As someone who currently resides in the US I'd say it's sort of hit or miss as to whether people know where/what Calgary is. Some people know immediately, some people know by reference (Banff, Stampede etc.), and some people have to be told that it's north of Montana (which occasionally leads to an explanation of where Montana is).
Calgary isn't internationally known in the same sense as Toronto of course, but I'd say that the majority of people who are somewhat worldly are familiar with it.
