Calgary

Calgary is a city in Alberta, Canada's westernmost province. The city has 1,306,784 residents in 2021, with a metropolitan population of 1,481,806, making it Canada's third-largest city and fifth-largest metropolitan region.

Calgary is located in the south of the province, at the confluence of the Bow and Elbow Rivers, in the transitional area between the Rocky Mountain Foothills and the Canadian Prairies, about 80 kilometers (50 miles) east of the Canadian Rockies' front ranges, about 299 kilometers (186 miles) south of Edmonton, and about 240 kilometers (150 miles) north of the Canada–United States border. The city is located at the southern end of the Calgary–Edmonton Corridor, as defined by Statistics Canada.

Calgary is one of the seven cities in Canada that stands apart. While the rest of the cities stay spotless, Calgary comfortably wins the title of the second Cleanest Cities in the World. Yes, the streets are stylish, and the air is sharp, but so is the water. Visitors are permitted to drink water from the taps without fear of being exposed to contaminated water.

Calgary's officials have devised waste management systems to keep the city clean, despite its population of nearly a million people. This system contains a complex and sophisticated sewerage system as well as efficient garbage removal and recycling, among other things.
