  • Community Info:

    Edmonton is a vibrant urban centre in the heart of the wilderness, the largest northernmost metropolis, and the capital of Alberta, Canada. Experience what 18 hours of sunlight a day feels like in the summer, or how the first snowfall transforms the river valley in winter. No matter the season, Edmonton is made for exploring

    With Canada’s largest sports and entertainment district, one of the world’s biggest malls and the longest stretch of urban parkland on the continent, our capital likes to do things big. But at the heart of Edmonton’s diverse culture is a down-to-earth personality with an appreciation for the small things in life.

    The North Saskatchewan River and River Valley parkland stretch across the city, making it a beautiful place to enjoy countless outdoor activities. When you venture beyond this natural oasis and onto vibrant city streets, welcoming faces and fascinating places will only further enliven you.
