The days of Calgary amalgamating any more municipalties are probably done as anything that is now on Calgary's door steps is too large and independent to get amalgamated unless forced to do so by the province. Airdrie, Cochrane, Chestermere and Okotoks would be the communities nearest to Calgary at risk of forced amalgamation. I suppose Conrich and Dewinton fall into this category as well.

My understanding is most former municipalities volunteered to join since they were paying for Calgary-based services or utilities anyway. I expect Conrich an DeWinton will join, unsure about Chestermere. Airdrie, Cochrane and Okotoks are either already too big or certainly will be once Calgary reaches them. I figure any municipality which is already a city or qualifies to be a city and has it's own internal community divisions will stay separate.
