Edmonton Overview

As the northernmost city in North America, Edmonton, AB, boasts a metropolitan population of over a million residents. This city, which is located in the province of Alberta, Canada, features a beautiful mixture of diverse landscapes thanks to its location being between the boreal forest and the prairies, along with it being located just northeast of the Rocky Mountains. 

What is the history of Edmonton?

Edmonton is the capital city of the province of Alberta, Canada, and is situated practically in the center of the province. Edmonton’s history began with the establishment of Fort Edmonton back in 1795. Prior to this, the land was only known by Indigenous peoples. In 1904, it was incorporated as a city, and then in 1905, it became the capital of Alberta. Much later, it became the first Canadian city to join the UNESCO Global Network of Learning Cities in 2022.

How is the weather in Edmonton?

Edmonton’s daily temperatures range from a low of 13.3 degrees F in January to a peak temperature of around 73.4 degrees F in July. Summers typically range from late June through early September with low humidity that is rarely uncomfortable.  Winter begins in November and goes through March. Edmonton’s winters can vary in both severity and length, as does Alberta in general. Spring and fall can both be a bit unpredictable and are short. Generally, Edmonton enjoys around 2,299 hours of sunshine per year, which makes it one of Canada’s sunniest cities. 

How do I get around town?

The Edmonton Transit System is the primary public transit agency for the city, and it offers a large fleet of buses as well as the Edmonton Light Rail Transit (LRT) line. Edmonton is served by one major and several smaller-sized airports. The largest is the Edmonton International Airport that is located south of the city near Leduc. There is also an extensive multi-use trail system in the city, allowing for walking or biking. Cars are an option as well. 

What is the Edmonton commute like?

The average commute time for Edmonton residents was listed as 25.6 minutes in 2024. This means Edmonton features one of the lowest commute times of Canada’s six largest cities. Edmonton connects to Saskatchewan and British Columbia via the Yellowhead Highway. The main freeway in the city is the Anthony Henday Drive, which encircles the city and was completed in 2016. 

What are the local media outlets?

There are several media outlets that serve the Edmonton area. Radio station options include CBC Radio One Edmonton: CBX, HOT 107 FM, CKUA Radio Network, and SONic 102.9. Print media include a weekly community newspaper called the Edmonton Examiner, the Metro News Edmonton, and the Vue Weekly. Television stations include Global TV Edmonton, CTV Television Station, and the CBC, just to name a few. 

Why live in Edmonton, AB?

In addition to its picturesque landscape, Edmontonians, as the residents are called, are known for their friendliness and overall welcoming nature, making Edmonton a great city to move into and easily make friends. This unique appeal to a variety of age groups and life stations attracts the brightest and the best, which has led to it being one of the fastest-growing cities in all of Canada and one of the youngest, with a median age of 37. It is also an affordable place to relocate. As a result, it was ranked number one by the Canadian Home Builders’ Association when considering key factors that impact housing affordability and overall cost of living rates. 

What Edmonton landmarks should I see?

Fort Edmonton Park is located in Edmonton and is Canadas largest living history museum. Another interesting landmark in Edmonton is the High Level Bridge, which is the world’s highest bridge that is still used by street care today. The old-time streetcars go from downtown to Whyte Ave throughout the summer (on weekends). 

What is there to do around Edmonton?

The Edmonton River Valley is the largest urban green space in all of North America. It features 7,300 hectares, which makes it 18 times larger than Stanley Park in Vancouver, as well as being larger than all of Manhattan in New York City. Edmonton also features the smallest national park in Canada, as well with its Elk Island National Park, which has been key in bison conservation. In addition, when getting indoors instead of outside sounds like a better way to spend a day, Edmonton also boasts one of the world’s largest malls with its West Edmonton Mall. In fact, this mall is so impressive that it actually held the moniker as the World’s Largest Mall between 1981 and 2004.

Any annual festivals or Edmonton events to know?

Nicknamed “Canada’s Festival City,” Edmonton really shines when it comes to hosting some of the country’s best festivals, featuring some sort of festival nearly year-round. In fact, the city boasts over 50 annual festivals to choose from, including the Flying Canoe Volant, the Canadian Birkebeiner Ski Festival, the Silver Skate Festival, the UIAA Ice Climbing World Cup, SkitsAfire, Dreamspeakers International Film Festival, and Edmonton’s International Beerfest to name just a few. 

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Although Edmonton offers many options for its residents within its borders for entertainment and fun, leaving the city offers some additional opportunities, such as the Banff National Park and the Jasper National Park, about four hours away from Edmonton. Banff National Park is Canada’s first national park and is the flagship of the nation’s park system. Jasper National Park is the largest national park in the Canadian Rockies and is known for its extensive trails and abundant wildlife. There are also many cities that are an extremely short flight away from Edmonton, which make good destination options, like British Columbia, Calgary, Denver, Colorado, and many others. 

Where is the best place to move in Edmonton?

Edmonton, AB, is a fun-filled city that plays host to various festivals throughout the year but also holds education and employment opportunities at high value. It has a thriving economy and job market and boasts an affordable cost of living, allowing many residents to enjoy the big city lifestyle at a lower cost of living when compared to other similar-sized cities. This, combined with the beautiful natural surroundings of Edmonton and the many restaurants, museums, attractions, landmarks, and more that the city boasts, makes it a great city to consider in Alberta, Canada.
