I know they have their HAWCS hanger there which is a big deal. All I found online was this from the city of Calgary

Calgary is one of the busiest airports in Canada and is unique in some aspects because of all of the residential areas that are in a very close proximity to the airport proper. The HAWCS crew is very fortunate to have a very good working relationship with the air traffic controllers that allow us to operate, when necessary, very close to the airport.
