Are you sure? I just checked around and it looks almost flat. except some little bumps that I dont call ''mountains''
This is west of calgary :

Anyways, foothills or not, they're not far, and it's an unbelievable asset to this city to be that close of the great rockies!!
Compared to that, our little Laurentians north of Quebec city with some peaks of 1100-1200m is shameful
lol
Edit : Oh by the way, could someone tell me why they're stopping the sprawl right here (was always wondering that) :

Is it a conservation area of something ??
