I deal with Scalar in vancouver (https://www.scalar.ca/en/), I know they have an office in Calgary but do not know if they have a data center but I would imagine so. Costs can very wildly depending on what you want to do. Obviously there are charges for rack space, power and AC but also the level of service you require.

Fiber would be a separate charge and depending on the size of the pipe it is not cheap. Not sure what the dark fiber is like in Calgary but a 1GB connection in vancouver is roughly $1500, that is just for the fiber no internet connectivity. I deal with Optic Zoo in Vancouvver, no idea if they are in Calgary. But Shaw would be an ok place to start on the fiber side.
