Economy

A leader in Canadian energy production and services, Calgary is known as the Oil and Gas capital of Canada. Without question, this remains an economic pillar, but the City and Province of Alberta have worked to diversify their economy with growing success. For instance, the city’s entrepreneurial spirit has led it to be one of the country’s top leaders in small business ownership and self-employment. The largest four industries in the city (based on number of employees) are trades; professional, scientific, and technical services; health care are social assistance services; and the construction sector. Airlines including WestJet and Lynx Air are based in the city, and it is also home to a fast-growing tech sector. Film and television productions are also contributing significantly to the economy, with major productions from firms including HBO and Showtime taking place here.
