Although Toronto is Canada’s business heart, it’s Calgary—featuring the country’s youngest population and home to its oil industry-forged entrepreneurialism—that’s always been the challenger. People here walk with the velocity of New Yorkers and cut to the chase like Texans.
The challenge in this city of risk-takers has always been to even things out by diversifying away from fossil fuels, building an economically resilient hometown for a place that ranks #13 globally in our People category, including #17 for Educational Attainment and #22 for Foreign-Born Population (up two spots from last year). New projects, like the recently opened Central Library in the burgeoning cultural hub of East Village, reinforce the city’s long-lauded quality of life.
Calgary, Alberta has small-town heart and big-city diversions. Between street festivals, nightlife and all the things to do outside, the work-hard, play-hard approach is in this city's veins.
Calgary has long been known as an energy city. Alberta is Canada's largest oil and gas producer and is hope to vast oil sands deposits. Calgary is the epicenter of the energy industry in Canada with head offices of every major company in the upstream, midstream and downstream sectors located in the city.
- The Calgary Metropolitan Area has a population of 1.51 million as of 2019, which makes it Alberta’s Largest City
- Canada is both the fifth-largest producer of crude oil and the fifth-largest producer of natural gas in the world – with Alberta home to about three-quarters of the country’s production. Alberta’s oil sands are the third-largest crude oil reserves in the world.
- Calgary energy companies have been leaders in advancing technology in areas from hydraulic fracturing to thermal oil sands production to pipeline integrity. In today’s energy sector, clean energy technology is a major driving force in the industry. Striving to compete in a lower carbon economy globally, the industry is investing heavily to incorporate clean technology solutions in oil and gas while also developing renewable energy sources.
- With a history as an energy-focused city, Calgary is home to a highly skilled workforce experienced in the energy industry.

Safety
Safe, Clean, & Healthy
Calgary is a safe, clean and healthy city. In fact, Calgary was ranked the Cleanest City in the World by Miratel in 2013. And in a North American quality of living survey done by Mercer, Calgary also ranked the 16th highest city for personal safety and security. The city has made, and continues to make, a significant investment in personnel, equipment, and technology for Calgary’s security and protective services (including fire, police, emergency medical services and STARS Air Ambulance). The emphasis on personal security shows. Calgary has been ranked as one of the top 35 cities in the world for overall quality of living.
City and Region
The Calgary Police Service (CPS) Major Event and Emergency Management Section (MEEMS), develops a yearly Strategic Emergency Management Plan that supports the MEEMS mission to Maximize safety during major events and emergencies. The Strategic Emergency Management Plan clarifies the risk environment in which MEEMS creates operational plans and prepares for events through the identification and prioritization
of threats and risks. Planning that is conducted for major events is driven by ongoing risk assessment with a focus on mitigating identified risk factors identified for each event. The tools for mitigation encompass all of the resources within
CPS as well as the resources of partner agencies. The Calgary Emergency Management Agency (CEMA), Calgary Fire Department (CFD) and Alberta Health Services (AHS) are all key partners that are involved in the planning, prevention, response and recovery for major events. While CEMA is the coordinating agency for complex events, the nature of each event determines the agencies that will be involved. In the case of the World Petroleum Congress, MEEMS would author a robust risk assessment and build an operational plan that would support the event. With regard to natural disasters or political unrest, existing Emergency Response Plans within each agency would be initiated as needed.
