Edmonton

Edmonton is a dynamic city of a million people that blends metropolitan amenities and an entrepreneurial spirit with cultural flair and a tight‑knit community feel.

The city boasts more green space per capita than any other North American city, including the spectacular North Saskatchewan River valley—an escape to nature that contains more than 100 kilometres of multi-use trails.

Edmonton also has one of the sunniest climates in the country, professional sports teams and an annual circuit of 30+ festivals, including the second largest Fringe Theatre Festival in the world.

That’s why Edmonton is known as Canada’s Festival City.

With the country’s top-ranked health system, one of the world’s most vibrant economies and the Rocky Mountains close by, Edmonton offers an outstanding quality of life.
