Lifestyle attractions are evident in Calgary, home to 1.1 million people
um... not yet.
They must be including the population of some surronding communities in that number, like perhaps Airdrie and Okotoks.

I believe the official metro population is around 1.1 million. Toss in the ridiculously excluded communities to the south and east, and the market area is about 1.15-1.20 million.

Really? The last I heard the city was about 950 000. Have we really surpassed a million already?
Although the rate this city grows, we could be closing in on 2 mil when I get a reply. [/b][/quote]
The City of Calgary was at 933,495 as of April 2004. The metro area includes these communities:
Airdrie 25,600 (2004)
MD of Rockyview 35,610 (2004)
Cochrane 12,418 (2004)
Chestermere 6861 (2004)
Crossfield 2676 (2003)
Irricana 1043 (2002)
Beiseker 1444 (2004)
Tsuu T'ina nation 1982 (2001)
Total Metro population: 1,021,129
MD of Foothills, Okotoks, High River and Strathmore, which should be in the metro population total just under 50,000 people. With Black Diamond, Turner Valley and the other smaller communities nearby, the area population is about 1.1 million. Slightly lower than I had thought.
