I don't have a link but there was an article in the Calgary Herald saying that 1 in 5 People in Calgary believe there is a link between autism and vaccination.
Edit, found it:

One in five Albertans believe some vaccines can cause autism, according to a new poll that suggests a big segment of the population is wary about a perceived medical side-effect that has been widely debunked by scientists.
As cities across North America report outbreaks of measles — a preventable disease — the Mainstreet Technologies survey asked Alberta residents to delve into the vaccination debate.
The telephone poll of 2,838 respondents found that 21 per cent completely or somewhat agreed that some vaccines can cause autism, compared to 61 per cent who rejected this view. The rest were undecided, according to the survey, conducted Wednesday.
The results mirror what Mainstreet found in Ontario, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. In each province, more than 2o per cent of respondents said they believe there is a correlation between vaccines and autism, a neurological disorder, said Quito Maggi, president of the polling firm.

Also appears to be Alberta not just calgary.
