Calgary is the largest city in the
province of
Alberta,
Canada. It is located in the south of the province, in a region of foothills and
high plains, approximately east of the front ranges of the
Canadian Rockies. Calgary is the third largest civic municipality,
by population, in Canada. As of the 2007 civic census, Calgary's population was 1,019,942. The metropolitan population (
CMA) was 1,079,310 in 2006, making
Greater Calgary the fifth largest
Census Metropolitan Area in the country. Because it is located 300 kilometres (185 mi) due south of

Calgary-Edmonton Corridor". It is the largest Canadian
metropolitan area between
