Calgary is the largest city in Alberta, situated at the confluence of the Bow River and the Elbow River in the south of the province, in an area of foothills and prairie, about 80 km east of the front ranges of the Canadian Rockies.

The flag of the City of Calgary has a red field with horizontal white
stripes at the upper and lower edges, both 3/32 of the height of the flag. Centred
on the left half of the field is a large white stylized letter “C” 11/16 the
height of the flag, with a stylized white Stetson cowboy hat in its open side.
The “C” has a narrow red line running its entire circumference, set toward its
outer rim. The cowboy hat is a line drawing in white with a red background.

Calgary previously used a white flag in proportions of 1:2, with a white
field and a vertical band of red at the hoist, one-third the length of the flag.
The red band bears a large “C” one-half the height of the flag, enclosing a
“counterchanged” image of the city’s coat of arms (in red on black on the left
and in black on red on the right). Centred in the white field is CALGARY in
large black sans-serif letters, with a red maple leaf above and another below.
The leaf matches that on the national flag.
