The '''Calgary Metropolitan Region''' ('''CMR'''), also known as '''Greater Calgary''' or '''Metro Calgary''' is a conglomeration of municipalities centred on [[Calgary]], the [[List of cities in Alberta|largest city]] in [[Alberta]].

With the Government of Alberta's establishment of the Calgary Metropolitan Region Board (CMRB) in 2017, the CMR's boundaries were legislated to include the City of Calgary, [[Foothills County]] to the south, [[Rocky View County]] to the west, north, and east, and a western portion of [[Wheatland County, Alberta|Wheatland County]] further to the east.<ref name=CMRBregulation>{{cite web | url=http://www.qp.alberta.ca/documents/Regs/2017_190.pdf | title=Calgary Metropolitan Region Board Regulation (Alberta Regulation 190/2017) | publisher=Alberta Queen's Printer | year=2017 | access-date=December 22, 2017}}</ref> Also within these boundaries are the cities of [[Airdrie, Alberta|Airdrie]] and [[Chestermere]], seven towns: [[Cochrane, Alberta|Cochrane]], [[Crossfield, Alberta|Crossfield]], [[Diamond Valley, Alberta|Diamond Valley]], [[High River]], [[Irricana]], [[Okotoks]], and [[Strathmore, Alberta|Strathmore]], two villages: [[Beiseker]] and [[Longview, Alberta|Longview]], and two [[First Nations in Alberta|First Nations communitie]]s: [[Tsuu T'ina Nation Indian Reserve No. 145|Tsuu T'ina 145]] and [[Eden Valley 216]]. Not all of these, however, are administrative members of the CMRB.

The Calgary [[census metropolitan area]] (CMA) as delineated by [[Statistics Canada]] is smaller than the CMR. The Calgary CMA includes Calgary, Rocky View County, Airdrie, Beiseker, Chestermere, Cochrane, Crossfield, Irricana, and Tsuu T'ina 145.

The Calgary Metropolitan Region is a major transportation hub for [[southern Alberta]], [[Saskatchewan]], eastern [[British Columbia]], and parts of the northern [[United States]]. It is home to the [[Calgary International Airport]], the fourth busiest airport in Canada in terms of total aircraft movements.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/51-209-x/51-209-x2012001-eng.pdf | publisher=Statistics Canada | title=Aircraft Movement Statistics: NAV CANADA Towers and Flight Service Stations: Annual Report (TP 577), 2011 | page=18 | date=May 2012 | access-date=December 2, 2012}}</ref>

In the [[Canada 2011 Census|2011 Census]], the Calgary CMA had a population of 1,214,839 living in 464,001 of its 488,451 total dwellings, a 12.6% change from its 2006 population of 1,079,310, making it the largest CMA in Alberta and the [[List of census metropolitan areas and agglomerations in Canada|fourth largest]] in Canada. With a land area of {{convert|5,107.55|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}}, it had a population density of 237.9 people per square kilometre in 2011.<ref name=2011censusCMAs>{{cite web | url=http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2011/dp-pd/hlt-fst/pd-pl/Table-Tableau.cfm?LANG=Eng&T=205&S=3&RPP=50 | title=Population and dwelling counts, for census metropolitan areas, 2011 and 2006 censuses | publisher=Statistics Canada | date=2012-02-08 | access-date=2012-02-22}}</ref>

[[Foothills County]] and the municipalities within are often considered as part of Calgary's metropolitan area due to, among other things, the MDs shared boundary with the City of Calgary and the bedroom community nature of towns like Okotoks, High River, and Diamond Valley

=== Membership ===
The CRP's current membership includes three cities ([[Airdrie, Alberta|Airdrie]], Calgary, and [[Chestermere]]), eight towns ([[Banff, Alberta|Banff]], [[Canmore, Alberta|Canmore]], [[Cochrane, Alberta|Cochrane]], [[Diamond Valley, Alberta|Diamond Valley]], [[Irricana]], [[Nanton, Alberta|Nanton]], [[Okotoks]], and [[Strathmore, Alberta|Strathmore]], and one townsite ([[Redwood Meadows]]).<ref name=CRPabout/><ref name=TimesEcho20130415/> Of these thirteen municipalities, four of the ten towns (Banff, Canmore, Nanton, and Strathmore) are outside, but in proximity to, the Calgary Region's boundaries as defined in this article. Of the remaining six towns, two of them (Diamond Valley, and Okotoks) are outside the Calgary CMA boundaries as defined by Statistics Canada.

=== Past members ===
Membership in the CRP once consisted of the four [[List of municipal districts in Alberta|municipal districts]] and two additional towns. These included the [[Municipal District of Bighorn No. 8|MD of Bighorn No. 8]], the MD of Foothills No. 31, Rocky View County, [[Wheatland County, Alberta|Wheatland County]] and the towns of Crossfield and High River. The MD of Bighorn No. 8 pulled out of the CRP in March 2009 due to the lack of opportunity for infrastructure connectivity to the balance of the Calgary Region.<ref name=Leader20100311>{{Cite news
