Calgary reached a milestone overnight - almost 2 years ahead of schedule. We now have 1,000,000 people living in our city (the 3rd city in Canada to do so). Our city is growing fast - 35,681 in one year. 72% of Calgary homes are owned by the person living in them (the highest rate in the country). Our biggest problems right now? In a word - labour. There just aren't enough people here to fill the jobs that are available. The latest tale - Humpty's (restaurant chain) President just went to Mexico to hire people. The Mayor says we're about 35,000 people short over the next five years to fill jobs that are all ready on the horizon.
No monthly fees, no equipment to install
