourth busiest transportation hub in Canada, connecting the region to destinations across the world.
The Calgary Metropolitan Region Board, established in 2018, manages coordinated planning for infrastructure, housing, and environmental protection across all member municipalities.
