Going by the Wikipedia definition of the term:

In modern use, the term can also be applied to smaller structures or features, that have become local or national symbols.
I'd agree with your list and add to it as follows:
  • Saddledome
  • Calgary Tower
  • Peace Bridge
  • Ski Jumps at COP
  • Firestone Tower
  • 4th and 5th Avenue Flyovers
  • Nose Hill
  • Deerfoot 17 Building (It is now the Merchant Law Building)
  • Centre Street Bridge

They are landmarks in my mental map of Calgary.
