The Calgary Region is recognized internationally as an outstanding place to live and do business, and is acclaimed for its exceptional quality of life and environment. Spanning from Banff in the west to Strathmore in the east and from Crossfield in the north to Nanton in the south, the Calgary Region Marketplace is home to almost 1.26 million people (2008) sharing 28,632 square kilometers (or 11,054 square miles) which is 4.1 per cent of the province of Alberta's land mass. There are a number of urban and rural communities in the Region - each with its own unique identity and mix of amenities offering families and entrepreneurs a range of solutions to match their needs.
