  • The Calgary Region is the metropolitan area based around Calgary, Alberta. The borders of this area are defined differently for each of the Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) and the Calgary Region. The area is a major transportation hub for southern Alberta, Saskatchewan, eastern British Columbia, and parts of the northern United States. It is served by the Calgary International Airport, the third busiest airport in the country. Unlike many major North American urbanized areas, yet similarily to other prairie centres in Canada, Calgary developed as a unicity as it incorporated most of its suburbs into the city proper. In the past, when the city limits reached the borders of neighbouring municipalities, such as Bowness, Montgomery and Midnapore, they were simply annexed into the population of Calgary. As Calgary's city limits encroach north of the airport to Airdrie and eastward to Chestermere, it is highly unlikely that these populous centres will meet the same fate as did their predecessors. Still, the vast majority of the region's 1.2 million inhabitants reside within the City of Calgary (proper) and its civic population has itself well surpassed the 1,000,000 mark.
