I typically say CalGary. If it wanted to be called Calgree it should have been called Calgree.

CAL-gree and CalGARY are both wrong.

It’s CAL-gu-ree.

I feel like the most common pronunciation has been shifting from Cal-gu-ree to Cal-gree over the years.

Moved here from Ontario or farther East?

It's a Scottish-origin name - Calgree or cal-gu-ree are the correct pronunciations.
