Calgary is a city of more than 1,000,000 people (metropolitan area), located in the energy resource rich province of Alberta, in the country of Canada. The section on the Calgary market describes Calgary in more detail, but some key points include: • Calgary is the home of more head offices of the top 500 companies in Canada than any other Canadian city except for Toronto. • Calgary has the most educated workforce (with more university graduates per capita) than any other major city in Canada. • The center of oil and gas activity in Canada is in Calgary. The oil sands deposits in the province of Alberta (of which Calgary is a part) holds the largest ultimately recoverable oil reserves in the World, even more than Saudi Arabia. • Calgary has the highest per capita home ownership in the country, which basically means that our residents have a combination of very high disposable income, and reasonably affordable real estate prices.
