use a 3rd party provider ... there are a number in town that provide the warehouse space, staff, technology and expertise. you will pay for storage, picking of the product and shipping, but it will be scalable to your enterprise and wont require locking into contracts, leases or capital investments.
do a google search for 3pl + calgary.
there is no reason to take on all that overhead and more importantly oversight. all your efforts should be focused on selling your goods, not learning how to manage a warehouse and inventory.
just my two cents as someone who has been in the 3pl/logistics business for almost 20 years.
