EDMONTON

The Greater Edmonton Area is home to over 1.1 million people and continues to grow. We are known as Canada's Festival City, hosting over 30 festivals annually. Our river valley is North America's largest urban park. We have more than 70 golf courses. We are in close proximity to camping, lakes, and nature reserves. 

Our shopping, dining, and entertainment districs are well-known and diverse. We are home to over 20 theatre companies including musical groups, comedy, and dinner theatre. The arts are alive and well in Edmonton, which is evident if you visit the brand new Art Gallery of Alberta.

We are also the home of the Edmonton Oilers NHL team, the Edmonton Eskimos CFL club, the Oil Kings WHL team, the Edmonton Capitals baseball team, and many other sports teams.
