Calgary's population passed the million person mark in the summer of 2006. If surrounding towns are included, the population would be about 1.15 million.
When I moved here in 1977 there were about 450,000 people.
There were 16,000 babies born in Calgary in 2006.
About 35,000 people moved here from across Canada and from around the world in the last year.
Construction permits issued for 2006 were over $4 billion CDN.
There were about 17,000 new housing starts; about 12,500 were single family, and most of the rest were condos.
These statistics are from the pages of the Calgary Herald and rounded off.
