I am in Canada, but I'm about a days' drive from Calgary, and live in a different province than Alberta. Calgary is a beautiful city though. I'll think you'll really like it! :) There are other Canadians on this site too, but I'm not sure where in Canada they all are... they'd have to tell you that themselves.
To find friends in Canada you might want to try a pen pal site such as Pen Pal World, and then just look at the Canadian entries. Pen Pal World has several hundred Canadian entries, last time I checked. These are all people who are interested in corresponding through email or snail mail. Some even say what province they're in. Here's the address:

Good luck and welcome to Canada!
