Calgary Regional Transit Plan
(AECOM Canada Ltd., 2009-11-20) AECOM Canada Ltd
The proposed growth management strategy and policies contained in the Calgary Metropolitan Plan (CMP) of the Calgary Regional Partnership (CRP) have focused on the need to plan for a metropolitan region that is expected to grow to a size of approximately 2.8 million people by 2070 (from a base of approximately 1.2 million residents today) and accommodate an additional 800,000 jobs over the same period. Plans for efficient and costeffective infrastructure are integrated into the CMP’s proposed regional settlement pattern, which promotes intensification of existing development and directs new development to areas that can be supported by the efficient delivery of water, wastewater and transit systems. There are a number of specific CMP policies supporting the regional transit system and its strong integration with land use, which are outlined in the report.

CRP Regional Economic Development Strategy
(Millier, Dickinson, Blais Inc., 2009-11-23) Millier Dickinson Blais
The Calgary Region has experienced a rapid period of growth in recent years and the expansion of the provincial and Calgary economies has had major impacts across the Region. The city of Calgary has seen significant growth in head office, financial services, professional engineering and other services that support the energy sector and oil sands development. The city’s transportation and logistics, aerospace and health care sectors are also expanding. This heightened level of economic activity has contributed to the growth of communities within the broader Calgary Region, which have experienced some of the highest rates of population and employment growth in the country, and the emergence of the Region as an attractive location for business growth and expansion. Despite the recent downturn in the global economy, the Calgary Region continues to be one of the most exciting and dynamic places in the country in which to live and do business.

Review of CRP Governance to Support Regional Water and Wastewater Servicing
(2010-09) Grant Thornton LLP
The Calgary Metropolitan Plan (CMP) identifies the important role regional water and wastewater infrastructure and servicing systems will have in enabling the Calgary Region to achieve the right balance among protecting the regional environment, providing efficient and effective delivery of municipal services, and enhancing regional prosperity. To move forward with regional servicing, consistent with the CMP, it was recognized that a critical first step was the development of a governance structure that supports implementation and allows the Calary Regional Partnership (CRP) and its members to address a wide array of implementation questions and issues. To this end, the CRP engaged Grant Thornton to assist it in developing a governance structure that will support implementation of regional water and wastewater servicing.

A Context for Change Management in the Calgary Regional Partnership Area: Future Population, Housing, Labour Force, and Employment: Future Population, Housing, Labour Force, and Employment
(Urban Futures, 2012-02) Urban Futures
The future of the Calgary Region will increasingly be shaped by its external context, due to its open metropolitan economy and strong reliance on migration. From a demographic perspective, the patterns of projected population growth and change in Canada, and in its provinces and regions, will determine the degree to which the Calgary Region will have a pool of migrants (both domestic and international) to contribute to its future population. As such, changes at the national and provincial levels are important in considering the regional patterns of demographic and economic change.
