Calgary’s Population by Ethnic Origin
Most Calgary residents are of European origin: this group accounted for 77.8 per cent of the city’s population in 2006.
Calgarians whose ancestors hailed from England, Scotland, Germany, Ireland and France make up a large percentage of the population, but that being said, the city is host to a broad range of other ethnic minority groups as detailed below.
