Calgary Regional Partnership

The Calgary Regional Partnership (CRP) is the metropolitan area based around Calgary, Alberta. The region's boundaries are very similar to that of the Statistics Canada census division (CD), Division No. 6, Alberta. The CRP is a cooperative of economically associated municipalities in the area. Unlike many cities, Calgary has incorporated most of its suburbs into the city proper. In the past, when the city limits have reached other municipalities, they have simply been annexed into the population of Calgary. Therefore, the vast majority of the area's population lives within the City of Calgary.

The area includes many of the municipalities of Calgary's Census Metropolitan Area (CMA). The census metropolitan area is the definition Statistics Canada uses to determine the demographics of greater Calgary. Municipalities within the CMA include the City of Airdrie, the Town of Cochrane, the Town of Chestermere, the Municipal District of Rocky View, and the village of Beisker. The CMA also includes a number of unincorporated districts such as Springbank and the Hamlet of Bragg Creek. The Calgary CMA is the 5th largest metropolitan area in the country and the largest in Alberta. In 2004, Statistics Canada estimated the population of the CMA to be 1,037,100. The land area of this region is 5,083 sq. km.
