Not quite. You first see the city/city lights - albeit briefly - on the down side of Scott Lake hill which is technically foothills. From Exshaw (the rough edge of the Rockies) until Scott lake hill you are in the Bow valley bottom and cannot see the city.

I have been on a number of peaks where I have seen the city - ones I believe that are farther out than Sparrowhawk and Bogart. I will have to check my notes and figure out which one is the furtherest out.
