EDMONTON,
ALBERTA
The city of Edmonton is
the capital of Alberta, and is known to locals by its
motto: City of Champions. Other than being the happy
home of many successful professional sports teams,
visitors will also discover the sense of pride that
drives this city. Friendly residents are happy to discuss
their magnificent river valley; a monstrous urban park
surrounded by Nordic ski trails that they claim, “Lace
the city’s heart together”.
There is a diverse cultural buzz that originates in
the city’s ethnic areas, and flourishes throughout
the entire city. Old Strathcona is home to some of
the most fabulous restaurants which boast wide ranges
of cuisine such as Thai,
German, and Cajun. Part of Edmonton’s charm is
the coexistence of distinctly different neighborhoods
that
successfully
compliment one another. Just outside of downtown, you
will find a quaint locale full of art galleries and
design studios known as the 124th Street District.
Other thriving cultural facilities and festivals include
the redesigned Science and Space Center which is over
57,000 sq. ft. in size and houses Canada’s largest
planetarium dome.
As one of the gateway cities to the Rockies, you will
find that the wide-open spaces combine the spirit of
the frontier with contemporary style and unparalleled
hospitality.
Throughout the year, and especially the long summer
months, Calgary is transformed into a golfer’s
paradise. Opportunities to practice your swing or play
a few holes abound as the scenery captivates your senses.
Whether taking advantage of every sportsman’s
fantasy, or tasting the flavors of the city, it is
easy to see where this city derives its pride.
