I believe calgary's SWAT team is composed of a number of officers who are not full time swat and carry other police duties. When a call comes in, they are scattered throughout the city and have to assembly before hand or at the scene. Hence the hour wait time.
Larger cities usually have swat teams that are on standby full time or taking care of warrants/busts/arrests when not needed in a situation.
