Footnotes ...

<1>The pronunciation we've provided is our attempt to give a phonetic pronunciation for Calgary. While it might not be exactly right, hopefully it will be close. If we have it wrong or there's a better way to pronounce the name, please contact us through our Feedback Page.
<2>When there's a risk of an area code running out of phone numbers, an 'Overlay Area Code' is created that has the same geographic boundaries as the existing area code. In this case, the 403 code has been Overlayed with one of the following codes: 368, 587 or 825. New phone numbers in the Calgary area will be assigned with one of these codes: 403, 368, 587 or 825. As a result, placing a call in the Calgary area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number).
<3>The elevation is an estimate for the area around Calgary - it will be higher in some places and lower in others.
<4>Longitude & latitude values may not be the geographic center of Calgary, rather it may be a prominent intersection or the center of population, etc. It will vary depending on the source.
