Minor issue: given that the city does not count Downtown as a single official community, but as multiple seperate ones, there is no clear official definition of "Downtown". This article seems to assume the definition of "Downtown Calgary" is "those official communities with the word 'Downtown' in their name". That sounds reasonable, but is it official?

I think "Eau Claire" and "Chinatown" are as integral a part of Downtown Calgary as the East Village is; even more so, given how the C-Train/City-Hall is something of a barrier to part of the Downtown East Village. But Eau Claire and Chinatown have no such obvious physical bariers. --rob 11:04, 3 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

I always thought that the City of Calgary had considered the beltline area as part of downtown, and that the borders of downtown were 14th Street W and 17th Ave South. I'm not sure about the north and east borders.--64.42.192.130 19:47, 12 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

This is the best map I can find from the city [1]. The downtown commercial core is bounded by 10th on the west, not 14th (the Downtown West End is between 10th and 14th). The Beltline is indeed a separate community (you can also look at the Calgary community profiles) and downtown proper does end at the CPR tracks. The north and east borders vary quite a bit, but generally, Eau Claire, Chinatown, and the Downtown East Village are officially separate communities and all sit on the commercial core's northern and eastern boundaries. However... what is officially within downtown and what is CONSIDERED to be downtown by citizens are totally different things of course. I think the article addresses that briefly. Note also that I think the map is a bit out of date as it still shows Connaught and Victoria Park as distinct communities. Of course, they have since been amalgamated into the Beltline. --Tyson2k 19:58, 12 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Working population

edit

Does anyone have a source on the number of people that work in downtown Calgary? I think that would be a useful addition to the article. I think I may have seen it in the C-Train literature at some point... TastyCakes (talk) 16:21, 16 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
