I left Calgary for Red Deer 9 years ago and I wouldn't move back to the big city if you tripled my salary. Red Deer has everything you would want in a city except the traffic, NHL hockey and maybe a Bass Pro Shop.
I can get to work in under 10 minutes, I know most of my neighbors and have a big yard. Just 3 of many things I couldn't say about Calgary life.
Nice pace of life, smaller town feel with big city amenities. Works for me.

I live in Edmonton...it has nothing to do with comparing it to Calgary. I just haven't had the best interactions every people from Red Deer. Kind of like how people from Lethbridge are all old, or college kids. In my experience people from Red Deer are all mouth breathers. And that includes the ones I'm related too.
