Alberta|Canmore]], [[Cochrane, Alberta|Cochrane]], [[Diamond Valley, Alberta|Diamond Valley]], [[Irricana]], [[Nanton, Alberta|Nanton]], [[Okotoks]], and [[Strathmore, Alberta|Strathmore]], and one

proximity to, the Calgary Region's boundaries as defined in this article. Of the remaining six towns, two of them (Diamond Valley, and Okotoks) are outside the Calgary CMA boundaries as defined by Statistics Canada. === Past members === Membership in the CRP once consisted of the four [[List of municipal districts in Alberta|municipal districts]] and two additional towns. These included the [[Municipal District of Bighorn No. 8|MD of Bighorn No. 8]], the MD of Foothills No. 31, Rocky View County, [[Wheatland County, Alberta|Wheatland County]] and the towns of Crossfield and High River.
