Calgary is facing a population explosion. Are you feeling it? Living it? Let us know

Calgary saw nearly 100,000 people move here in just a yearfrom across Canada and the world.That's huge, and it has the potential to profoundly change our city.

This growth meansnew friendships, adventure and opportunities.

Others experience a struggle to find a job, housing or school a stress for new arrivals and long-term residents alike.

But a strong city is one that understands itself, especially in a time of change. So can you help us tell these stories?

• If you moved to Calgary within the past few years, tell us does this place feel like home yet? Why or why not?
• And if you're a long-time resident here what changes have you seen? What are your hopes and fears, and what do you think is being missed in the current conversation?
