Someone moving to Edmonton should know two things. The first thing is that we have the largest mall in Canada named West Edmonton Mall. The second thing that someone should know is that our top university is the University of Alberta. They have many courses that have been rated one of the best such as their Engineering and Business programs.

Edmonton is a beautiful city with exquisite attractions and engaging citizens. Although it may seem remote, the city has one of the highest populations in Alberta. Seeing as Edmonton is the capital of the province, the Legislature building serves as one of the city’s most intriguing landmarks; however, the most renowned building in all of Edmonton is unrivalled: the West Edmonton Mall. Conquered only recently by a mall in Dubai, the West Edmonton Mall–or “Wem” to the locals– is the second largest mall in the world. The gem of the city lies in its occupants. The people of Edmonton come from all corners of the world. Truly, if one looks to have a diverse, historic, and unforgettable experience, one should consider booking a trip to Edmonton.

Though often referred to as ‘deadmonton’, Edmonton is no boring city. In fact, in it resides the biggest mall in North America. The latter contains an indoor water park with many slides, a large pool with artificial waves, and many hot tubs. There is also an indoor amusement park with rollercoasters, a mini racing track, and a train. An ice rink can also be found in the mall. How can one say Edmonton when so much entertainment can be found in one place.

Edmonton is a beautiful, yet underrated city. The river valley creates spectacular views throughout, and there are plenty of walking and cycling trails to discover. While winter can be long and cold, there are many indoor activities to make the season bearable. Edmonton is the home of West Edmonton Mall, the largest mall in North America.

Edmonton is a beautiful city. There are a number of parks and walking trails in and around our river valley. People can enjoy a variety of cultural experiences, including concerts, festivals, and shopping in the world-famous West Edmonton Mall. The view of downtown Edmonton is a stunning sight, whether day or night.

Our city is a very beautiful city. It has many attractions. Fort Edmonton Park, the Valley Zoo and the Muttart Pyramids are very accessible and moderately priced, and fun. We also have the biggest shopping mall in western Canada with all levels of shopping available for everyone.

Edmonton is the capital of Alberta, Canada. It has a population of just under one million. It is home to many large outdoor festivals and home to one of the largest malls in Canada. It is vibrant and exciting with a diverse population and a large variety of industries.

One of the best parts of living in Edmonton is summer. The 104 street Farmers Market on Saturday mornings is a great place to pick up fresh local vegetables and baking. I also enjoy the festivals that go on, like the Fringe Festival, a great place to see the local talent.

If one moves to Edmonton, keep in mind all the fun and exciting gems that are waiting to be discovered! Edmonton is home to West Edmonton Mall, the largest mall in North America, which contains 100s of shops, a “street” of restaurants, an indoor amusement park and a water park complete with many daring slides and zip-lines. If you love the outdoors, the bustling Whyte Ave has everything to create a perfect day out from street performers to food festivals, hobby shops and so many picture worthy walls! However, a down side is the transit system which can end up costing you 30 minutes in wait time for some buses.
