I know that in this case they were more specific by saying the station name, but far too often the headline and lead-in are only slightly more informative than saying that something happened somewhere in Calgary. /rant

I made a map for other purposes that I'll share. Basically, the thinking is that quadrants or north/south are too broad, and include too many types of places to use to describe areas of Calgary

I think using these areas (give or take) to describe the location of somewhere in Calgary makes a lot more sense than simply SW, NW, NE, or SE.
