I don't think this fits into the category of droves that some forumer mentioned earlier.

I have been here in Calgary for 14 years and know of at least 10 couples "Born and Raised" in Calgary that have moved to Winnipeg and Saskatchewan.. It is a cost of living and cultural reason why they move. In two cases it was so there kids could go to the Royal Winnipeg Ballet school. Something Calgary does not have or at least a quality one. Others were for jobs but mostly they cashed out on their houses and are now living mortgage free plus have a cottage..
Do you think NO Calgarians ever move out of their City?? Sometimes people just need a change and don't want to go to a bigger city like Montreal, Toronto or Vancouver. (I don't consider Edmonton a move been only 2 1/2 hours away). My sister in-law born and raised in Calgary moved to Winnipeg to go to U of M for Management school, she stayed for 15 years. She never moved back to Calgary despite her parents living here. Saying that, she is now in Toronto because she is an investment banker. She had no opportunity in Calgary unless it was Oil related, which she had no interest in.
People do leave Calgary. It is not the end all be all. As for Culture, Calgary is 40 years behind every other city that has over a half million people. Travel, learn a little and you will get why people move for different reasons besides weather.
