About Edmonton, AB

Alberta's capital is both cosmopolitan and down-to-earth, an inviting city located on the vast northern prairie. From its early days as a fur-trading outpost, through its prominence as a center for coal and oil, the city has been a mainstay in western Canada. As a result of the oil booms in the last century, Edmonton grew increasingly wealthy, and the money gave rise to a town of culture and sophistication. These days, oil-related technology businesses anchor the local economy, and the city is also home to Alberta's legislature. Downtown, the Arts District has a variety of cultural offerings; across the river, the Old Strathcona neighborhood features terrific shopping and entertainment options. Thanks to the North Saskatchewan River valley, which bisects the city, Edmonton also has a wealth of green space, popular for outdoor festivals and recreational activities.
Edmonton, AB Factoid
In 1947, Edmonton was taken by storm with rapid growth in the oil and gas industry, which is still the economic mainstay in Western Canada. The resulting boom was followed by extensive cultural growth with arts programs and new venues.
