Calgary is slightly different than the other three though because none of the surrounding suburbs are contiguous. In the other three examples, the only thing that separates one city from the next in many cases is a sign alerting you to that fact. Even Edmonton has St. Albert and Sherwood Park attached right to the city. Calgary simply annexed communities it grew into.
