It is easy to congratulate yourself for being awesome, but what do you really have to compare yourself to?  I personally tell everybody with ears how awesome Calgary is and according to several research institutions and media groups, it's nice to know that I am not the only one who thinks so.

If you live here you know, but even then to put things into a global perspective is not always easy. Awards, recognition and rankings like those above and below help us put things into perspective. Another perspective inducing fact is that there are 7 billion people on this planet and we live in a city of 1.1 million, of which is recognized as one of the best places to live in the world!
