Having just returned from a trip to Calgary, I can surprisingly say 
that metric is doing very nicely out there, even a bit more so than 
in Ontario.  I say "surprisingly" because Albertans tend to be more 
right wing than are their fellow countrymen in Ontario.

My employer, TELUS, is the phone company for Alberta & BC.  All 
distances used in their Alberta ordering systems are metric 
(cable lengths, etc.) versus the measurements that are used in 
our Ontario offices (I'm working on changing that).  

Also, downtown Calgary has an overhead system of mostly
enclosed bridges and walkways connecting the buildings so that 
you don't have to go outside in winter.  You could actually walk 
across town and be indoors the whole time.
This system is named the "+ 15" because it's 15 feet above the 
street.  However all of the old clearance signs for the traffic
below which used to be dual measurements are being replaced
with metric only signs.   That's good to see.

P.S.  The "+ 15" was built prior to metrication in Canada,
and it has been around for so long that the name has
become part of Calgary's identity.  There's no way they'd
change it to a more metric name.  But that's OK, as far as 
I'm concerned.  Here's a link to a map and facts about it
