Best Answer

Calgary at present has an Anglophone speaking population. Its history however owes a lot to early Francophone settlers. Ub its early days the Mission district aorigianlly named Rouleauville) was the centre of French culture with street names and such. The City however eliminated most named streets in favout of a numeric system and much of this impact was lost. Many buildings still are named for people like Father Lacombe and Louis Riel. T

No. The majority of people speak English. Street signs and billboards are in English but just like everywhere else in Canada things like cereal boxes will have both languages printed on them.
