I haven't been involved in hiring for a long time, but when I was, I always looked at local applicants first. Basically, I figured the out-of-towners sent an application because they really wanted a job, but were probably hoping for somewhere closer to home and we were a backup. The type of job I was hiring for though was a job that was available in any location, we didn't pay great, and it was a charity so we couldn't cover costs to entice people to move to Calgary.
Perhaps something about wanting to move back to Calgary because of.... would help.
Library memberships in Calgary are free, but only for residents of Calgary.
