Calgary
Calgary, the largest city in Alberta, is Canada’s leader in the oil and energy sectors. Calgary marks the bottom of the Calgary–Edmonton Corridor, one of the fastest growing regions in the country because of its wealth of oil. The city has attracted a list of big names in the industry including Suncor, Imperial Oil and Husky Energy who have set up their head offices in the district. This said, a resource boom in the area has led to increasing economic diversification. The city is also now a leader in economic expansion and consists of a range of different industries including finance, film and television, transportation and logistics, technology, manufacturing, health and wellness, retail and tourism. This has helped Calgary have a low unemployment rate and high GDP per capita. Major employers in the area now also include Canada Safeway Limited, Westfair Foods and Shaw Communication.
The location
Calgary is found between the Canadian Rockies foothills and the Canadian Prairies. It consists of an inner city surrounded by communities all incorporated into the city proper. Calgary is constantly advancing and has invested in numerous land annexation procedures over the years to keep up with the growth of its booming economy. Currently, it is divided into four major quadrants: Northwest, Northeast, Southwest and Southeast Calgary. Downtown Calgary is the most popular area for business because it is seen as the ‘core-heart’ of the city.
