Calgary Community Amenities And Service Locations

Calgary's data portal provides a catalog of local amenities and public services, including attractions, community centers, health clinics, libraries, and hospitals. Each record contains a name, address, location coordinates, and associated homepage information. The dataset is maintained by data.calgary.ca and was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial distribution of amenities like libraries and health clinics using the POINT and TYPE columns.
• Map service locations to specific wards or community districts using Ward Boundaries and Calgary Communities 2 columns.
• Build a directory of service contacts and addresses for public use by joining NAME, ADDRESS, and COMM_CODE fields.

Strengths

• Covers 11 distinct amenity categories including health, recreation, and information services.
• Includes geospatial coordinates (POINT column) for mapping and spatial analysis.

Limitations

• Sample size and total row count are unknown, limiting assessment of completeness.
• Data currency is unclear as the last update date is in the future (2026-04-01), suggesting potential metadata error.
