Is there a reference of what encompasses the Calgary region ? It seems odd that Banff which is around 80 miles (125km) from the city is included. The metropolitan area should only included suburbs and commuter towns. Not towns an hour or two away. That's further than Niagara from Toronto. The Toronto region would be like 8 million if it included all that area. UrbanNerd ( talk) 00:09, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
I think the article needs to be reworded. It suggests that the Calgary Region is the Calgary metropolitan area. The Calgary Region is not the Calgary metropolitan area. The metropolitan area is the core city with surrounding commuter towns. Not the core city plus every town within a 150km range. The Calgary region is a vast area which probably have close relationships with each other. Not a metro area however. UrbanNerd ( talk) 16:01, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
Although much work has been put into this article recently. I still question its relevance. It seems to jump from CMA to Region, to Regional Partnership. I wonder if a complete rewrite or deletion is required. UrbanNerd ( talk) 08:25, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
I agree with you 100% that the region includes a vast amount of land that is not metro in nature. It is our shared opinion that a metro area includes the city and its commuter suburbs, towns, and villages, etc. However, it is not our place to have an opinion that other colloquial and administrative definitions of metro areas made by others are wrong or right. What the following sentence intends to do is acknowledge, and advise the reader, that there is a different interpretation of Calgary’s metro area made by others.
Then, the following sentence we came up with in our previous discussions reconciles that, although this different interpretation exists, some areas and communities don’t have much of a metro relationship, if any, to Calgary.
The intent here is not to mislead, but to recognize and acknowledge a different historic interpretation that has led to confusion over the delineation of Calgary's metro area, exacerbated by the recent emergence of the CRP. I honestly don’t see how the italicized text above would be an unsatisfactory contribution to the intro of this article. Hwy43 ( talk) 08:17, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
There may be some done by User:Calgary Region. I tried checking the site http://www.calgaryregion.ca/cmp but gave up after a few very frustrating minutes. Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 12:40, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Calgary Region's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 16:22, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
