Everyone’s welcome.
Welcome to Edmonton/ Amiskwacîwâskahikan
Edmonton is the capital of Alberta and located in Treaty 6 territory and Metis Region 4. With a population of around 970,000 people, Edmonton is one of Canada's youngest and fastest growing cities. Known as Canada's 'festival city', Edmonton hosts over 50 unique festivals annually. World-famous attractions call Edmonton home, including West Edmonton Mall, an indoor mall which spans the equivalent of 48 city blocks, and the Art Gallery of Alberta, who are celebrating their 100th anniversary this year. With playoff season here for the NHL, you will also be sure to see orange and blue worn throughout the city as they support our Edmonton Oilers hockey team. Edmonton's crowned jewel is the North Saskatchewan River Valley, the largest urban park in Canada, which has more than 160 km of trails to explore right in the heart of the city.
