We might be slightly biased, but Calgary really is an awesome city and one of the best places to make a living and life. But don’t just take our word for it - here are five reasons why: 
 
📈 Economic growth is strong. Real GDP in the Calgary area increased by 8 per cent year over year in Q2 2022.
 
📹 Businesses are choosing to locate in the Calgary area. 43,831 businesses were active in the Calgary area in June 2022, an increase of 723 from one year earlier. Calgary is also leading tech-sector growth in North America and is recognized as a top 10 destination for film and TV.
 
🏙️ We are in a good financial position. Maintaining a high credit rating of AA+, Calgary is among the top-rated Canadian municipalities.
 
📉 Unemployment is falling. The Calgary area’s unemployment rate is forecasted to be 6 per cent in 2022, down from 9.1 per cent in 2021 and far below the peak of 15.6 per cent recorded in June 2020, in the early days of the pandemic.
 
☺️ Quality of life remains strong. With 80 per cent of Calgarians rating their quality of life as “good” and 74 per cent agreeing that “Calgary is a great place to make a living,” Calgarians are showing optimism about living in Calgary.
