    I am originally from Calgary and I pronounce it Calg-ry. I notice people around here (MB) say Cal-gary. Now which do you say and why? Which is correct I.Y.O?


    Cowboys say Calg-ry no?

    Easterners say Cal-gar-y. Please respond to the poll ....

    Holy Crap! Someone acutally *from* Calgary! Been here almost two months and everyone I've run into has been from just about everywhere else.

    Depends on how east ya go. I say it Cal-gar-y but when I got my Cape Bretoner voice on, it's definately Calg'ry.

    Sorta reminds me of Tor-on-to and T'ronna ( I mention this 'cause I know how much Albertans like to be compared to Ontario. LoL )

    I use to always say "Cal-gree", but then found out that most people out west said "Cal-gary".
