Travel Guide: Edmonton - Alberta - Canada

Edmonton is the capital city of Alberta. This city of 918,000 hosts many popular cultural events and arts festivals, is well known for its scenic river valley and is home to the world's largest shopping centre, West Edmonton Mall. Go back in time at Fort Edmonton Park which recreates Edmonton's history in four eras. Take in the Edmonton Space and Science Centre, the Muttart Conservatory, and the Provincial Museum of Alberta. Edmonton can get cold, but there's always plenty to do in the winter and summer. In the winter, you can go catch an Oilers hockey game, while in the summer, there's many festivels you can choose from to go to or maybe go see an Eskimos football game. Edmonton is known as North America's festival city and with festivals such as the Fringe or the Folk Music Festival to choose from, you won't be bored.

This is a bustling, growing population center, among the most northern cities of this size in the world. It serves as a key supply base for much of northern Canada, and Edmonton's varied industries are very strong. Among the key industries are oil and gas, agriculture, construction, education, banking, research (esp. medical) and manufacturing.

Sports is also a key feature of city life. Best known as the city where Wayne Gretzky played his finest hockey, Edmonton is also known as "The City of Champions" because of the high number of local athletes who have gained national and international attention.
