The Calgary CMA, as defined by Statistics Canada, includes the following nine municipalities:[3]

• three cities (Airdrie, Calgary and Chestermere);
• one municipal district (Rocky View County, which includes Langdon – the CMA's largest hamlet);
• three towns (Cochrane, Crossfield, and Irricana);
• one village (Beiseker); and
• one First Nations reserve (Tsuu T'ina Nation, which includes the Townsite of Redwood Meadows).

The CRP's current membership includes three cities (Airdrie, Calgary and Chestermere), nine towns (Banff, Black Diamond, Canmore, Cochrane, Irricana, Nanton, Okotoks, Strathmore, and Turner Valley), and one townsite (Redwood Meadows).[8][9] Of these thirteen municipalities, four of the ten towns (Banff, Canmore, Nanton, and Strathmore) are outside, but in proximity to, the Calgary Region's boundaries as defined in this article. Of the remaining six towns, three of them (Black Diamond, Okotoks, and Turner Valley) are outside of the Calgary CMA boundaries as defined by Statistics Canada.
