Calgary Municipal Events with Geospatial Coordinates

City of Calgary provides a listing of public meetings, engagement sessions, recreation, and other municipal events. The dataset includes columns for event details, locations, and schedules, and is managed by data.calgary.ca. It is updated twice daily, with a last recorded update in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Map event density and types across city wards using the 'Ward Boundaries' and 'Event Type' columns.
• Analyze temporal patterns of public meetings by processing the 'All Dates' and 'Next Date times' fields.
• Identify hosting organizations and their focus areas by examining 'Host Organization' alongside 'Event Group'.
• Correlate event locations with community demographics using 'Calgary Communities' and 'City Quadrants'.
• Build a recommendation system for local events based on user location and 'Event Type' using 'latitude' and 'longitude'.

Strengths

• Dataset includes precise geospatial coordinates ('latitude', 'longitude') for location analysis.
• Contains multiple categorical classifiers for events ('Event Type', 'Event Group', 'Ward Boundaries').
• Update frequency is explicitly stated as twice daily, supporting near-real-time use.

Limitations

• Sample size and total row count are unknown, limiting assessment of statistical power.
• Temporal coverage and date range for the 'All Dates' column are unspecified.
• Potential geographic bias is present as data is confined to Calgary municipal boundaries.
