Edmonton Listeni/'?dm?nt?n/ is the capital of Alberta, Canada. Edmonton is on th
e North Saskatchewan River and is the centre of the Edmonton Capital Region, whi
ch is surrounded by Alberta's central region.
The city had a population of 877,926 in the 2014 census,[11] is Alberta's second
-largest city and Canada's fifth-largest municipality. This population represent
s 66 percent of the total 2014 population of 1,328,300[12] within the Edmonton c
ensus metropolitan area (CMA), Canada's fifth-largest CMA by population. Edmonto
n is the most northern North American city with a metropolitan population over o
ne million. A resident of Edmonton is known as an Edmontonian.[13]
Edmonton's historic growth has been facilitated through the absorption of five a
djacent urban municipalities (Strathcona, North Edmonton, West Edmonton, Beverly
and Jasper Place)[14] and a series of annexations ending in 1982.[15] Edmonton
serves as the northern anchor of the Calgary Edmonton Corridor.[16] Known as the "
Gateway to the North",[17] the city is a staging point for large-scale oil sands
projects occurring in northern Alberta and large-scale diamond mining operation
s in the Northwest Territories.[18]
Edmonton is a cultural, governmental and educational centre. It hosts a year-rou
nd slate of festivals, reflected in the nickname "Canada's Festival City".[1] It
is home to North America's largest mall, West Edmonton Mall (the world's larges
t mall from 1981 until 2004),[19] and Fort Edmonton Park, Canada's largest livin

History[edit]
Further information: History of Edmonton and Timeline of Edmonton history
The earliest known inhabitants settled in the area that is now Edmonton around 3
,000 BC and perhaps as early as 12,000 BC, when an ice-free corridor opened up a
s the last glacial period ended and timber, water, and wildlife became available
in the region.[21]
In 1754, Anthony Henday, an explorer working for the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC),
may have been the first European to enter the Edmonton area.[22] His expedition
s across the Canadian Prairies were mainly to seek contact with the aboriginal p
opulation for the purpose of establishing the fur trade, as competition was fier
ce between the Hudson's Bay Company and the North West Company. By 1795, Fort Ed
monton was established on the north bank of the river, as a major trading post f
or the Hudson's Bay Company.[23] The name of the new fort was suggested by John
Peter Pruden after Edmonton, London, the home town of both the HBC deputy govern
or Sir James Winter Lake, and Pruden.
The coming of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) to southern Alberta in 1885 hel
ped the Edmonton economy, and the 1891 building of the Calgary and Edmonton (C&E
) Railway resulted in the emergence of a railway townsite (South Edmonton/Strath
cona) on the south side of the river, across from Edmonton. The arrival of the C
PR and the C&E Railway facilitated the arrival of settlers and entrepreneurs fro
m eastern Canada, Britain and continental Europe, U.S. and other parts of the wo
rld. The fertile soil and cheap land in the Edmonton area helped attract settler
s, further establishing Edmonton as a major regional commercial and agricultural
centre. Some people participating in the Klondike Gold Rush passed through Sout
h Edmonton/Strathcona in 1897. Strathcona was the northernmost railway point in
North America, but travel to the Klondike was still very difficult for the "Klon
dikers", and a majority of them took a steamship north to the Yukon from Vancouv
er.[24]
Jasper Avenue in Edmonton, ca.1907
Incorporated as a town in 1892 with a population of 700 and then as a city in 19
04 with a population of 8,350,[25] Edmonton became the capital of Alberta when t
he province was formed a year later, on September 1, 1905.[26] In November 1905,
the Canadian Northern Railway (CNR) arrived in Edmonton, accelerating growth.[2
7]
During the early 1900s, Edmonton grew very rapidly, causing speculation in real
estate. In 1912, Edmonton amalgamated with the City of Strathcona, south of the
North Saskatchewan River; as a result, the city extended south of the North Sask
atchewan River for the first time.[28]
Just prior to World War I, the boom ended, and the city's population declined sh
arply from more than 72,000 in 1914 to less than 54,000 only two years later.[29
] Many impoverished families moved to subsistence farms outside the city and oth
ers fled to greener pastures in other provinces.[30] Recruitment to the Canadian
army during the war also contributed to the drop in population.[31] Afterwards,
the city slowly recovered in population and economy during the 1920s and 1930s
and took off again during and after World War II.
The Edmonton City Centre Airport opened in 1929,[32] becoming the first licensed
airfield in Canada.[33] Originally named Blatchford Field in honour of former m
ayor Kenny Blatchford, pioneering aviators such as Wilfrid R. "Wop" May and Max
Ward used Blatchford Field as a major base for the distribution of mail, food, a
nd medicine to Northern Canada; hence Edmonton's emergence as the "Gateway to th

e North". World War II saw Edmonton becoming a major base for the construction o
f the Alaska Highway and the Northwest Staging Route.[34]
Geography[edit]
Edmonton is located on the North Saskatchewan River, and sits at an elevation of
671 metres (2,201 ft).[26] Edmonton is the most northerly city in North America
with a metropolitan population of over one million. It is at the same latitude
as Hamburg (Germany), Dublin (Ireland), Manchester (United Kingdom), and Magnito
gorsk (Russia). North as it is, it is south of the geographic centre of Alberta,
which is located near the Hamlet of Fort Assiniboine.[35] The terrain in and ar
ound Edmonton is generally flat to gently rolling, with ravines and deep river v
alleys, such as the North Saskatchewan River valley.[36] The Canadian Rockies ar
e located about 220 km (140 mi) to the southwest.
The North Saskatchewan River originates at the Columbia Icefield in Jasper Natio
nal Park and bisects the city. Before the construction of two reservoirs near th
e mountains, it would sometimes flood Edmonton's river valley, most notably in t
he North Saskatchewan River flood of 1915. It empties via the Saskatchewan River
, Lake Winnipeg, and the Nelson River into Hudson Bay.[37] It runs from the sout
hwest to the northeast and is fed by numerous creeks throughout the city, such a
s Mill Creek, Whitemud Creek and Blackmud Creek; this creates numerous ravines,
some of which are used for urban parkland.[38] Edmonton is situated at the bound
ary between prairie to the south and boreal forest to the north, in a transition
al area known as aspen parkland. However, the aspen woods and forests in and aro
und Edmonton have long since been reduced by farming and other human activities,
such as oil and natural gas exploration.[39]
Climate[edit]
Edmonton has a humid continental climate (Kppen climate classification Dfb)[40] w
ith relatively low precipitation, and falls into the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 4
a.[41]
The city has milder winters than either Regina[42] or Winnipeg,[43] both further
south of Edmonton in latitude. Its average daily temperatures range from a low
of -10.4 C (13.3 F) in January to a summer peak of 17.7 C (63.9 F) in July.[44] With
average maximum of 23.1 C (73.6 F) in July, and minimum of -14.8 C (5.4 F) in Janua
ry.[45] Annually, temperatures can exceed 30 C (86 F) for an average of four to fi
ve days anytime from late April to mid-September and fall below -20 C (-4 F) for a
n average of 28 days. The highest temperature recorded within the City of Edmont
on was 37.2 C (99.0 F), on June 29, 1937. [46] On July 2, 2013, a record high humi
dex of 43 C (109.4 F) was recorded, due to an unusually humid day with an air temp
erature of 33.9 C (93.0 F) and a record high dewpoint of 23 C (73.4 F). [47][48] The
lowest overall temperature ever recorded in Edmonton was -49.4 C (-56.9 F), on Ja
nuary 19 and 21, 1886.[49]
Typically, summer lasts from late June until early September, and the humidity i
s seldom uncomfortably high. Winter lasts from November to March, and varies gre
atly in length and severity. Spring and autumn are both short and highly variabl
e. Edmonton's growing season is from May 7 to September 23;[50] Edmonton average
s 140 frost free days a year.[51] At the summer solstice, Edmonton receives seve
nteen hours and three minutes of daylight, with an hour and forty-six minutes of
civil twilight.[52] On average Edmonton receives 2,299 hours of bright sunshine
[53] per year and is one of Canada's sunniest cities.[44]
The summer of 2006 was a particularly warm one for Edmonton, as temperatures rea
ched 29 C (84 F) or higher more than 20 times during the year, from as early as mi
d-May and again in early September. The winter of 2011 12 was particularly warm; f
rom December 22, 2011, till March 20, 2012, Edmonton saw temperatures at or abov
e 0.0 C (32.00 F) 53 times at the City Centre Airport.[54][55][56][57]

Edmonton has a fairly dry climate. On average, it receives 476.9 millimetres (18
.78 in) of precipitation, of which 365.7 millimetres (14.40 in) is rain and 111.
2 millimetres (4.38 in) is the melt from 123.5 centimetres (48.6 in) of snowfall
per annum.[44] Precipitation is heaviest in the late spring, summer, and early
autumn. The wettest month is July, while the driest months are February, March,
October, and November.[44] In July, the mean precipitation is 91.7 mm (3.61 in).
[44] Dry spells are not uncommon and may occur at any time of the year. Extremes
do occur, such as the 114 mm (4.49 in) of rainfall that fell on July 31, 1953.[
44] Summer thunderstorms can be frequent and occasionally severe enough to produ
ce large hail, damaging winds, funnel clouds, and even tornadoes. The F4 tornado
that struck Edmonton on July 31, 1987, killing 27, was unusual in many respects
, including severity, duration, damage, and casualties.[citation needed] It is c
ommonly referred to as Black Friday due both to its aberrant characteristics and
the emotional shock it generated.[58] Then-mayor Laurence Decore cited the comm
unity's response to the tornado as evidence that Edmonton was a "city of champio
ns," which later became an unofficial slogan of the city.[1][59]
A massive cluster of thunderstorms occurred on July 11, 2004, with large hail an
d over 100 mm (4 in) of rain reported within the space of an hour in many places
.[60] This "1-in-200 year event" flooded major intersections and underpasses and
damaged both residential and commercial properties. The storm caused extensive
damage to West Edmonton Mall; a small glass section of the roof collapsed under
the weight of the rainwater, causing water to drain onto the mall's indoor ice r
ink. As a result, the mall was forced to undergo an evacuation as a precautionar
y measure.[61]

Parkland and environment[edit]

Streambed in Hawrelak Park
Edmonton's river valley constitutes the longest stretch of connected urban parkl
and in North America, and Edmonton has the highest amount of parkland per capita
of any Canadian city; the river valley is 22 times larger than New York City's
Central Park.[63] The river valley is home to various parks ranging from fully s
erviced urban parks to campsite-like facilities with few amenities. This main "R
ibbon of Green" is supplemented by numerous neighbourhood parks located througho
ut the city, to give a total of 111 km2 (27,400 acres) of parkland.[63] Within t
he 7,400 ha (18,000 acres), 25 km (16 mi)-long river valley park system, there a
re 11 lakes, 14 ravines, and 22 major parks, and most of the city has accessible
bike and walking trail connections.[64] These trails are also part of the 235 k
m (146 mi) Waskahegan walking trail. The City of Edmonton has named five parks i
n its River Valley Parks System in honour of each of "The Famous Five".[65]
Edmonton's streets and parklands also contain one of the largest remaining conce
ntrations of healthy American elm trees in the world, unaffected by Dutch elm di
sease, which has wiped out vast numbers of such trees in eastern North America.
Jack pine, lodgepole pine, white spruce, white birch, aspen, mountain ash, Amur
maple, Russian olive, green ash, basswood, various poplars and willows, flowerin
g crabapple, Mayday tree and Manitoba maple are also abundant; bur oak, silver m
aple, hawthorn and Ohio buckeye are increasingly popular. Other introduced tree
species include white ash, blue spruce, Norway maple, red oak, sugar maple, comm
bu
on horse-chestnut, McIntosh apple, and Evans cherry.[66] Three walnut species
tternut, Manchurian walnut, and black walnut have survived in Edmonton.[67]
Several golf courses, both public and private, are also located in the river val
ley; the long summer daylight hours of this northern city provide for extended p

lay from early morning well into the evening.[68] Golf courses and the park syst
em become a winter recreation area during this season, and cross-country skiing
and skating are popular during the long winter. Four downhill ski slopes are loc
ated in the river valley as well, two within the city and two immediately outsid
e.[69]
A variety of volunteer opportunities exist for citizens to participate in the st
ewardship of Edmonton's parkland and river valley. Volunteer programs include Ri
ver Valley Clean-up, Root for Trees, and Partner in Parks.[70] River Valley Clea
n-up engages volunteers to pick up hundreds of bags of litter each year.
Neighbourhoods[edit]

Edmonton is divided into 375 neighbourhoods[71] within 7 geographic sectors
a ma
ture area sector, which includes neighbourhoods that were essentially built out
prior to 1970,[72] and 6 surrounding suburban sectors.[73]
Edmonton's Downtown is located within the city's mature area or inner city.[73]
It and the surrounding Boyle Street, Central McDougall, Cloverdale, Garneau, McC
auley, Oliver, Queen Mary Park, Riverdale, Rossdale, Strathcona and University o
f Alberta form Edmonton's Central Core.[72] Oliver and Garneau are the city's mo
st populated and most densely populated neighbourhoods respectively. The mature
area sector also contains the five former urban municipalities annexed by the ci
ty over its history Beverly, Jasper Place, North Edmonton, Strathcona and West E
dmonton (Calder).[15][73]
Larger residential areas within Edmonton's six suburban sectors,[73] each compri
sing multiple neighbourhoods,[74] include: Heritage Valley, Kaskitayo, Riverbend
, Terwillegar Heights and Windermere (southwest sector); The Grange, Lewis Farms
and West Jasper Place (west sector); Big Lake (northwest sector); Castle Downs,
Lake District and The Palisades (north sector); Casselman-Steele Heights, Clare
view, Hermitage and Pilot Sound (northeast sector); and Ellerslie, The Meadows,
Mill Woods and Southeast Edmonton (southeast sector).[75] Mill Woods is divided
into a town centre community (Mill Woods Town Centre)[76] and eight surrounding
communities[77] Burnewood, Knottwood, Lakewood, Millbourne, Millhurst, Ridgewood
, Southwood, and Woodvale[78][79]
each having between two to four neighbourhoods
.[74]
Several transit-oriented developments (TOD) have begun to appear along the LRT l
ine at Clareview, with future developments planned at Belvedere (part of the Old
Town Fort Road Redevelopment Project).[80] Another TOD, called Century Park,[81
] is being constructed at the site of what was once Heritage Mall, at the southe
rn end of the LRT line. Century Park will eventually house up to 5,000 residents
.[82]
The Edmonton City Centre Airport is planned to be redeveloped into a sustainable
community of 30,000 people comprising a transit-oriented mixed use town centre,
townhouses, low, medium and high rise apartments, neighbourhood retail and serv
ice uses, and a major park.[83]
Edmonton has four major industrial districts the Northwest Industrial District,
the Northeast Industrial District, the Southeast Industrial District and the eme
rging Edmonton Energy and Technology Park,[84] which is part of Alberta's Indust
rial Heartland.[85] The northwest, northeast and southeast districts each have s
maller industrial areas and neighbourhoods within them.[74][84]

Metropolitan area[edit]
Main article: Edmonton Capital Region
Edmonton is at the centre of Canada's sixth largest census metropolitan area (CM
A),[5] which includes Edmonton and 34 other municipalities in the surrounding ar
ea.[87] Larger urban communities include Sherwood Park (an urban service area wi
thin Strathcona County), the cities of St. Albert, Leduc, Spruce Grove and Fort
Saskatchewan, and the towns of Stony Plain, Beaumont, Morinville, and Devon.[88]
Major employment areas outside of Edmonton but within the CMA include the Nisku
Industrial Business Park and the Edmonton International Airport (including a pl
anned inland port logistics support facility in support of the Port Alberta init
iative)[89] in Leduc County, the Acheson Industrial Area in Parkland County, Ref
inery Row in Strathcona County and Alberta's Industrial Heartland[90] within por
tions of Fort Saskatchewan, Strathcona County and Sturgeon County.[91] Alberta's
Industrial Heartland also extends beyond the CMA's northeastern boundary[16] in
to a portion of Lamont County.[91]
The individual economic development interests and costs of service delivery in c
ertain municipalities within the region has led to intermunicipal competition, s
trained intermunicipal relationships and overall fragmentation of the region. Al
though several attempts have been made by the City of Edmonton to absorb surroun
ding municipalities[92] or annex portions of its neighbours,[93] the city has no
t absorbed another municipality since the Town of Jasper Place joined Edmonton o
n August 17, 1964[94] and the city has not annexed land from any of its neighbou
rs since January 1, 1982.[95] After years of mounting pressure in the early 21st
century, the Province of Alberta formed the Capital Region Board (CRB) on April
15, 2008.[96] The CRB consists of 24 member municipalities 22 of which are with
in the Edmonton CMA and two of which are outside the CMA. The City of Edmonton s
ubsequently announced in March 2013 its intent to annex 156 square kilometers of
land (including the Edmonton International Airport) from Leduc County.[97]

Edmonton is the major economic centre for northern and central Alberta and a maj
or centre for the oil and gas industry. As of 2014, the estimated value of major
projects within the Edmonton Capital Region was $57.8-billion, of which $34.4-b
illion are within the oil and gas, oil sands and pipeline sectors.[138]

Edmonton traditionally has been a hub for Albertan petrochemical industries, ear
ning it the nickname "Oil Capital of Canada" in the 1940s.[139] Supply and servi
ce industries drive the energy extraction engine, while research develops new te
chnologies and supports expanded value-added processing of Alberta's massive oil
, gas, and oil sands reserves. These are reported to be the second-largest in th
e world, after Saudi Arabia.[140]

The National Institute for Nanotechnology
Much of the growth in technology sectors is due to Edmonton's reputation as one
of Canada s premier research and education centres. Research initiatives are ancho
red by educational institutions such as the University of Alberta (U of A) as we
ll as government initiatives underway at the Alberta Research Council and Edmont
on Research Park. The U of A campus is home to the National Institute for Nanote
chnology.[141]
During the 1970s and 1980s, Edmonton became a major financial centre, with both
regional offices of Canada's major banks and locally based institutions opening.
[142] However, the turmoil of the late-1980s economy radically changed the situa
tion. Locally based operations such as Principal Trust and Canadian Commercial B
ank[143] would fail, and some regional offices were moved to other cities. The 1
990s saw a solidification of the economy, and Edmonton is now home to Canadian W
estern Bank, the only publicly traded Schedule I chartered bank headquarters wes
t of Toronto.[144] Other major financial centres include ATB Financial, Servus C
redit Union (formerly Capital City Savings), TD Canada Trust and Manulife Financ
ial.[145]
Edmonton has been the birthplace of several companies that have grown to interna
tional stature.[146] The local retail market has also seen the creation of many
successful store concepts, such as The Brick, Katz Group, AutoCanada, Boston Piz
za, Pizza 73, Liquor Stores GP (which includes Liquor Depot, Liquor Barn, OK Liq
uor, and Grapes & Grains), Planet Organic, Shaw Communications, Empire Design, R
unning Room, Booster Juice, Earl's, Fountain Tire and XS Cargo.[147]
Edmonton's geographical location has made it an ideal spot for distribution and
logistics. CN Rail's North American operational facility is located in the city,
as well as a major intermodal facility that handles all incoming freight from t
he port of Prince Rupert in British Columbia.[148]
Retail[edit]

West Edmonton Mall.


Edmonton is home to several shopping malls, including Canada's first mall, Westm
ount Centre; and the largest mall in North America, West Edmonton Mall, which is
also considered to be the 10th largest mall in the world.[149][150] Other menti
onable malls include Bonnie Doon Shopping Centre, Edmonton City Centre (a combin
ation of the former Edmonton Centre and Eaton Centre malls), Southgate Centre, K
ingsway Mall, Northgate Centre, Abbotsfield Mall, Londonderry Mall, and Mill Woo
ds Town Centre.[151]
Edmonton also has many big box shopping centres and power centres. Some of the m
ajor ones include South Edmonton Common (North America's largest open air retail
development),[152] Skyview Power Centre, Terra Losa Centre, Oliver Square, Sout
hpark Centre, The Meadows, Christy's Corner, and Westpoint. In 2008, constructio
n started on the Windermere power centre.[153]
In contrast to suburban centres, Edmonton has many urban retail locations. The l
argest of them all, Old Strathcona, includes many independent stores between 99
Street and 109 Street on Whyte Avenue and area.[154] In around the downtown of E
dmonton, there are a small handful of shopping districts, such as previously men
tioned Edmonton City Centre mall, Jasper Avenue and 104 Street. Near Oliver, 124
Street is home to a significant number of retail stores. Edmonton is the Canadi
an testing-ground for many American retailers, such as Bath & Body Works and Cal
vin Klein.[155]

ncert halls in Canada, it is home to the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra and hosts a
wide variety of shows every year. It seats 1,932 patrons and houses the $3-mill
ion Davis Concert Organ, the largest concert organ in Canada.[158] Across 102 Av
enue is the Citadel Theatre, named after The Salvation Army Citadel in which Joe
Shoctor first started the Citadel Theatre Company in 1965. It is now one of the
largest theatre complexes in Canada, with five halls, each specializing in diff
erent kinds of productions.[159] On the University of Alberta grounds is the 2,5
34-seat Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium, which were undertaken over a year o
f heavy renovations carried out as part of the province's 2005 centennial celebr
ations. Both it and its southern twin in Calgary were constructed in 1955 for th
e province's golden jubilee and have hosted many concerts, musicals, and ballets
. The Edmonton Opera uses the Jubilee as its base of operations. On the front of
the building is a quote from Suetonius' Life of Augustus: "He found a city buil
left it built of marble."

There are many museums in Edmonton of various sizes.[173] The largest is the Roy
al Alberta Museum (RAM), which was formerly known as the Provincial Museum of Al
berta until it was renamed in honour of Queen Elizabeth II's 2005 Alberta centen
nial visit. The RAM houses over 10 million objects in its collection and showcas
es the culture and practices of the diverse aboriginal tribes of the region. The
main building, overlooking the river valley west of the city centre in the Glen
ora neighbourhood, was opened in 1967 and is now in the early stages of large-sc
ale redevelopment.[174]
The Telus World of Science is located in the Woodcroft neighbourhood northwest o
f the city centre. It opened in 1984 and has since been expanded several times.
It contains five permanent galleries, one additional gallery for temporary exhib
its, an IMAX theatre, a planetarium, an observatory, and an amateur radio statio

n. The Edmonton Valley Zoo is in the river valley to the southwest of the city c
entre.[175]
The Alberta Aviation Museum, located in a hangar at the City Centre Airport, was
built for the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. Its collection includes b

s Heritage Centre in central Edmonton. In addition to a collection of artifacts
tracing the history of the telephone, the museum has its own theatre featuring a
brief film led by the robot Xeldon.[176]
The Alberta Railway Museum[177] is located in the rural northeast portion of the
city. It contains a variety of locomotives and railroad cars from different per
iods, and includes a working steam locomotive. Since most of its exhibits are ou
tdoors, it is only open between Victoria Day and Labour Day.
Fort Edmonton Park, Canada's largest living history museum, is located in the ri
ver valley southwest of the city centre. Edmonton's heritage is displayed throug
h historical buildings (many of which are originals moved to the park), costumed
historical interpreters, and authentic artifacts. In total, it covers the regio
n's history from approximately 1795 to 1929 (represented by Fort Edmonton), foll
owed chronologically by 1885, 1905, and 1920 streets, and a recreation of a 1920
s midway. A steam train, streetcars, automobiles and horse-drawn vehicles may be
seen in operation (and utilized by the public) around the park. The John Walter
Museum and Historical Area (c. 1875 to 1901) is on the Canadian Register of His
toric Places.[178] The University of Alberta operates its own internal Museums a
nd Collections service.[179]
The Art Gallery of Alberta (AGA) is the city's largest single gallery. Formerly
housed in an inconspicuous 1970s building downtown, the AGA collection had over
5,000 pieces of art. The former AGA building was demolished in July 2007 to make
way for construction of a new facility designed by Randall Stout. It was estima
ted to cost over $88-million and the amount that Edmonton City Council donated t
owards its construction was met with some controversy. The AGA officially opened
on January 31, 2010.[180] Independent galleries can be found throughout the cit
y, especially along the 124 Street/Jasper Avenue corridor, known as the "gallery
walk".[181]
Music[edit]
Further information: List of musicians from Edmonton
In the city's early days, music was performed in churches and community halls. E
dmonton has a history of opera and classical music performance; both genres hist
orically have been supported by a variety of clubs and associations. Edmonton's
first major radio station, CKUA, began broadcasting music in 1927.[182] The city
is a centre for music instruction; the University of Alberta began its music de
partment in 1945, and MacEwan University opened a jazz and musical theatre progr
am in 1980. Festivals of jazz, folk, and classical music are popular entertainme
nt events in the city.[183]
The Edmonton Symphony Orchestra has existed under various incarnations since 191

3. In 1952, the Edmonton Philharmonic and the Edmonton Pops orchestras amalgamat
ed to form the 60-member modern version. The Orchestra performs at the Francis W
inspear Centre for Music.[184]

the area through the establishment of a business revitalization zone has produce
d an area rich with restored historical buildings and pleasant streetscapes.[86]
Its proximity to the University of Alberta has led to a high number of establis
hments ranging from restaurants and pubs to trendy clubs while hosting a wide va

independent movie theatres: the Garneau and Princess theatres, as well as severa
l live theatre, music, and comedy venues.[189]
Downtown Edmonton has undergone a continual process of renewal and growth since

he 1960s and continuing into the 1980s, to make way for office towers. As such,
there have always been numerous pub-type establishments, as well as many hotel l
ounges and restaurants. The past decade has seen a strong resurgence in more mai
nstream venues. Edmonton also has a high demand for pub crawl tours in the city.
Various clubs are also to be found along Edmonton's main street, Jasper Avenue.

Government[edit]
Matthew McCauley, first mayor of Edmonton
In 1892 Edmonton was incorporated as a town. The first mayor was Matthew McCaule
y, who established the first school board in Edmonton and Board of Trade (later
Chamber of Commerce) and a municipal police service.[198] Due to mayor McCauley'
s good relationship with the federal Liberals this helped Edmonton to maintain p
olitical prominence over Strathcona, a rival settlement on the south bank of the
North Saskatchewan River.[198] Edmonton was incorporated as a city in 1904 and
became the capital of Alberta in 1905.
Unions and radical organizations such as the Industrial Workers of the World str
uggled for progressive social change through the early years, with the first ref
ormer, James East, being elected in 1912, followed by the first official Labour
alderman, James Kinney, the following year. Many thousands of workers participat
ed in the Edmonton general strike of 1919 and a strong block of Labour represent
atives were on council after the next election: James Kinney, James East, Sam Mc
Coppen, Joe Clarke and Rice Sheppard.
Labour representation on city council would become a near-majority in 1929, and,
during the Great Depression, a full majority from 1932 to 1934.[199] Jan Reimer
became the city's first female mayor, when she was elected in 1989.[200]

Municipal politics[edit]
Edmonton is represented by a mayor and 12 councillors one for each of the 12 wards
. On July 22, 2009 City Council adopted an electoral system that divides Edmonto
n into 12 wards, instead of the previous two for each of six wards. This system
came into effect with the following election in October 2010.[201] The most rece
nt election was held in October 2013, and elected members to a four-year term.
Provincial politics[edit]

ght.
Provincial Legislature of Alberta
Edmonton is the capital of the province of Alberta and holds all main provincial
areas of government such as the Provincial Legislature of Alberta. The Edmonton
region is represented by 20 MLAs, one for each provincial electoral district. M
any of these boundaries have been changed, adjusted and renamed while the city h
as grown.[202] In the current 29th Alberta Legislature all of Edmonton's distric
ts are represented by members from the governing Alberta New Democratic Party.[2
03] Six of these members are cabinet ministers while one of them is also the Pre
mier of Alberta, Rachel Notley.[204]
Crime[edit]
The city's police force, the Edmonton Police Service, was founded in 1892, and h
ad approximately 1,400 officers in 2012.[205] Edmonton experienced a decrease in
crime in the 1990s, an increase in the early 2000s,[206] and another downturn a
t the end of the decade.
The Edmonton census metropolitan area (CMA) had a crime severity index of 84.5 i
n 2013, which is higher the national average of 68.7.[207] Its crime severity in
dex was the fifth-highest among CMAs in Canada behind Regina, Saskatoon, Kelowna
and Vancouver.[207] Edmonton had the fourth-most homicides in 2013 at 27.[207]

Military[edit]
Edmonton is home to 1 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group (1 CMBG), the Regular Fo
rce army brigade group of Land Force Western Area of the Canadian Army. Units in
1 CMBG include Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians), 1 Combat Engineer Reg
iment, two of the three regular force battalions of Princess Patricia's Canadian
Light Infantry, and various headquarters, service, and support elements. Althou
gh not part of 1 CMBG, 408 Tactical Helicopter Squadron and 1 Field Ambulance ar
e located with the brigade group. All of these units are located at Lancaster Pa
rk, immediately north of the city. From 1943, as CFB Namao (now CFB Edmonton/Edm
onton Garrison), it was a major air force base.[208] In 1996, all fixed-wing avi
ation units were transferred to CFB Cold Lake.
The Canadian Airborne Training Centre had been located in the city in the 1980s.
The move of 1 CMBG and component units from Calgary occurred in 1996 in what wa
s described as a cost-saving measure.[209] The brigade had existed in Calgary si
nce the 1950s, and Lord Strathcona's Horse had traditionally been a Calgary garr
ison unit dating back to before World War I.
Edmonton also has a large army reserve element from 41 Canadian Brigade Group (4
1 CBG), including The Loyal Edmonton Regiment (4th Battalion, Princess Patricia'
s Canadian Light Infantry); 41 Combat Engineer Regiment; HQ Battery, 20th Field
Artillery Regiment; and B Squadron of The South Alberta Light Horse, one of Albe
rta's oldest army reserve units. Despite being far from Canada's coasts, Edmonto
n is also the home of HMCS Nonsuch,[210] a naval reserve division. There are num
erous cadet corps[211] of the different elements (naval, army and air force) wit
hin Edmonton as well.
Infrastructure[edit]
Transportation[edit]
Main article: Transportation in Edmonton
Aviation[edit]
Edmonton International Airport's South Terminal.
See also: List of airports in the Edmonton Capital Region
Edmonton is a major air transportation gateway to northern Alberta and northern
Canada.[26] The Edmonton International Airport (EIA) is the main airport serving
the city.
The EIA provides passenger service to destinations in the United States, Europe,
Mexico, and the Caribbean. The EIA is located within Leduc County, adjacent to
the City of Leduc and the Nisku Industrial Business Park. With direct air distan
ces from Edmonton to places such as London in Europe being shorter than to other
main airports in western North America,[212] Edmonton Airports is working to es
tablish a major container shipping hub called Port Alberta.[213]
Rail[edit]
Edmonton serves as a major transportation hub for Canadian National Railway, who
se North American operations management centre is located at their Edmonton offi
ces. It is also tied into the Canadian Pacific Railway network, which provides s
ervice from Calgary to the south and extends northeast of Edmonton to serve Albe
rta's Industrial Heartland.
Inter-city rail passenger rail service is provided by Via Rail's premier train,
the Canadian, as it travels between Vancouver, British Columbia, and Toronto, On
tario. Passenger trains stop at the Edmonton railway station three days a week i
n both directions. The train connects Edmonton to multiple stops in British Colu
mbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario.[214]
Public transit[edit]

Bay/Enterprise Square LRT station


The Edmonton Transit System (ETS) is the city's public transit agency, operating
the Edmonton Light Rail Transit (LRT) line as well as a fleet of buses.[215] Ap
proximately one-third of people in the Edmonton Capital Region (mostly from Edmo
nton proper) use ETS per day (354,440[216][217] out of 1,034,945[218]). There ar
e approximately 280,000 ETS bus riders on average per day.[216]
From the 1990s to early 2009, Edmonton was one of two cities in Canada still ope
rating trolley buses, along with Vancouver. On June 18, 2008, City Council decid
ed to abandon the Edmonton trolley bus system[219] and the last trolley bus ran
on May 2, 2009.[220][221]
Scheduled LRT service began on April 23, 1978, with five extensions of the singl
e line completed since.[222] The original Edmonton line is considered to be the
first "modern" light rail line in North America (i.e., built from scratch, rathe
r than being an upgrade of an old system). It introduced the use of German-desig
ned rolling stock that subsequently became the standard light rail vehicle of th
e United States.[222] The Edmonton "proof-of-payment" fare collection system ado
pted in 1980
modelled after European ticket systems
became the North American tr
ansit industry's preferred approach for subsequent light rail projects.[223] The
four-year South LRT extension was opened in full on April 24, 2010, which sees
trains travelling to Century Park[224] (located at 23 Avenue and 111 Street), ma
king stops at South Campus and Southgate Centre along the way.[224] A line to th
e Northern Alberta Institute of Technology in north-central Edmonton using the s
ame high floor technology of the existing system opened September 6, 2015. Edmon
ton is also expanding the LRT to Mill Woods (the southeast) by 2020 and to Lewis
Farms (the west) thereafter using low floor technology.
Roads[edit]
Stony Plain Road looking towards downtown
A largely gridded system forms most of Edmonton's street and road network.[225]
The address system is mostly numbered, with streets running south to north and a
venues running east to west. In built-up areas built since the 1950s, local stre
ets and major roadways generally do not conform to the grid system. Major roadwa
ys include Kingsway, Yellowhead Trail (Highway 16), Whitemud Drive and Anthony H
enday Drive, and the city is connected to other communities elsewhere in Alberta
, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan via the Yellowhead Highway to the west and
east and the Queen Elizabeth II Highway (Alberta Highway 2) to the south.[226][2
27]
Trail system[edit]
There is an extensive multi-use trail system for bicycles and pedestrians throug
hout the city; however, most of this is within the river valley parkland system.
[228]
Electricity and water[edit]
EPCOR's former Rossdale Power Plant.
Edmonton's first power company established itself in 1891 and installed streetli
ghts along the city's main avenue, Jasper Avenue. The power company was bought b
y the Town of Edmonton in 1902 and remains under municipal ownership today as EP
COR. Also in charge of water treatment, in 2002 EPCOR installed the world's larg
est ultraviolet (UV) water treatment or ultraviolet disinfection system at its E
.L. Smith Water Treatment Plant.[229]
Waste disposal[edit]
The Edmonton Composting Facility, the largest of its type in the world, is also
the largest stainless steel building in North America.[230] By 2016, the city an

ticipates that it will divert more than 90 percent of the city's household waste
from the landfills.[230][231] Among the innovative uses for the city's waste in
cludes a Christmas tree recycling program. The trees are collected each January
and put through a woodchipper; this material is used as an addition to the compo
sting process. In addition, the wood chips absorb much of the odour produced by
the compost by providing a biofilter element to trap odour causing gaseous resul
ts of the process.[232]
Together, the Waste Management Centre and Wastewater Treatment plant are known a
s the Edmonton Waste Management Centre of Excellence. Research partners include
the University of Alberta, the Alberta Research Council, the Northern Alberta In
stitute of Technology, and Olds College.[233]
Health care[edit]
University Hospital Complex at the University of Alberta.
There are four main hospitals serving Edmonton: University of Alberta Hospital,
Royal Alexandra Hospital, Misericordia Community Hospital, and Grey Nuns Communi
ty Hospital.[234] Other area hospitals include Sturgeon Community Hospital in St
. Albert, Leduc Community Hospital in Leduc, Westview Health Centre in Stony Pla
in, and Fort Saskatchewan Community Hospital in Fort Saskatchewan. Dedicated psy
chiatric care is provided at the Alberta Hospital. The Northeast Community Healt
h Centre offers a 24-hour emergency room with no inpatient ward services. The Un
iversity of Alberta Hospital is the centre of a larger complex of hospitals and
clinics located adjacent to the university campus which comprises the Stollery C
hildren's Hospital, Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute, Cross Cancer Institute,
Zeidler Gastrointestinal Health Centre, Ledcor Clinical Training Centre, and Ed
monton Clinic. Several health research institutes, including the Heritage Medica
l Research Centre, Medical Sciences Building, Katz Group Centre for Pharmacy and
Health Research, and Li Ka Shing Centre for Health Research Innovation, are als
o located at this site. A similar set-up is also evident at the Royal Alexandra
Hospital, which is connected to the Lois Hole Hospital for Women and Orthopaedic
Surgery Centre. All hospitals are under the administration of Alberta Health Se
rvices, although Misericordia and Grey Nuns are run separately by Covenant Healt
h.[235]
Education[edit]
Entryway to MacEwan University's downtown campus.
Secondary[edit]
Edmonton has three publicly funded school boards (districts) that provide kinder
garten and grades 1 12. The vast majority of students attend schools in the two la
rge English language boards: Edmonton Public Schools, and the separate Edmonton
Catholic School District.[236] Also, since 1994, the Francophone minority commun
ity has had their own school board based in Edmonton, the Greater North Central
Francophone Education Region No. 2, which includes surrounding communities. The
city also has a number of public charter schools that are independent of any boa
rd. All three school boards and public charter schools are funded through provin
cial grants and property taxes.
Some private schools exist as well, including Edmonton Academy,[237] Progressive
Academy[238] and Tempo School.[239] The Edmonton Society for Christian Educatio
n[240] and Millwoods Christian School (not part of the former) used to be privat
e schools; however, both have become part of Edmonton Public Schools as alternat
ive programs.[241][242]
Both the Edmonton Public Schools and the Edmonton Catholic School District provi
de support and resources for those wishing to homeschool their children.[243]
Post-secondary[edit]

Those post-secondary institutions based in Edmonton that are publicly funded inc
lude Concordia University College of Alberta, MacEwan University, The King's Uni
versity College, NorQuest College, the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology
(NAIT) and the University of Alberta (U of A).[244] The publicly funded Athabasc
a University and the University of Lethbridge[244] also have campuses in Edmonto
n.[245][246]
The U of A is a board-governed institution[247] that has an annual revenue of ov
er one billion dollars.[248] In 2011/12, the university had over 38,000 students
enrolled within nearly 400 undergraduate, graduate and professional programs, a
s well as over 15,000 students enrolled in its faculty of extension.[249] The U
of A is also home to the second-largest research library system in Canada.[250]
In 2010/11, MacEwan University had a total student population of over 43,000 stu
dents, including nearly 14,000 full-time students, enrolled in programs offering
bachelor's degrees, university transfers, diplomas and certificates.[251] NAIT
has an approximate total of 61,200 students enrolled in more than 200 programs[2
52] while NorQuest College has approximately 8,500 students enrolled in various
full-time, part-time and continuing education programs.[253]
Other post-secondary institutions within Edmonton include Taylor University Coll
ege and Seminary[254] and Yellowhead Tribal College, a First Nations college.[25
5]
Media[edit]
Main article: Media in Edmonton
Edmonton has seven local broadcast television stations shown on basic cable TV o
r over-the-air, with the oldest broadcasters in the city being CTV (1961) and CB
C (1954).[256] Most of Edmonton's conventional television stations have made the
switch to over-the-air digital broadcasting. The cable television providers in
Edmonton are Telus (for IPTV) and Shaw Cable. Twenty-one FM and eight AM radio s
tations are based in Edmonton.[257]
Edmonton has two large-circulation daily newspapers, the Edmonton Journal and th
e Edmonton Sun. The Journal, established in 1903 and owned by the Postmedia Netw
ork, has a daily circulation of 112,000, while the Sun, established in 1978 and
owned by Sun Media, has a circulation of 55,000.[258] The Journal no longer publ
ishes a Sunday edition as of July 2012.[259]
There is one free daily newspaper in the city, Metro.[260] The magazine Vue Week
ly is published on a weekly basis and focuses on alternative news.[261] The Edmo
nton Examiner is a city-wide community based paper also published weekly.[262] T
here are also a number of smaller weekly and community newspapers.

Edmonton Listeni/'?dm?nt?n/ is the capital of Alberta, Canada. Edmonton is on th
e North Saskatchewan River and is the centre of the Edmonton Capital Region, whi
ch is surrounded by Alberta's central region.
The city had a population of 877,926 in the 2014 census,[11] is Alberta's second
-largest city and Canada's fifth-largest municipality. This population represent
s 66 percent of the total 2014 population of 1,328,300[12] within the Edmonton c
ensus metropolitan area (CMA), Canada's fifth-largest CMA by population. Edmonto
n is the most northern North American city with a metropolitan population over o
ne million. A resident of Edmonton is known as an Edmontonian.[13]
Edmonton's historic growth has been facilitated through the absorption of five a
djacent urban municipalities (Strathcona, North Edmonton, West Edmonton, Beverly
and Jasper Place)[14] and a series of annexations ending in 1982.[15] Edmonton
serves as the northern anchor of the Calgary Edmonton Corridor.[16] Known as the "
Gateway to the North",[17] the city is a staging point for large-scale oil sands
projects occurring in northern Alberta and large-scale diamond mining operation
s in the Northwest Territories.[18]

Edmonton is a cultural, governmental and educational centre. It hosts a year-rou


nd slate of festivals, reflected in the nickname "Canada's Festival City".[1] It
is home to North America's largest mall, West Edmonton Mall (the world's larges
t mall from 1981 until 2004),[19] and Fort Edmonton Park, Canada's largest livin

History[edit]
Further information: History of Edmonton and Timeline of Edmonton history
The earliest known inhabitants settled in the area that is now Edmonton around 3
,000 BC and perhaps as early as 12,000 BC, when an ice-free corridor opened up a
s the last glacial period ended and timber, water, and wildlife became available
in the region.[21]
In 1754, Anthony Henday, an explorer working for the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC),
may have been the first European to enter the Edmonton area.[22] His expedition
s across the Canadian Prairies were mainly to seek contact with the aboriginal p
opulation for the purpose of establishing the fur trade, as competition was fier
ce between the Hudson's Bay Company and the North West Company. By 1795, Fort Ed
monton was established on the north bank of the river, as a major trading post f
or the Hudson's Bay Company.[23] The name of the new fort was suggested by John
Peter Pruden after Edmonton, London, the home town of both the HBC deputy govern
or Sir James Winter Lake, and Pruden.
The coming of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) to southern Alberta in 1885 hel
ped the Edmonton economy, and the 1891 building of the Calgary and Edmonton (C&E
) Railway resulted in the emergence of a railway townsite (South Edmonton/Strath
cona) on the south side of the river, across from Edmonton. The arrival of the C
PR and the C&E Railway facilitated the arrival of settlers and entrepreneurs fro
m eastern Canada, Britain and continental Europe, U.S. and other parts of the wo
rld. The fertile soil and cheap land in the Edmonton area helped attract settler

s, further establishing Edmonton as a major regional commercial and agricultural


centre. Some people participating in the Klondike Gold Rush passed through Sout
h Edmonton/Strathcona in 1897. Strathcona was the northernmost railway point in
North America, but travel to the Klondike was still very difficult for the "Klon
dikers", and a majority of them took a steamship north to the Yukon from Vancouv
er.[24]
Jasper Avenue in Edmonton, ca.1907
Incorporated as a town in 1892 with a population of 700 and then as a city in 19
04 with a population of 8,350,[25] Edmonton became the capital of Alberta when t
he province was formed a year later, on September 1, 1905.[26] In November 1905,
the Canadian Northern Railway (CNR) arrived in Edmonton, accelerating growth.[2
7]
During the early 1900s, Edmonton grew very rapidly, causing speculation in real
estate. In 1912, Edmonton amalgamated with the City of Strathcona, south of the
North Saskatchewan River; as a result, the city extended south of the North Sask
atchewan River for the first time.[28]
Just prior to World War I, the boom ended, and the city's population declined sh
arply from more than 72,000 in 1914 to less than 54,000 only two years later.[29
] Many impoverished families moved to subsistence farms outside the city and oth
ers fled to greener pastures in other provinces.[30] Recruitment to the Canadian
army during the war also contributed to the drop in population.[31] Afterwards,
the city slowly recovered in population and economy during the 1920s and 1930s
and took off again during and after World War II.
The Edmonton City Centre Airport opened in 1929,[32] becoming the first licensed
airfield in Canada.[33] Originally named Blatchford Field in honour of former m
ayor Kenny Blatchford, pioneering aviators such as Wilfrid R. "Wop" May and Max
Ward used Blatchford Field as a major base for the distribution of mail, food, a
nd medicine to Northern Canada; hence Edmonton's emergence as the "Gateway to th
e North". World War II saw Edmonton becoming a major base for the construction o
f the Alaska Highway and the Northwest Staging Route.[34]
Geography[edit]
Edmonton is located on the North Saskatchewan River, and sits at an elevation of
671 metres (2,201 ft).[26] Edmonton is the most northerly city in North America
with a metropolitan population of over one million. It is at the same latitude
as Hamburg (Germany), Dublin (Ireland), Manchester (United Kingdom), and Magnito
gorsk (Russia). North as it is, it is south of the geographic centre of Alberta,
which is located near the Hamlet of Fort Assiniboine.[35] The terrain in and ar
ound Edmonton is generally flat to gently rolling, with ravines and deep river v
alleys, such as the North Saskatchewan River valley.[36] The Canadian Rockies ar
e located about 220 km (140 mi) to the southwest.
The North Saskatchewan River originates at the Columbia Icefield in Jasper Natio
nal Park and bisects the city. Before the construction of two reservoirs near th
e mountains, it would sometimes flood Edmonton's river valley, most notably in t
he North Saskatchewan River flood of 1915. It empties via the Saskatchewan River
, Lake Winnipeg, and the Nelson River into Hudson Bay.[37] It runs from the sout
hwest to the northeast and is fed by numerous creeks throughout the city, such a
s Mill Creek, Whitemud Creek and Blackmud Creek; this creates numerous ravines,
some of which are used for urban parkland.[38] Edmonton is situated at the bound
ary between prairie to the south and boreal forest to the north, in a transition
al area known as aspen parkland. However, the aspen woods and forests in and aro
und Edmonton have long since been reduced by farming and other human activities,
such as oil and natural gas exploration.[39]

Climate[edit]
Edmonton has a humid continental climate (Kppen climate classification Dfb)[40] w
ith relatively low precipitation, and falls into the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 4
a.[41]
The city has milder winters than either Regina[42] or Winnipeg,[43] both further
south of Edmonton in latitude. Its average daily temperatures range from a low
of -10.4 C (13.3 F) in January to a summer peak of 17.7 C (63.9 F) in July.[44] With
average maximum of 23.1 C (73.6 F) in July, and minimum of -14.8 C (5.4 F) in Janua
ry.[45] Annually, temperatures can exceed 30 C (86 F) for an average of four to fi
ve days anytime from late April to mid-September and fall below -20 C (-4 F) for a
n average of 28 days. The highest temperature recorded within the City of Edmont
on was 37.2 C (99.0 F), on June 29, 1937. [46] On July 2, 2013, a record high humi
dex of 43 C (109.4 F) was recorded, due to an unusually humid day with an air temp
erature of 33.9 C (93.0 F) and a record high dewpoint of 23 C (73.4 F). [47][48] The
lowest overall temperature ever recorded in Edmonton was -49.4 C (-56.9 F), on Ja
nuary 19 and 21, 1886.[49]
Typically, summer lasts from late June until early September, and the humidity i
s seldom uncomfortably high. Winter lasts from November to March, and varies gre
atly in length and severity. Spring and autumn are both short and highly variabl
e. Edmonton's growing season is from May 7 to September 23;[50] Edmonton average
s 140 frost free days a year.[51] At the summer solstice, Edmonton receives seve
nteen hours and three minutes of daylight, with an hour and forty-six minutes of
civil twilight.[52] On average Edmonton receives 2,299 hours of bright sunshine
[53] per year and is one of Canada's sunniest cities.[44]
The summer of 2006 was a particularly warm one for Edmonton, as temperatures rea
ched 29 C (84 F) or higher more than 20 times during the year, from as early as mi
d-May and again in early September. The winter of 2011 12 was particularly warm; f
rom December 22, 2011, till March 20, 2012, Edmonton saw temperatures at or abov
e 0.0 C (32.00 F) 53 times at the City Centre Airport.[54][55][56][57]
Edmonton has a fairly dry climate. On average, it receives 476.9 millimetres (18
.78 in) of precipitation, of which 365.7 millimetres (14.40 in) is rain and 111.
2 millimetres (4.38 in) is the melt from 123.5 centimetres (48.6 in) of snowfall
per annum.[44] Precipitation is heaviest in the late spring, summer, and early
autumn. The wettest month is July, while the driest months are February, March,
October, and November.[44] In July, the mean precipitation is 91.7 mm (3.61 in).
[44] Dry spells are not uncommon and may occur at any time of the year. Extremes
do occur, such as the 114 mm (4.49 in) of rainfall that fell on July 31, 1953.[
44] Summer thunderstorms can be frequent and occasionally severe enough to produ
ce large hail, damaging winds, funnel clouds, and even tornadoes. The F4 tornado
that struck Edmonton on July 31, 1987, killing 27, was unusual in many respects
, including severity, duration, damage, and casualties.[citation needed] It is c
ommonly referred to as Black Friday due both to its aberrant characteristics and
the emotional shock it generated.[58] Then-mayor Laurence Decore cited the comm
unity's response to the tornado as evidence that Edmonton was a "city of champio
ns," which later became an unofficial slogan of the city.[1][59]
A massive cluster of thunderstorms occurred on July 11, 2004, with large hail an
d over 100 mm (4 in) of rain reported within the space of an hour in many places
.[60] This "1-in-200 year event" flooded major intersections and underpasses and
damaged both residential and commercial properties. The storm caused extensive
damage to West Edmonton Mall; a small glass section of the roof collapsed under
the weight of the rainwater, causing water to drain onto the mall's indoor ice r
ink. As a result, the mall was forced to undergo an evacuation as a precautionar
y measure.[61]

Parkland and environment[edit]
See also: North Saskatchewan River valley parks system
Hawrelak Park in the North Saskatchewan River Valley taken from a stream-bed.
Streambed in Hawrelak Park
Edmonton's river valley constitutes the longest stretch of connected urban parkl
and in North America, and Edmonton has the highest amount of parkland per capita
of any Canadian city; the river valley is 22 times larger than New York City's
Central Park.[63] The river valley is home to various parks ranging from fully s
erviced urban parks to campsite-like facilities with few amenities. This main "R
ibbon of Green" is supplemented by numerous neighbourhood parks located througho
ut the city, to give a total of 111 km2 (27,400 acres) of parkland.[63] Within t
he 7,400 ha (18,000 acres), 25 km (16 mi)-long river valley park system, there a
re 11 lakes, 14 ravines, and 22 major parks, and most of the city has accessible
bike and walking trail connections.[64] These trails are also part of the 235 k
m (146 mi) Waskahegan walking trail. The City of Edmonton has named five parks i
n its River Valley Parks System in honour of each of "The Famous Five".[65]
Edmonton's streets and parklands also contain one of the largest remaining conce
ntrations of healthy American elm trees in the world, unaffected by Dutch elm di
sease, which has wiped out vast numbers of such trees in eastern North America.
Jack pine, lodgepole pine, white spruce, white birch, aspen, mountain ash, Amur
maple, Russian olive, green ash, basswood, various poplars and willows, flowerin
g crabapple, Mayday tree and Manitoba maple are also abundant; bur oak, silver m
aple, hawthorn and Ohio buckeye are increasingly popular. Other introduced tree
species include white ash, blue spruce, Norway maple, red oak, sugar maple, comm
bu
on horse-chestnut, McIntosh apple, and Evans cherry.[66] Three walnut species
tternut, Manchurian walnut, and black walnut have survived in Edmonton.[67]
Several golf courses, both public and private, are also located in the river val
ley; the long summer daylight hours of this northern city provide for extended p
lay from early morning well into the evening.[68] Golf courses and the park syst
em become a winter recreation area during this season, and cross-country skiing
and skating are popular during the long winter. Four downhill ski slopes are loc
ated in the river valley as well, two within the city and two immediately outsid
e.[69]
A variety of volunteer opportunities exist for citizens to participate in the st
ewardship of Edmonton's parkland and river valley. Volunteer programs include Ri
ver Valley Clean-up, Root for Trees, and Partner in Parks.[70] River Valley Clea
n-up engages volunteers to pick up hundreds of bags of litter each year.
Neighbourhoods[edit]

Edmonton is divided into 375 neighbourhoods[71] within 7 geographic sectors
a ma
ture area sector, which includes neighbourhoods that were essentially built out
prior to 1970,[72] and 6 surrounding suburban sectors.[73]
Edmonton's Downtown is located within the city's mature area or inner city.[73]
It and the surrounding Boyle Street, Central McDougall, Cloverdale, Garneau, McC
auley, Oliver, Queen Mary Park, Riverdale, Rossdale, Strathcona and University o
f Alberta form Edmonton's Central Core.[72] Oliver and Garneau are the city's mo
st populated and most densely populated neighbourhoods respectively. The mature
area sector also contains the five former urban municipalities annexed by the ci
ty over its history Beverly, Jasper Place, North Edmonton, Strathcona and West E

dmonton (Calder).[15][73]
Larger residential areas within Edmonton's six suburban sectors,[73] each compri
sing multiple neighbourhoods,[74] include: Heritage Valley, Kaskitayo, Riverbend
, Terwillegar Heights and Windermere (southwest sector); The Grange, Lewis Farms
and West Jasper Place (west sector); Big Lake (northwest sector); Castle Downs,
Lake District and The Palisades (north sector); Casselman-Steele Heights, Clare

Mill Woods and Southeast Edmonton (southeast sector).[75] Mill Woods is divided
into a town centre community (Mill Woods Town Centre)[76] and eight surrounding
communities[77]
Burnewood, Knottwood, Lakewood, Millbourne, Millhurst, Ridgewood
, Southwood, and Woodvale[78][79]
each having between two to four neighbourhoods
.[74]
Several transit-oriented developments (TOD) have begun to appear along the LRT l
ine at Clareview, with future developments planned at Belvedere (part of the Old
Town Fort Road Redevelopment Project).[80] Another TOD, called Century Park,[81
] is being constructed at the site of what was once Heritage Mall, at the southe
rn end of the LRT line. Century Park will eventually house up to 5,000 residents
.[82]
The Edmonton City Centre Airport is planned to be redeveloped into a sustainable
community of 30,000 people comprising a transit-oriented mixed use town centre,
townhouses, low, medium and high rise apartments, neighbourhood retail and serv
ice uses, and a major park.[83]
Edmonton has four major industrial districts the Northwest Industrial District,
the Northeast Industrial District, the Southeast Industrial District and the eme
rging Edmonton Energy and Technology Park,[84] which is part of Alberta's Indust
rial Heartland.[85] The northwest, northeast and southeast districts each have s
maller industrial areas and neighbourhoods within them.[74][84]

Metropolitan area[edit]
Main article: Edmonton Capital Region
Edmonton is at the centre of Canada's sixth largest census metropolitan area (CM
A),[5] which includes Edmonton and 34 other municipalities in the surrounding ar
ea.[87] Larger urban communities include Sherwood Park (an urban service area wi
thin Strathcona County), the cities of St. Albert, Leduc, Spruce Grove and Fort
Saskatchewan, and the towns of Stony Plain, Beaumont, Morinville, and Devon.[88]
Major employment areas outside of Edmonton but within the CMA include the Nisku
Industrial Business Park and the Edmonton International Airport (including a pl
anned inland port logistics support facility in support of the Port Alberta init
iative)[89] in Leduc County, the Acheson Industrial Area in Parkland County, Ref
inery Row in Strathcona County and Alberta's Industrial Heartland[90] within por
tions of Fort Saskatchewan, Strathcona County and Sturgeon County.[91] Alberta's
Industrial Heartland also extends beyond the CMA's northeastern boundary[16] in
to a portion of Lamont County.[91]
The individual economic development interests and costs of service delivery in c
ertain municipalities within the region has led to intermunicipal competition, s
trained intermunicipal relationships and overall fragmentation of the region. Al
though several attempts have been made by the City of Edmonton to absorb surroun
ding municipalities[92] or annex portions of its neighbours,[93] the city has no

t absorbed another municipality since the Town of Jasper Place joined Edmonton o
n August 17, 1964[94] and the city has not annexed land from any of its neighbou
rs since January 1, 1982.[95] After years of mounting pressure in the early 21st
century, the Province of Alberta formed the Capital Region Board (CRB) on April
15, 2008.[96] The CRB consists of 24 member municipalities
22 of which are with
in the Edmonton CMA and two of which are outside the CMA. The City of Edmonton s
ubsequently announced in March 2013 its intent to annex 156 square kilometers of
land (including the Edmonton International Airport) from Leduc County.[97]

Edmonton is the major economic centre for northern and central Alberta and a maj
or centre for the oil and gas industry. As of 2014, the estimated value of major
projects within the Edmonton Capital Region was $57.8-billion, of which $34.4-b

Edmonton traditionally has been a hub for Albertan petrochemical industries, ear
ning it the nickname "Oil Capital of Canada" in the 1940s.[139] Supply and servi
ce industries drive the energy extraction engine, while research develops new te
chnologies and supports expanded value-added processing of Alberta's massive oil
, gas, and oil sands reserves. These are reported to be the second-largest in th
e world, after Saudi Arabia.[140]

The National Institute for Nanotechnology
Much of the growth in technology sectors is due to Edmonton's reputation as one
of Canada s premier research and education centres. Research initiatives are ancho
red by educational institutions such as the University of Alberta (U of A) as we
ll as government initiatives underway at the Alberta Research Council and Edmont
on Research Park. The U of A campus is home to the National Institute for Nanote
chnology.[141]
During the 1970s and 1980s, Edmonton became a major financial centre, with both
regional offices of Canada's major banks and locally based institutions opening.
[142] However, the turmoil of the late-1980s economy radically changed the situa
tion. Locally based operations such as Principal Trust and Canadian Commercial B
ank[143] would fail, and some regional offices were moved to other cities. The 1
990s saw a solidification of the economy, and Edmonton is now home to Canadian W
estern Bank, the only publicly traded Schedule I chartered bank headquarters wes
t of Toronto.[144] Other major financial centres include ATB Financial, Servus C
redit Union (formerly Capital City Savings), TD Canada Trust and Manulife Financ
ial.[145]
Edmonton has been the birthplace of several companies that have grown to interna
tional stature.[146] The local retail market has also seen the creation of many
successful store concepts, such as The Brick, Katz Group, AutoCanada, Boston Piz
za, Pizza 73, Liquor Stores GP (which includes Liquor Depot, Liquor Barn, OK Liq
uor, and Grapes & Grains), Planet Organic, Shaw Communications, Empire Design, R
unning Room, Booster Juice, Earl's, Fountain Tire and XS Cargo.[147]
Edmonton's geographical location has made it an ideal spot for distribution and
logistics. CN Rail's North American operational facility is located in the city,
as well as a major intermodal facility that handles all incoming freight from t
he port of Prince Rupert in British Columbia.[148]
Retail[edit]
West Edmonton Mall.
Edmonton is home to several shopping malls, including Canada's first mall, Westm
ount Centre; and the largest mall in North America, West Edmonton Mall, which is
also considered to be the 10th largest mall in the world.[149][150] Other menti
onable malls include Bonnie Doon Shopping Centre, Edmonton City Centre (a combin
ation of the former Edmonton Centre and Eaton Centre malls), Southgate Centre, K
ingsway Mall, Northgate Centre, Abbotsfield Mall, Londonderry Mall, and Mill Woo
ds Town Centre.[151]
Edmonton also has many big box shopping centres and power centres. Some of the m
ajor ones include South Edmonton Common (North America's largest open air retail
development),[152] Skyview Power Centre, Terra Losa Centre, Oliver Square, Sout
hpark Centre, The Meadows, Christy's Corner, and Westpoint. In 2008, constructio
n started on the Windermere power centre.[153]
In contrast to suburban centres, Edmonton has many urban retail locations. The l
argest of them all, Old Strathcona, includes many independent stores between 99
Street and 109 Street on Whyte Avenue and area.[154] In around the downtown of E
dmonton, there are a small handful of shopping districts, such as previously men
tioned Edmonton City Centre mall, Jasper Avenue and 104 Street. Near Oliver, 124
Street is home to a significant number of retail stores. Edmonton is the Canadi
an testing-ground for many American retailers, such as Bath & Body Works and Cal
vin Klein.[155]

The Francis Winspear Centre for Music[156] was opened in 1997 after years of pla
nning and fundraising.[157] Described as one of the most acoustically perfect co
ncert halls in Canada, it is home to the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra and hosts a
wide variety of shows every year. It seats 1,932 patrons and houses the $3-mill
ion Davis Concert Organ, the largest concert organ in Canada.[158] Across 102 Av
enue is the Citadel Theatre, named after The Salvation Army Citadel in which Joe
Shoctor first started the Citadel Theatre Company in 1965. It is now one of the
largest theatre complexes in Canada, with five halls, each specializing in diff
erent kinds of productions.[159] On the University of Alberta grounds is the 2,5
34-seat Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium, which were undertaken over a year o
f heavy renovations carried out as part of the province's 2005 centennial celebr
ations. Both it and its southern twin in Calgary were constructed in 1955 for th
e province's golden jubilee and have hosted many concerts, musicals, and ballets
. The Edmonton Opera uses the Jubilee as its base of operations. On the front of
the building is a quote from Suetonius' Life of Augustus: "He found a city buil
left it built of marble."

rush theme, becoming Klondike Days in the 1960s.[164] Northlands, the operators,
renamed the festival to "Edmonton's Capital Ex" or "Capital Ex" in 2006.[164] I
n 2012, Edmonton Northlands conducted a poll to rename the festival that resulte
d in changing the name to "K-Days".[164] Activities include carnival rides and f
airways, music, trade shows, and daily fireworks.[165]
Since 1960, the Sourdough Raft Races have also been a popular event.[166] Later
in November, Edmonton plays host to the Canadian Finals Rodeo and Farmfair; this

There are many museums in Edmonton of various sizes.[173] The largest is the Roy
al Alberta Museum (RAM), which was formerly known as the Provincial Museum of Al
berta until it was renamed in honour of Queen Elizabeth II's 2005 Alberta centen
nial visit. The RAM houses over 10 million objects in its collection and showcas
es the culture and practices of the diverse aboriginal tribes of the region. The
main building, overlooking the river valley west of the city centre in the Glen
ora neighbourhood, was opened in 1967 and is now in the early stages of large-sc
ale redevelopment.[174]
The Telus World of Science is located in the Woodcroft neighbourhood northwest o
f the city centre. It opened in 1984 and has since been expanded several times.
It contains five permanent galleries, one additional gallery for temporary exhib
its, an IMAX theatre, a planetarium, an observatory, and an amateur radio statio
n. The Edmonton Valley Zoo is in the river valley to the southwest of the city c
entre.[175]
The Alberta Aviation Museum, located in a hangar at the City Centre Airport, was
built for the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. Its collection includes b

orical Centre is a telephone museum also located in the Prince of Wales Armourie
s Heritage Centre in central Edmonton. In addition to a collection of artifacts
tracing the history of the telephone, the museum has its own theatre featuring a
brief film led by the robot Xeldon.[176]
The Alberta Railway Museum[177] is located in the rural northeast portion of the
city. It contains a variety of locomotives and railroad cars from different per
iods, and includes a working steam locomotive. Since most of its exhibits are ou
tdoors, it is only open between Victoria Day and Labour Day.
Fort Edmonton Park, Canada's largest living history museum, is located in the ri

ver valley southwest of the city centre. Edmonton's heritage is displayed throug
h historical buildings (many of which are originals moved to the park), costumed
historical interpreters, and authentic artifacts. In total, it covers the regio
n's history from approximately 1795 to 1929 (represented by Fort Edmonton), foll
owed chronologically by 1885, 1905, and 1920 streets, and a recreation of a 1920
s midway. A steam train, streetcars, automobiles and horse-drawn vehicles may be
seen in operation (and utilized by the public) around the park. The John Walter
Museum and Historical Area (c. 1875 to 1901) is on the Canadian Register of His
toric Places.[178] The University of Alberta operates its own internal Museums a
nd Collections service.[179]
The Art Gallery of Alberta (AGA) is the city's largest single gallery. Formerly
housed in an inconspicuous 1970s building downtown, the AGA collection had over
5,000 pieces of art. The former AGA building was demolished in July 2007 to make
way for construction of a new facility designed by Randall Stout. It was estima
ted to cost over $88-million and the amount that Edmonton City Council donated t
owards its construction was met with some controversy. The AGA officially opened
on January 31, 2010.[180] Independent galleries can be found throughout the cit
y, especially along the 124 Street/Jasper Avenue corridor, known as the "gallery
walk".[181]
Music[edit]
Further information: List of musicians from Edmonton
In the city's early days, music was performed in churches and community halls. E
dmonton has a history of opera and classical music performance; both genres hist
orically have been supported by a variety of clubs and associations. Edmonton's
first major radio station, CKUA, began broadcasting music in 1927.[182] The city
is a centre for music instruction; the University of Alberta began its music de
partment in 1945, and MacEwan University opened a jazz and musical theatre progr
am in 1980. Festivals of jazz, folk, and classical music are popular entertainme
nt events in the city.[183]
The Edmonton Symphony Orchestra has existed under various incarnations since 191
3. In 1952, the Edmonton Philharmonic and the Edmonton Pops orchestras amalgamat
ed to form the 60-member modern version. The Orchestra performs at the Francis W
inspear Centre for Music.[184]
The city also has a vibrant popular music scene, across genres including hip-hop
, reggae, R&B, rock, pop, metal, punk, country and electronica. Notable past and
present local musicians include Robert Goulet,[185] Tommy Banks, Tim Feehan, Ca
dence Weapon, Kreesha Turner, The Smalls, SNFU, Social Code, Stereos, Ten Second
Epic, Tupelo Honey, Mac DeMarco, Shout Out Out Out Out, Purity Ring, The Wet Se

Nightlife[edit]
There are several key areas of nightlife in the city of Edmonton. The most popul

et; it has the highest number of heritage buildings in Edmonton,[187] and the ni
ghtlife (bars, clubs, and restaurants) are located throughout, but mostly west o
f Gateway Boulevard (103 Street). Once the heart of the town of Strathcona (anne
xed by Edmonton on February 1, 1912), it fell into disrepair during the middle o
f the 20th century.[188] Beginning in the 1970s, a coordinated effort to revive
the area through the establishment of a business revitalization zone has produce
d an area rich with restored historical buildings and pleasant streetscapes.[86]
Its proximity to the University of Alberta has led to a high number of establis
hments ranging from restaurants and pubs to trendy clubs while hosting a wide va
riety of retail and specialty shops during the day. This area also contains two
independent movie theatres: the Garneau and Princess theatres, as well as severa
l live theatre, music, and comedy venues.[189]

Downtown Edmonton has undergone a continual process of renewal and growth since
the mid-1990s. Many buildings were demolished during the oil boom, starting in t
he 1960s and continuing into the 1980s, to make way for office towers. As such,
there have always been numerous pub-type establishments, as well as many hotel l
ounges and restaurants. The past decade has seen a strong resurgence in more mai
nstream venues. Edmonton also has a high demand for pub crawl tours in the city.
Various clubs are also to be found along Edmonton's main street, Jasper Avenue.
The Edmonton City Centre mall also houses an Empire Theatres movie theatre, fea
turing nine screens. The nonprofit Metro Cinema[190] shows a variety of alternat
ive or otherwise unreleased films every week.
West Edmonton Mall holds several after-hour establishments in addition to its ma
ny stores and attractions. Bourbon Street has numerous eating establishments; cl

Government[edit]
Matthew McCauley, first mayor of Edmonton
In 1892 Edmonton was incorporated as a town. The first mayor was Matthew McCaule
y, who established the first school board in Edmonton and Board of Trade (later
Chamber of Commerce) and a municipal police service.[198] Due to mayor McCauley'
s good relationship with the federal Liberals this helped Edmonton to maintain p
olitical prominence over Strathcona, a rival settlement on the south bank of the
North Saskatchewan River.[198] Edmonton was incorporated as a city in 1904 and
became the capital of Alberta in 1905.
Unions and radical organizations such as the Industrial Workers of the World str
uggled for progressive social change through the early years, with the first ref
ormer, James East, being elected in 1912, followed by the first official Labour
alderman, James Kinney, the following year. Many thousands of workers participat
ed in the Edmonton general strike of 1919 and a strong block of Labour represent
atives were on council after the next election: James Kinney, James East, Sam Mc
Coppen, Joe Clarke and Rice Sheppard.
Labour representation on city council would become a near-majority in 1929, and,
during the Great Depression, a full majority from 1932 to 1934.[199] Jan Reimer
became the city's first female mayor, when she was elected in 1989.[200]

Municipal politics[edit]
Edmonton is represented by a mayor and 12 councillors one for each of the 12 wards
. On July 22, 2009 City Council adopted an electoral system that divides Edmonto
n into 12 wards, instead of the previous two for each of six wards. This system
came into effect with the following election in October 2010.[201] The most rece
nt election was held in October 2013, and elected members to a four-year term.
Provincial politics[edit]

ght.
Provincial Legislature of Alberta
Edmonton is the capital of the province of Alberta and holds all main provincial
areas of government such as the Provincial Legislature of Alberta. The Edmonton
region is represented by 20 MLAs, one for each provincial electoral district. M
any of these boundaries have been changed, adjusted and renamed while the city h
as grown.[202] In the current 29th Alberta Legislature all of Edmonton's distric
ts are represented by members from the governing Alberta New Democratic Party.[2
03] Six of these members are cabinet ministers while one of them is also the Pre
mier of Alberta, Rachel Notley.[204]
Crime[edit]
The city's police force, the Edmonton Police Service, was founded in 1892, and h
ad approximately 1,400 officers in 2012.[205] Edmonton experienced a decrease in
crime in the 1990s, an increase in the early 2000s,[206] and another downturn a
t the end of the decade.
The Edmonton census metropolitan area (CMA) had a crime severity index of 84.5 i
n 2013, which is higher the national average of 68.7.[207] Its crime severity in
dex was the fifth-highest among CMAs in Canada behind Regina, Saskatoon, Kelowna
and Vancouver.[207] Edmonton had the fourth-most homicides in 2013 at 27.[207]
Military[edit]
Edmonton is home to 1 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group (1 CMBG), the Regular Fo
rce army brigade group of Land Force Western Area of the Canadian Army. Units in
1 CMBG include Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians), 1 Combat Engineer Reg
iment, two of the three regular force battalions of Princess Patricia's Canadian
Light Infantry, and various headquarters, service, and support elements. Althou
gh not part of 1 CMBG, 408 Tactical Helicopter Squadron and 1 Field Ambulance ar
e located with the brigade group. All of these units are located at Lancaster Pa
rk, immediately north of the city. From 1943, as CFB Namao (now CFB Edmonton/Edm
onton Garrison), it was a major air force base.[208] In 1996, all fixed-wing avi
ation units were transferred to CFB Cold Lake.
The Canadian Airborne Training Centre had been located in the city in the 1980s.
The move of 1 CMBG and component units from Calgary occurred in 1996 in what wa
s described as a cost-saving measure.[209] The brigade had existed in Calgary si
nce the 1950s, and Lord Strathcona's Horse had traditionally been a Calgary garr
ison unit dating back to before World War I.
Edmonton also has a large army reserve element from 41 Canadian Brigade Group (4
1 CBG), including The Loyal Edmonton Regiment (4th Battalion, Princess Patricia'
s Canadian Light Infantry); 41 Combat Engineer Regiment; HQ Battery, 20th Field
Artillery Regiment; and B Squadron of The South Alberta Light Horse, one of Albe
rta's oldest army reserve units. Despite being far from Canada's coasts, Edmonto
n is also the home of HMCS Nonsuch,[210] a naval reserve division. There are num
erous cadet corps[211] of the different elements (naval, army and air force) wit
hin Edmonton as well.

Infrastructure[edit]
Transportation[edit]
Main article: Transportation in Edmonton
Aviation[edit]
Edmonton International Airport's South Terminal.
See also: List of airports in the Edmonton Capital Region
Edmonton is a major air transportation gateway to northern Alberta and northern
Canada.[26] The Edmonton International Airport (EIA) is the main airport serving
the city.
The EIA provides passenger service to destinations in the United States, Europe,
Mexico, and the Caribbean. The EIA is located within Leduc County, adjacent to
the City of Leduc and the Nisku Industrial Business Park. With direct air distan
ces from Edmonton to places such as London in Europe being shorter than to other
main airports in western North America,[212] Edmonton Airports is working to es
tablish a major container shipping hub called Port Alberta.[213]
Rail[edit]
Edmonton serves as a major transportation hub for Canadian National Railway, who
se North American operations management centre is located at their Edmonton offi
ces. It is also tied into the Canadian Pacific Railway network, which provides s
ervice from Calgary to the south and extends northeast of Edmonton to serve Albe
rta's Industrial Heartland.
Inter-city rail passenger rail service is provided by Via Rail's premier train,
the Canadian, as it travels between Vancouver, British Columbia, and Toronto, On
tario. Passenger trains stop at the Edmonton railway station three days a week i
n both directions. The train connects Edmonton to multiple stops in British Colu
mbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario.[214]
Public transit[edit]
Bay/Enterprise Square LRT station
The Edmonton Transit System (ETS) is the city's public transit agency, operating
the Edmonton Light Rail Transit (LRT) line as well as a fleet of buses.[215] Ap
proximately one-third of people in the Edmonton Capital Region (mostly from Edmo
nton proper) use ETS per day (354,440[216][217] out of 1,034,945[218]). There ar
e approximately 280,000 ETS bus riders on average per day.[216]
From the 1990s to early 2009, Edmonton was one of two cities in Canada still ope
rating trolley buses, along with Vancouver. On June 18, 2008, City Council decid
ed to abandon the Edmonton trolley bus system[219] and the last trolley bus ran
on May 2, 2009.[220][221]
Scheduled LRT service began on April 23, 1978, with five extensions of the singl
e line completed since.[222] The original Edmonton line is considered to be the
first "modern" light rail line in North America (i.e., built from scratch, rathe
r than being an upgrade of an old system). It introduced the use of German-desig
ned rolling stock that subsequently became the standard light rail vehicle of th
e United States.[222] The Edmonton "proof-of-payment" fare collection system ado
pted in 1980
modelled after European ticket systems
became the North American tr
ansit industry's preferred approach for subsequent light rail projects.[223] The
four-year South LRT extension was opened in full on April 24, 2010, which sees
trains travelling to Century Park[224] (located at 23 Avenue and 111 Street), ma
king stops at South Campus and Southgate Centre along the way.[224] A line to th
e Northern Alberta Institute of Technology in north-central Edmonton using the s
ame high floor technology of the existing system opened September 6, 2015. Edmon
ton is also expanding the LRT to Mill Woods (the southeast) by 2020 and to Lewis

Farms (the west) thereafter using low floor technology.


Roads[edit]
Stony Plain Road looking towards downtown
A largely gridded system forms most of Edmonton's street and road network.[225]
The address system is mostly numbered, with streets running south to north and a
venues running east to west. In built-up areas built since the 1950s, local stre
ets and major roadways generally do not conform to the grid system. Major roadwa
ys include Kingsway, Yellowhead Trail (Highway 16), Whitemud Drive and Anthony H
enday Drive, and the city is connected to other communities elsewhere in Alberta
, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan via the Yellowhead Highway to the west and
east and the Queen Elizabeth II Highway (Alberta Highway 2) to the south.[226][2
27]
Trail system[edit]
There is an extensive multi-use trail system for bicycles and pedestrians throug
hout the city; however, most of this is within the river valley parkland system.
[228]
Electricity and water[edit]
EPCOR's former Rossdale Power Plant.
Edmonton's first power company established itself in 1891 and installed streetli
ghts along the city's main avenue, Jasper Avenue. The power company was bought b
y the Town of Edmonton in 1902 and remains under municipal ownership today as EP
COR. Also in charge of water treatment, in 2002 EPCOR installed the world's larg
est ultraviolet (UV) water treatment or ultraviolet disinfection system at its E
.L. Smith Water Treatment Plant.[229]
Waste disposal[edit]
The Edmonton Composting Facility, the largest of its type in the world, is also
the largest stainless steel building in North America.[230] By 2016, the city an
ticipates that it will divert more than 90 percent of the city's household waste
from the landfills.[230][231] Among the innovative uses for the city's waste in
cludes a Christmas tree recycling program. The trees are collected each January
and put through a woodchipper; this material is used as an addition to the compo
sting process. In addition, the wood chips absorb much of the odour produced by
the compost by providing a biofilter element to trap odour causing gaseous resul
ts of the process.[232]
Together, the Waste Management Centre and Wastewater Treatment plant are known a
s the Edmonton Waste Management Centre of Excellence. Research partners include
the University of Alberta, the Alberta Research Council, the Northern Alberta In
stitute of Technology, and Olds College.[233]
Health care[edit]
University Hospital Complex at the University of Alberta.
There are four main hospitals serving Edmonton: University of Alberta Hospital,
Royal Alexandra Hospital, Misericordia Community Hospital, and Grey Nuns Communi
ty Hospital.[234] Other area hospitals include Sturgeon Community Hospital in St
. Albert, Leduc Community Hospital in Leduc, Westview Health Centre in Stony Pla
in, and Fort Saskatchewan Community Hospital in Fort Saskatchewan. Dedicated psy
chiatric care is provided at the Alberta Hospital. The Northeast Community Healt
h Centre offers a 24-hour emergency room with no inpatient ward services. The Un
iversity of Alberta Hospital is the centre of a larger complex of hospitals and
clinics located adjacent to the university campus which comprises the Stollery C
hildren's Hospital, Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute, Cross Cancer Institute,
Zeidler Gastrointestinal Health Centre, Ledcor Clinical Training Centre, and Ed

monton Clinic. Several health research institutes, including the Heritage Medica
l Research Centre, Medical Sciences Building, Katz Group Centre for Pharmacy and
Health Research, and Li Ka Shing Centre for Health Research Innovation, are als
o located at this site. A similar set-up is also evident at the Royal Alexandra
Hospital, which is connected to the Lois Hole Hospital for Women and Orthopaedic
Surgery Centre. All hospitals are under the administration of Alberta Health Se
rvices, although Misericordia and Grey Nuns are run separately by Covenant Healt
h.[235]
Education[edit]
Entryway to MacEwan University's downtown campus.
Secondary[edit]
Edmonton has three publicly funded school boards (districts) that provide kinder
garten and grades 1 12. The vast majority of students attend schools in the two la
rge English language boards: Edmonton Public Schools, and the separate Edmonton
Catholic School District.[236] Also, since 1994, the Francophone minority commun
ity has had their own school board based in Edmonton, the Greater North Central
Francophone Education Region No. 2, which includes surrounding communities. The
city also has a number of public charter schools that are independent of any boa
rd. All three school boards and public charter schools are funded through provin
cial grants and property taxes.
Some private schools exist as well, including Edmonton Academy,[237] Progressive
Academy[238] and Tempo School.[239] The Edmonton Society for Christian Educatio
n[240] and Millwoods Christian School (not part of the former) used to be privat
e schools; however, both have become part of Edmonton Public Schools as alternat
ive programs.[241][242]
Both the Edmonton Public Schools and the Edmonton Catholic School District provi
de support and resources for those wishing to homeschool their children.[243]
Post-secondary[edit]
Those post-secondary institutions based in Edmonton that are publicly funded inc
lude Concordia University College of Alberta, MacEwan University, The King's Uni
versity College, NorQuest College, the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology
(NAIT) and the University of Alberta (U of A).[244] The publicly funded Athabasc
a University and the University of Lethbridge[244] also have campuses in Edmonto
n.[245][246]
The U of A is a board-governed institution[247] that has an annual revenue of ov
er one billion dollars.[248] In 2011/12, the university had over 38,000 students
enrolled within nearly 400 undergraduate, graduate and professional programs, a
s well as over 15,000 students enrolled in its faculty of extension.[249] The U
of A is also home to the second-largest research library system in Canada.[250]
In 2010/11, MacEwan University had a total student population of over 43,000 stu
dents, including nearly 14,000 full-time students, enrolled in programs offering
bachelor's degrees, university transfers, diplomas and certificates.[251] NAIT
has an approximate total of 61,200 students enrolled in more than 200 programs[2
52] while NorQuest College has approximately 8,500 students enrolled in various
full-time, part-time and continuing education programs.[253]
Other post-secondary institutions within Edmonton include Taylor University Coll
ege and Seminary[254] and Yellowhead Tribal College, a First Nations college.[25
5]
Media[edit]
Main article: Media in Edmonton
Edmonton has seven local broadcast television stations shown on basic cable TV o

r over-the-air, with the oldest broadcasters in the city being CTV (1961) and CB
C (1954).[256] Most of Edmonton's conventional television stations have made the
switch to over-the-air digital broadcasting. The cable television providers in
Edmonton are Telus (for IPTV) and Shaw Cable. Twenty-one FM and eight AM radio s
tations are based in Edmonton.[257]
Edmonton has two large-circulation daily newspapers, the Edmonton Journal and th
e Edmonton Sun. The Journal, established in 1903 and owned by the Postmedia Netw
ork, has a daily circulation of 112,000, while the Sun, established in 1978 and
owned by Sun Media, has a circulation of 55,000.[258] The Journal no longer publ
ishes a Sunday edition as of July 2012.[259]
There is one free daily newspaper in the city, Metro.[260] The magazine Vue Week
ly is published on a weekly basis and focuses on alternative news.[261] The Edmo
nton Examiner is a city-wide community based paper also published weekly.[262] T
here are also a number of smaller weekly and community newspapers.

Edmonton Listeni/'?dm?nt?n/ is the capital of Alberta, Canada. Edmonton is on th
e North Saskatchewan River and is the centre of the Edmonton Capital Region, whi
ch is surrounded by Alberta's central region.
The city had a population of 877,926 in the 2014 census,[11] is Alberta's second
-largest city and Canada's fifth-largest municipality. This population represent
s 66 percent of the total 2014 population of 1,328,300[12] within the Edmonton c
ensus metropolitan area (CMA), Canada's fifth-largest CMA by population. Edmonto
n is the most northern North American city with a metropolitan population over o
ne million. A resident of Edmonton is known as an Edmontonian.[13]
Edmonton's historic growth has been facilitated through the absorption of five a
djacent urban municipalities (Strathcona, North Edmonton, West Edmonton, Beverly
and Jasper Place)[14] and a series of annexations ending in 1982.[15] Edmonton
serves as the northern anchor of the Calgary Edmonton Corridor.[16] Known as the "
Gateway to the North",[17] the city is a staging point for large-scale oil sands
projects occurring in northern Alberta and large-scale diamond mining operation
s in the Northwest Territories.[18]
Edmonton is a cultural, governmental and educational centre. It hosts a year-rou
nd slate of festivals, reflected in the nickname "Canada's Festival City".[1] It
is home to North America's largest mall, West Edmonton Mall (the world's larges

History[edit]
Further information: History of Edmonton and Timeline of Edmonton history
The earliest known inhabitants settled in the area that is now Edmonton around 3
,000 BC and perhaps as early as 12,000 BC, when an ice-free corridor opened up a
s the last glacial period ended and timber, water, and wildlife became available
in the region.[21]
In 1754, Anthony Henday, an explorer working for the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC),
may have been the first European to enter the Edmonton area.[22] His expedition
s across the Canadian Prairies were mainly to seek contact with the aboriginal p
opulation for the purpose of establishing the fur trade, as competition was fier
ce between the Hudson's Bay Company and the North West Company. By 1795, Fort Ed
monton was established on the north bank of the river, as a major trading post f
or the Hudson's Bay Company.[23] The name of the new fort was suggested by John
Peter Pruden after Edmonton, London, the home town of both the HBC deputy govern
or Sir James Winter Lake, and Pruden.
The coming of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) to southern Alberta in 1885 hel
ped the Edmonton economy, and the 1891 building of the Calgary and Edmonton (C&E
) Railway resulted in the emergence of a railway townsite (South Edmonton/Strath
cona) on the south side of the river, across from Edmonton. The arrival of the C
PR and the C&E Railway facilitated the arrival of settlers and entrepreneurs fro
m eastern Canada, Britain and continental Europe, U.S. and other parts of the wo
rld. The fertile soil and cheap land in the Edmonton area helped attract settler
s, further establishing Edmonton as a major regional commercial and agricultural
centre. Some people participating in the Klondike Gold Rush passed through Sout
h Edmonton/Strathcona in 1897. Strathcona was the northernmost railway point in
North America, but travel to the Klondike was still very difficult for the "Klon
dikers", and a majority of them took a steamship north to the Yukon from Vancouv
er.[24]
Jasper Avenue in Edmonton, ca.1907
Incorporated as a town in 1892 with a population of 700 and then as a city in 19
04 with a population of 8,350,[25] Edmonton became the capital of Alberta when t
he province was formed a year later, on September 1, 1905.[26] In November 1905,
the Canadian Northern Railway (CNR) arrived in Edmonton, accelerating growth.[2
7]
During the early 1900s, Edmonton grew very rapidly, causing speculation in real
estate. In 1912, Edmonton amalgamated with the City of Strathcona, south of the
North Saskatchewan River; as a result, the city extended south of the North Sask
atchewan River for the first time.[28]
Just prior to World War I, the boom ended, and the city's population declined sh
arply from more than 72,000 in 1914 to less than 54,000 only two years later.[29
] Many impoverished families moved to subsistence farms outside the city and oth
ers fled to greener pastures in other provinces.[30] Recruitment to the Canadian
army during the war also contributed to the drop in population.[31] Afterwards,
the city slowly recovered in population and economy during the 1920s and 1930s
and took off again during and after World War II.

The Edmonton City Centre Airport opened in 1929,[32] becoming the first licensed
airfield in Canada.[33] Originally named Blatchford Field in honour of former m
ayor Kenny Blatchford, pioneering aviators such as Wilfrid R. "Wop" May and Max
Ward used Blatchford Field as a major base for the distribution of mail, food, a
nd medicine to Northern Canada; hence Edmonton's emergence as the "Gateway to th
e North". World War II saw Edmonton becoming a major base for the construction o
f the Alaska Highway and the Northwest Staging Route.[34]
Geography[edit]
Edmonton is located on the North Saskatchewan River, and sits at an elevation of
671 metres (2,201 ft).[26] Edmonton is the most northerly city in North America
with a metropolitan population of over one million. It is at the same latitude
as Hamburg (Germany), Dublin (Ireland), Manchester (United Kingdom), and Magnito
gorsk (Russia). North as it is, it is south of the geographic centre of Alberta,
which is located near the Hamlet of Fort Assiniboine.[35] The terrain in and ar
ound Edmonton is generally flat to gently rolling, with ravines and deep river v
alleys, such as the North Saskatchewan River valley.[36] The Canadian Rockies ar
e located about 220 km (140 mi) to the southwest.
The North Saskatchewan River originates at the Columbia Icefield in Jasper Natio
nal Park and bisects the city. Before the construction of two reservoirs near th
e mountains, it would sometimes flood Edmonton's river valley, most notably in t
he North Saskatchewan River flood of 1915. It empties via the Saskatchewan River
, Lake Winnipeg, and the Nelson River into Hudson Bay.[37] It runs from the sout
hwest to the northeast and is fed by numerous creeks throughout the city, such a
s Mill Creek, Whitemud Creek and Blackmud Creek; this creates numerous ravines,
some of which are used for urban parkland.[38] Edmonton is situated at the bound
ary between prairie to the south and boreal forest to the north, in a transition
al area known as aspen parkland. However, the aspen woods and forests in and aro
und Edmonton have long since been reduced by farming and other human activities,
such as oil and natural gas exploration.[39]
Climate[edit]
Edmonton has a humid continental climate (Kppen climate classification Dfb)[40] w
ith relatively low precipitation, and falls into the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 4
a.[41]
The city has milder winters than either Regina[42] or Winnipeg,[43] both further
south of Edmonton in latitude. Its average daily temperatures range from a low
of -10.4 C (13.3 F) in January to a summer peak of 17.7 C (63.9 F) in July.[44] With
average maximum of 23.1 C (73.6 F) in July, and minimum of -14.8 C (5.4 F) in Janua
ry.[45] Annually, temperatures can exceed 30 C (86 F) for an average of four to fi
ve days anytime from late April to mid-September and fall below -20 C (-4 F) for a
n average of 28 days. The highest temperature recorded within the City of Edmont
on was 37.2 C (99.0 F), on June 29, 1937. [46] On July 2, 2013, a record high humi
dex of 43 C (109.4 F) was recorded, due to an unusually humid day with an air temp
erature of 33.9 C (93.0 F) and a record high dewpoint of 23 C (73.4 F). [47][48] The
lowest overall temperature ever recorded in Edmonton was -49.4 C (-56.9 F), on Ja
nuary 19 and 21, 1886.[49]
Typically, summer lasts from late June until early September, and the humidity i
s seldom uncomfortably high. Winter lasts from November to March, and varies gre
atly in length and severity. Spring and autumn are both short and highly variabl
e. Edmonton's growing season is from May 7 to September 23;[50] Edmonton average
s 140 frost free days a year.[51] At the summer solstice, Edmonton receives seve
nteen hours and three minutes of daylight, with an hour and forty-six minutes of
civil twilight.[52] On average Edmonton receives 2,299 hours of bright sunshine
[53] per year and is one of Canada's sunniest cities.[44]

The summer of 2006 was a particularly warm one for Edmonton, as temperatures rea
ched 29 C (84 F) or higher more than 20 times during the year, from as early as mi
d-May and again in early September. The winter of 2011 12 was particularly warm; f
rom December 22, 2011, till March 20, 2012, Edmonton saw temperatures at or abov
e 0.0 C (32.00 F) 53 times at the City Centre Airport.[54][55][56][57]
Edmonton has a fairly dry climate. On average, it receives 476.9 millimetres (18
.78 in) of precipitation, of which 365.7 millimetres (14.40 in) is rain and 111.
2 millimetres (4.38 in) is the melt from 123.5 centimetres (48.6 in) of snowfall
per annum.[44] Precipitation is heaviest in the late spring, summer, and early
autumn. The wettest month is July, while the driest months are February, March,
October, and November.[44] In July, the mean precipitation is 91.7 mm (3.61 in).
[44] Dry spells are not uncommon and may occur at any time of the year. Extremes
do occur, such as the 114 mm (4.49 in) of rainfall that fell on July 31, 1953.[
44] Summer thunderstorms can be frequent and occasionally severe enough to produ
ce large hail, damaging winds, funnel clouds, and even tornadoes. The F4 tornado
that struck Edmonton on July 31, 1987, killing 27, was unusual in many respects
, including severity, duration, damage, and casualties.[citation needed] It is c
ommonly referred to as Black Friday due both to its aberrant characteristics and
the emotional shock it generated.[58] Then-mayor Laurence Decore cited the comm
unity's response to the tornado as evidence that Edmonton was a "city of champio
ns," which later became an unofficial slogan of the city.[1][59]
A massive cluster of thunderstorms occurred on July 11, 2004, with large hail an
d over 100 mm (4 in) of rain reported within the space of an hour in many places
.[60] This "1-in-200 year event" flooded major intersections and underpasses and
damaged both residential and commercial properties. The storm caused extensive
damage to West Edmonton Mall; a small glass section of the roof collapsed under
the weight of the rainwater, causing water to drain onto the mall's indoor ice r
ink. As a result, the mall was forced to undergo an evacuation as a precautionar

Edmonton's river valley constitutes the longest stretch of connected urban parkl
and in North America, and Edmonton has the highest amount of parkland per capita
of any Canadian city; the river valley is 22 times larger than New York City's
Central Park.[63] The river valley is home to various parks ranging from fully s
erviced urban parks to campsite-like facilities with few amenities. This main "R
ibbon of Green" is supplemented by numerous neighbourhood parks located througho
ut the city, to give a total of 111 km2 (27,400 acres) of parkland.[63] Within t
he 7,400 ha (18,000 acres), 25 km (16 mi)-long river valley park system, there a
re 11 lakes, 14 ravines, and 22 major parks, and most of the city has accessible
bike and walking trail connections.[64] These trails are also part of the 235 k
m (146 mi) Waskahegan walking trail. The City of Edmonton has named five parks i
n its River Valley Parks System in honour of each of "The Famous Five".[65]
Edmonton's streets and parklands also contain one of the largest remaining conce
ntrations of healthy American elm trees in the world, unaffected by Dutch elm di
sease, which has wiped out vast numbers of such trees in eastern North America.
Jack pine, lodgepole pine, white spruce, white birch, aspen, mountain ash, Amur
maple, Russian olive, green ash, basswood, various poplars and willows, flowerin
g crabapple, Mayday tree and Manitoba maple are also abundant; bur oak, silver m
aple, hawthorn and Ohio buckeye are increasingly popular. Other introduced tree

species include white ash, blue spruce, Norway maple, red oak, sugar maple, comm
on horse-chestnut, McIntosh apple, and Evans cherry.[66] Three walnut species
bu
tternut, Manchurian walnut, and black walnut have survived in Edmonton.[67]
Several golf courses, both public and private, are also located in the river val
ley; the long summer daylight hours of this northern city provide for extended p
lay from early morning well into the evening.[68] Golf courses and the park syst
em become a winter recreation area during this season, and cross-country skiing
and skating are popular during the long winter. Four downhill ski slopes are loc
ated in the river valley as well, two within the city and two immediately outsid
e.[69]
A variety of volunteer opportunities exist for citizens to participate in the st
ewardship of Edmonton's parkland and river valley. Volunteer programs include Ri
ver Valley Clean-up, Root for Trees, and Partner in Parks.[70] River Valley Clea
n-up engages volunteers to pick up hundreds of bags of litter each year.

Edmonton is divided into 375 neighbourhoods[71] within 7 geographic sectors
a ma
ture area sector, which includes neighbourhoods that were essentially built out
prior to 1970,[72] and 6 surrounding suburban sectors.[73]
Edmonton's Downtown is located within the city's mature area or inner city.[73]
It and the surrounding Boyle Street, Central McDougall, Cloverdale, Garneau, McC
auley, Oliver, Queen Mary Park, Riverdale, Rossdale, Strathcona and University o
f Alberta form Edmonton's Central Core.[72] Oliver and Garneau are the city's mo
st populated and most densely populated neighbourhoods respectively. The mature
area sector also contains the five former urban municipalities annexed by the ci
ty over its history Beverly, Jasper Place, North Edmonton, Strathcona and West E
dmonton (Calder).[15][73]
Larger residential areas within Edmonton's six suburban sectors,[73] each compri
sing multiple neighbourhoods,[74] include: Heritage Valley, Kaskitayo, Riverbend
, Terwillegar Heights and Windermere (southwest sector); The Grange, Lewis Farms
and West Jasper Place (west sector); Big Lake (northwest sector); Castle Downs,
Lake District and The Palisades (north sector); Casselman-Steele Heights, Clare
view, Hermitage and Pilot Sound (northeast sector); and Ellerslie, The Meadows,
Mill Woods and Southeast Edmonton (southeast sector).[75] Mill Woods is divided
into a town centre community (Mill Woods Town Centre)[76] and eight surrounding
communities[77] Burnewood, Knottwood, Lakewood, Millbourne, Millhurst, Ridgewood
, Southwood, and Woodvale[78][79]
each having between two to four neighbourhoods
.[74]
Several transit-oriented developments (TOD) have begun to appear along the LRT l
ine at Clareview, with future developments planned at Belvedere (part of the Old
Town Fort Road Redevelopment Project).[80] Another TOD, called Century Park,[81
] is being constructed at the site of what was once Heritage Mall, at the southe
rn end of the LRT line. Century Park will eventually house up to 5,000 residents
.[82]
The Edmonton City Centre Airport is planned to be redeveloped into a sustainable
community of 30,000 people comprising a transit-oriented mixed use town centre,
townhouses, low, medium and high rise apartments, neighbourhood retail and serv
ice uses, and a major park.[83]
Edmonton has four major industrial districts

the Northwest Industrial District,

the Northeast Industrial District, the Southeast Industrial District and the eme
rging Edmonton Energy and Technology Park,[84] which is part of Alberta's Indust
rial Heartland.[85] The northwest, northeast and southeast districts each have s
maller industrial areas and neighbourhoods within them.[74][84]

Metropolitan area[edit]
Main article: Edmonton Capital Region
Edmonton is at the centre of Canada's sixth largest census metropolitan area (CM
A),[5] which includes Edmonton and 34 other municipalities in the surrounding ar
ea.[87] Larger urban communities include Sherwood Park (an urban service area wi
thin Strathcona County), the cities of St. Albert, Leduc, Spruce Grove and Fort
Saskatchewan, and the towns of Stony Plain, Beaumont, Morinville, and Devon.[88]
Major employment areas outside of Edmonton but within the CMA include the Nisku
Industrial Business Park and the Edmonton International Airport (including a pl
anned inland port logistics support facility in support of the Port Alberta init
iative)[89] in Leduc County, the Acheson Industrial Area in Parkland County, Ref
inery Row in Strathcona County and Alberta's Industrial Heartland[90] within por
tions of Fort Saskatchewan, Strathcona County and Sturgeon County.[91] Alberta's
Industrial Heartland also extends beyond the CMA's northeastern boundary[16] in
to a portion of Lamont County.[91]
The individual economic development interests and costs of service delivery in c
ertain municipalities within the region has led to intermunicipal competition, s
trained intermunicipal relationships and overall fragmentation of the region. Al
though several attempts have been made by the City of Edmonton to absorb surroun
ding municipalities[92] or annex portions of its neighbours,[93] the city has no
t absorbed another municipality since the Town of Jasper Place joined Edmonton o
n August 17, 1964[94] and the city has not annexed land from any of its neighbou
rs since January 1, 1982.[95] After years of mounting pressure in the early 21st
century, the Province of Alberta formed the Capital Region Board (CRB) on April
15, 2008.[96] The CRB consists of 24 member municipalities 22 of which are with
in the Edmonton CMA and two of which are outside the CMA. The City of Edmonton s
ubsequently announced in March 2013 its intent to annex 156 square kilometers of
land (including the Edmonton International Airport) from Leduc County.[97]

Edmonton is the major economic centre for northern and central Alberta and a maj
or centre for the oil and gas industry. As of 2014, the estimated value of major
projects within the Edmonton Capital Region was $57.8-billion, of which $34.4-b
illion are within the oil and gas, oil sands and pipeline sectors.[138]

Edmonton traditionally has been a hub for Albertan petrochemical industries, ear
ning it the nickname "Oil Capital of Canada" in the 1940s.[139] Supply and servi
ce industries drive the energy extraction engine, while research develops new te
chnologies and supports expanded value-added processing of Alberta's massive oil
, gas, and oil sands reserves. These are reported to be the second-largest in th
e world, after Saudi Arabia.[140]

The National Institute for Nanotechnology
Much of the growth in technology sectors is due to Edmonton's reputation as one
of Canada s premier research and education centres. Research initiatives are ancho
red by educational institutions such as the University of Alberta (U of A) as we
ll as government initiatives underway at the Alberta Research Council and Edmont
on Research Park. The U of A campus is home to the National Institute for Nanote
chnology.[141]
During the 1970s and 1980s, Edmonton became a major financial centre, with both
regional offices of Canada's major banks and locally based institutions opening.
[142] However, the turmoil of the late-1980s economy radically changed the situa
tion. Locally based operations such as Principal Trust and Canadian Commercial B
ank[143] would fail, and some regional offices were moved to other cities. The 1
990s saw a solidification of the economy, and Edmonton is now home to Canadian W
estern Bank, the only publicly traded Schedule I chartered bank headquarters wes
t of Toronto.[144] Other major financial centres include ATB Financial, Servus C
redit Union (formerly Capital City Savings), TD Canada Trust and Manulife Financ
ial.[145]
Edmonton has been the birthplace of several companies that have grown to interna
tional stature.[146] The local retail market has also seen the creation of many
successful store concepts, such as The Brick, Katz Group, AutoCanada, Boston Piz
za, Pizza 73, Liquor Stores GP (which includes Liquor Depot, Liquor Barn, OK Liq
uor, and Grapes & Grains), Planet Organic, Shaw Communications, Empire Design, R
unning Room, Booster Juice, Earl's, Fountain Tire and XS Cargo.[147]

Edmonton's geographical location has made it an ideal spot for distribution and
logistics. CN Rail's North American operational facility is located in the city,
as well as a major intermodal facility that handles all incoming freight from t
he port of Prince Rupert in British Columbia.[148]
Retail[edit]
West Edmonton Mall.
Edmonton is home to several shopping malls, including Canada's first mall, Westm
ount Centre; and the largest mall in North America, West Edmonton Mall, which is
also considered to be the 10th largest mall in the world.[149][150] Other menti
onable malls include Bonnie Doon Shopping Centre, Edmonton City Centre (a combin
ation of the former Edmonton Centre and Eaton Centre malls), Southgate Centre, K
ingsway Mall, Northgate Centre, Abbotsfield Mall, Londonderry Mall, and Mill Woo
ds Town Centre.[151]
Edmonton also has many big box shopping centres and power centres. Some of the m
ajor ones include South Edmonton Common (North America's largest open air retail
development),[152] Skyview Power Centre, Terra Losa Centre, Oliver Square, Sout
hpark Centre, The Meadows, Christy's Corner, and Westpoint. In 2008, constructio
n started on the Windermere power centre.[153]
In contrast to suburban centres, Edmonton has many urban retail locations. The l
argest of them all, Old Strathcona, includes many independent stores between 99
Street and 109 Street on Whyte Avenue and area.[154] In around the downtown of E
dmonton, there are a small handful of shopping districts, such as previously men
tioned Edmonton City Centre mall, Jasper Avenue and 104 Street. Near Oliver, 124
Street is home to a significant number of retail stores. Edmonton is the Canadi
an testing-ground for many American retailers, such as Bath & Body Works and Cal
vin Klein.[155]

The Francis Winspear Centre for Music[156] was opened in 1997 after years of pla
nning and fundraising.[157] Described as one of the most acoustically perfect co
ncert halls in Canada, it is home to the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra and hosts a
wide variety of shows every year. It seats 1,932 patrons and houses the $3-mill
ion Davis Concert Organ, the largest concert organ in Canada.[158] Across 102 Av
enue is the Citadel Theatre, named after The Salvation Army Citadel in which Joe
Shoctor first started the Citadel Theatre Company in 1965. It is now one of the
largest theatre complexes in Canada, with five halls, each specializing in diff
erent kinds of productions.[159] On the University of Alberta grounds is the 2,5
34-seat Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium, which were undertaken over a year o
f heavy renovations carried out as part of the province's 2005 centennial celebr
ations. Both it and its southern twin in Calgary were constructed in 1955 for th
e province's golden jubilee and have hosted many concerts, musicals, and ballets
. The Edmonton Opera uses the Jubilee as its base of operations. On the front of
the building is a quote from Suetonius' Life of Augustus: "He found a city buil
t of brick
left it built of marble."
The Old Strathcona neighbourhood is home to the Theatre District, which holds th

e ATB Financial Arts Barns (headquarters of the Edmonton International Fringe Fe


stival), The Walterdale Playhouse, Catalyst Theatre, and the Varscona Theatre (b
ase of operations for several theatre companies, including Teatro la Quindicina,
Shadow Theatre, Die-Nasty, and Oh Susanna!). Edmonton was named cultural capita
l of Canada in 2007.[160][161] The Ukrainian Dnipro Ensemble of Edmonton, along
with other Ukrainian choirs such as the Ukrainian Male Chorus of Edmonton, helps
preserve the Ukrainian musical culture within the parameters of the Canadian mu
lticultural identity in Edmonton.[162]
Festivals[edit]

Edmonton plays host to several large festivals each year, contributing to its ni
ckname, "Canada's Festival City".[1] Downtown Edmonton's Churchill Square host n
umerous festivals each summer. The Works Art & Design Festival, which takes plac
e from late June to early July, showcases Canadian and international art and des

s. The Edmonton International Street Performer's Festival[163] takes place in mi
d-July and showcases street performance artists from around the world.
Edmonton's main summer festival is K-Days, formerly Klondike Days, Capital Ex an
d originally the Edmonton Exhibition.[164] Founded in 1879, the Edmonton Exhibit
ion was originally an annual fair and exhibition that eventually adopted a gold
rush theme, becoming Klondike Days in the 1960s.[164] Northlands, the operators,
renamed the festival to "Edmonton's Capital Ex" or "Capital Ex" in 2006.[164] I
n 2012, Edmonton Northlands conducted a poll to rename the festival that resulte
d in changing the name to "K-Days".[164] Activities include carnival rides and f
airways, music, trade shows, and daily fireworks.[165]
Since 1960, the Sourdough Raft Races have also been a popular event.[166] Later
in November, Edmonton plays host to the Canadian Finals Rodeo and Farmfair; this
is a significant event in Canada's rodeo circuit and second only to the Nationa
l Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas in prestige.[167]
The Edmonton International Fringe Festival, held in mid-August, is the largest f
ringe theatre festival in North America and second only to the Edinburgh Fringe
Festival worldwide.[168] In August, Edmonton is also host to the Edmonton Folk M

Rodeo,[171] the Free Will Shakespeare Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival,[172] t
he Whyte Avenue Art Walk, and the Edmonton International Film Festival.
Museums and galleries[edit]
Art Gallery of Alberta.
Buildings on the grounds of the Royal Alberta Museum.
The main building of the Telus World of Science.
There are many museums in Edmonton of various sizes.[173] The largest is the Roy
al Alberta Museum (RAM), which was formerly known as the Provincial Museum of Al
berta until it was renamed in honour of Queen Elizabeth II's 2005 Alberta centen
nial visit. The RAM houses over 10 million objects in its collection and showcas
es the culture and practices of the diverse aboriginal tribes of the region. The
main building, overlooking the river valley west of the city centre in the Glen
ora neighbourhood, was opened in 1967 and is now in the early stages of large-sc

ale redevelopment.[174]
The Telus World of Science is located in the Woodcroft neighbourhood northwest o
f the city centre. It opened in 1984 and has since been expanded several times.
It contains five permanent galleries, one additional gallery for temporary exhib
its, an IMAX theatre, a planetarium, an observatory, and an amateur radio statio
n. The Edmonton Valley Zoo is in the river valley to the southwest of the city c
entre.[175]
The Alberta Aviation Museum, located in a hangar at the City Centre Airport, was
built for the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. Its collection includes b
oth civilian and military aircraft, the largest of which are a Boeing 737 and tw
o CF-101 Voodoos. It also has one of only 3 BOMARC missiles in Canada.
The Prince of Wales Armouries Heritage Centre is also home to the Loyal Edmonton
Regiment Military Museum. The museum is dedicated to preserving the military he
ritage and the sacrifices made by the people of Edmonton and Alberta in general.
The museum features two galleries and several smaller exhibits. The collection
includes historic firearms, uniforms, souvenirs, memorabilia, military accoutrem
ents, as well as a large photographic and archival collection spanning the pre-W
orld War One period to the present. The museum features an exhibit on the role o
f the 49th Battalion, CEF in Canada's Hundred Days Offensive. The Telephone Hist
orical Centre is a telephone museum also located in the Prince of Wales Armourie
s Heritage Centre in central Edmonton. In addition to a collection of artifacts
tracing the history of the telephone, the museum has its own theatre featuring a
brief film led by the robot Xeldon.[176]
The Alberta Railway Museum[177] is located in the rural northeast portion of the
city. It contains a variety of locomotives and railroad cars from different per
iods, and includes a working steam locomotive. Since most of its exhibits are ou
tdoors, it is only open between Victoria Day and Labour Day.
Fort Edmonton Park, Canada's largest living history museum, is located in the ri
ver valley southwest of the city centre. Edmonton's heritage is displayed throug
h historical buildings (many of which are originals moved to the park), costumed
historical interpreters, and authentic artifacts. In total, it covers the regio
n's history from approximately 1795 to 1929 (represented by Fort Edmonton), foll
owed chronologically by 1885, 1905, and 1920 streets, and a recreation of a 1920
s midway. A steam train, streetcars, automobiles and horse-drawn vehicles may be
seen in operation (and utilized by the public) around the park. The John Walter
Museum and Historical Area (c. 1875 to 1901) is on the Canadian Register of His
toric Places.[178] The University of Alberta operates its own internal Museums a
nd Collections service.[179]
The Art Gallery of Alberta (AGA) is the city's largest single gallery. Formerly
housed in an inconspicuous 1970s building downtown, the AGA collection had over
5,000 pieces of art. The former AGA building was demolished in July 2007 to make
way for construction of a new facility designed by Randall Stout. It was estima
ted to cost over $88-million and the amount that Edmonton City Council donated t
owards its construction was met with some controversy. The AGA officially opened
on January 31, 2010.[180] Independent galleries can be found throughout the cit
y, especially along the 124 Street/Jasper Avenue corridor, known as the "gallery
walk".[181]
Music[edit]
Further information: List of musicians from Edmonton
In the city's early days, music was performed in churches and community halls. E
dmonton has a history of opera and classical music performance; both genres hist
orically have been supported by a variety of clubs and associations. Edmonton's
first major radio station, CKUA, began broadcasting music in 1927.[182] The city

is a centre for music instruction; the University of Alberta began its music de
partment in 1945, and MacEwan University opened a jazz and musical theatre progr
am in 1980. Festivals of jazz, folk, and classical music are popular entertainme
nt events in the city.[183]
The Edmonton Symphony Orchestra has existed under various incarnations since 191
3. In 1952, the Edmonton Philharmonic and the Edmonton Pops orchestras amalgamat
ed to form the 60-member modern version. The Orchestra performs at the Francis W
inspear Centre for Music.[184]
The city also has a vibrant popular music scene, across genres including hip-hop
, reggae, R&B, rock, pop, metal, punk, country and electronica. Notable past and
present local musicians include Robert Goulet,[185] Tommy Banks, Tim Feehan, Ca
dence Weapon, Kreesha Turner, The Smalls, SNFU, Social Code, Stereos, Ten Second
Epic, Tupelo Honey, Mac DeMarco, Shout Out Out Out Out, Purity Ring, The Wet Se
crets, and numerous others.[186]
Nightlife[edit]
There are several key areas of nightlife in the city of Edmonton. The most popul
ar is the Whyte Avenue (82 Avenue) strip, located between 109 Street and 99 Stre
et; it has the highest number of heritage buildings in Edmonton,[187] and the ni
ghtlife (bars, clubs, and restaurants) are located throughout, but mostly west o
f Gateway Boulevard (103 Street). Once the heart of the town of Strathcona (anne
xed by Edmonton on February 1, 1912), it fell into disrepair during the middle o
f the 20th century.[188] Beginning in the 1970s, a coordinated effort to revive
the area through the establishment of a business revitalization zone has produce
d an area rich with restored historical buildings and pleasant streetscapes.[86]
Its proximity to the University of Alberta has led to a high number of establis
hments ranging from restaurants and pubs to trendy clubs while hosting a wide va
riety of retail and specialty shops during the day. This area also contains two
independent movie theatres: the Garneau and Princess theatres, as well as severa
l live theatre, music, and comedy venues.[189]
Downtown Edmonton has undergone a continual process of renewal and growth since
the mid-1990s. Many buildings were demolished during the oil boom, starting in t
he 1960s and continuing into the 1980s, to make way for office towers. As such,
there have always been numerous pub-type establishments, as well as many hotel l
ounges and restaurants. The past decade has seen a strong resurgence in more mai
nstream venues. Edmonton also has a high demand for pub crawl tours in the city.
Various clubs are also to be found along Edmonton's main street, Jasper Avenue.
The Edmonton City Centre mall also houses an Empire Theatres movie theatre, fea
turing nine screens. The nonprofit Metro Cinema[190] shows a variety of alternat
ive or otherwise unreleased films every week.
West Edmonton Mall holds several after-hour establishments in addition to its ma
ny stores and attractions. Bourbon Street has numerous eating establishments; cl
ubs and casinos can also be found within the complex. Scotiabank Theatre (former
ly known as Silver City), at the west end of the mall, is a theatre that feature
s twelve screens and an IMAX.[19]

Government[edit]
Matthew McCauley, first mayor of Edmonton
In 1892 Edmonton was incorporated as a town. The first mayor was Matthew McCaule
y, who established the first school board in Edmonton and Board of Trade (later
Chamber of Commerce) and a municipal police service.[198] Due to mayor McCauley'
s good relationship with the federal Liberals this helped Edmonton to maintain p
olitical prominence over Strathcona, a rival settlement on the south bank of the
North Saskatchewan River.[198] Edmonton was incorporated as a city in 1904 and
became the capital of Alberta in 1905.
Unions and radical organizations such as the Industrial Workers of the World str
uggled for progressive social change through the early years, with the first ref
ormer, James East, being elected in 1912, followed by the first official Labour
alderman, James Kinney, the following year. Many thousands of workers participat
ed in the Edmonton general strike of 1919 and a strong block of Labour represent
atives were on council after the next election: James Kinney, James East, Sam Mc
Coppen, Joe Clarke and Rice Sheppard.
Labour representation on city council would become a near-majority in 1929, and,
during the Great Depression, a full majority from 1932 to 1934.[199] Jan Reimer
became the city's first female mayor, when she was elected in 1989.[200]

Municipal politics[edit]
Edmonton is represented by a mayor and 12 councillors one for each of the 12 wards
. On July 22, 2009 City Council adopted an electoral system that divides Edmonto
n into 12 wards, instead of the previous two for each of six wards. This system
came into effect with the following election in October 2010.[201] The most rece
nt election was held in October 2013, and elected members to a four-year term.
Provincial politics[edit]
Provincial Legislature of Alberta lit up by exterior lighting during a winter ni
ght.
Provincial Legislature of Alberta
Edmonton is the capital of the province of Alberta and holds all main provincial
areas of government such as the Provincial Legislature of Alberta. The Edmonton
region is represented by 20 MLAs, one for each provincial electoral district. M
any of these boundaries have been changed, adjusted and renamed while the city h
as grown.[202] In the current 29th Alberta Legislature all of Edmonton's distric
ts are represented by members from the governing Alberta New Democratic Party.[2
03] Six of these members are cabinet ministers while one of them is also the Pre
mier of Alberta, Rachel Notley.[204]
Crime[edit]
The city's police force, the Edmonton Police Service, was founded in 1892, and h
ad approximately 1,400 officers in 2012.[205] Edmonton experienced a decrease in
crime in the 1990s, an increase in the early 2000s,[206] and another downturn a

t the end of the decade.


The Edmonton census metropolitan area (CMA) had a crime severity index of 84.5 i
n 2013, which is higher the national average of 68.7.[207] Its crime severity in
dex was the fifth-highest among CMAs in Canada behind Regina, Saskatoon, Kelowna
and Vancouver.[207] Edmonton had the fourth-most homicides in 2013 at 27.[207]
Military[edit]
Edmonton is home to 1 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group (1 CMBG), the Regular Fo
rce army brigade group of Land Force Western Area of the Canadian Army. Units in
1 CMBG include Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians), 1 Combat Engineer Reg
iment, two of the three regular force battalions of Princess Patricia's Canadian
Light Infantry, and various headquarters, service, and support elements. Althou
gh not part of 1 CMBG, 408 Tactical Helicopter Squadron and 1 Field Ambulance ar
e located with the brigade group. All of these units are located at Lancaster Pa
rk, immediately north of the city. From 1943, as CFB Namao (now CFB Edmonton/Edm
onton Garrison), it was a major air force base.[208] In 1996, all fixed-wing avi
ation units were transferred to CFB Cold Lake.
The Canadian Airborne Training Centre had been located in the city in the 1980s.
The move of 1 CMBG and component units from Calgary occurred in 1996 in what wa
s described as a cost-saving measure.[209] The brigade had existed in Calgary si
nce the 1950s, and Lord Strathcona's Horse had traditionally been a Calgary garr
ison unit dating back to before World War I.
Edmonton also has a large army reserve element from 41 Canadian Brigade Group (4
1 CBG), including The Loyal Edmonton Regiment (4th Battalion, Princess Patricia'
s Canadian Light Infantry); 41 Combat Engineer Regiment; HQ Battery, 20th Field
Artillery Regiment; and B Squadron of The South Alberta Light Horse, one of Albe
rta's oldest army reserve units. Despite being far from Canada's coasts, Edmonto
n is also the home of HMCS Nonsuch,[210] a naval reserve division. There are num
erous cadet corps[211] of the different elements (naval, army and air force) wit
hin Edmonton as well.
Infrastructure[edit]
Transportation[edit]
Main article: Transportation in Edmonton
Aviation[edit]
Edmonton International Airport's South Terminal.
See also: List of airports in the Edmonton Capital Region
Edmonton is a major air transportation gateway to northern Alberta and northern
Canada.[26] The Edmonton International Airport (EIA) is the main airport serving
the city.
The EIA provides passenger service to destinations in the United States, Europe,
Mexico, and the Caribbean. The EIA is located within Leduc County, adjacent to
the City of Leduc and the Nisku Industrial Business Park. With direct air distan
ces from Edmonton to places such as London in Europe being shorter than to other
main airports in western North America,[212] Edmonton Airports is working to es
tablish a major container shipping hub called Port Alberta.[213]
Rail[edit]
Edmonton serves as a major transportation hub for Canadian National Railway, who
se North American operations management centre is located at their Edmonton offi
ces. It is also tied into the Canadian Pacific Railway network, which provides s
ervice from Calgary to the south and extends northeast of Edmonton to serve Albe
rta's Industrial Heartland.
Inter-city rail passenger rail service is provided by Via Rail's premier train,

the Canadian, as it travels between Vancouver, British Columbia, and Toronto, On


tario. Passenger trains stop at the Edmonton railway station three days a week i
n both directions. The train connects Edmonton to multiple stops in British Colu
mbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario.[214]
Public transit[edit]
Bay/Enterprise Square LRT station
The Edmonton Transit System (ETS) is the city's public transit agency, operating
the Edmonton Light Rail Transit (LRT) line as well as a fleet of buses.[215] Ap
proximately one-third of people in the Edmonton Capital Region (mostly from Edmo
nton proper) use ETS per day (354,440[216][217] out of 1,034,945[218]). There ar
e approximately 280,000 ETS bus riders on average per day.[216]
From the 1990s to early 2009, Edmonton was one of two cities in Canada still ope
rating trolley buses, along with Vancouver. On June 18, 2008, City Council decid
ed to abandon the Edmonton trolley bus system[219] and the last trolley bus ran
on May 2, 2009.[220][221]
Scheduled LRT service began on April 23, 1978, with five extensions of the singl
e line completed since.[222] The original Edmonton line is considered to be the
first "modern" light rail line in North America (i.e., built from scratch, rathe
r than being an upgrade of an old system). It introduced the use of German-desig
ned rolling stock that subsequently became the standard light rail vehicle of th
e United States.[222] The Edmonton "proof-of-payment" fare collection system ado
pted in 1980
modelled after European ticket systems
became the North American tr
ansit industry's preferred approach for subsequent light rail projects.[223] The
four-year South LRT extension was opened in full on April 24, 2010, which sees
trains travelling to Century Park[224] (located at 23 Avenue and 111 Street), ma
king stops at South Campus and Southgate Centre along the way.[224] A line to th
e Northern Alberta Institute of Technology in north-central Edmonton using the s
ame high floor technology of the existing system opened September 6, 2015. Edmon
ton is also expanding the LRT to Mill Woods (the southeast) by 2020 and to Lewis
Farms (the west) thereafter using low floor technology.
Roads[edit]
Stony Plain Road looking towards downtown
A largely gridded system forms most of Edmonton's street and road network.[225]
The address system is mostly numbered, with streets running south to north and a
venues running east to west. In built-up areas built since the 1950s, local stre
ets and major roadways generally do not conform to the grid system. Major roadwa
ys include Kingsway, Yellowhead Trail (Highway 16), Whitemud Drive and Anthony H
enday Drive, and the city is connected to other communities elsewhere in Alberta
, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan via the Yellowhead Highway to the west and
east and the Queen Elizabeth II Highway (Alberta Highway 2) to the south.[226][2
27]
Trail system[edit]
There is an extensive multi-use trail system for bicycles and pedestrians throug
hout the city; however, most of this is within the river valley parkland system.
[228]
Electricity and water[edit]
EPCOR's former Rossdale Power Plant.
Edmonton's first power company established itself in 1891 and installed streetli
ghts along the city's main avenue, Jasper Avenue. The power company was bought b
y the Town of Edmonton in 1902 and remains under municipal ownership today as EP
COR. Also in charge of water treatment, in 2002 EPCOR installed the world's larg

est ultraviolet (UV) water treatment or ultraviolet disinfection system at its E


.L. Smith Water Treatment Plant.[229]
Waste disposal[edit]
The Edmonton Composting Facility, the largest of its type in the world, is also
the largest stainless steel building in North America.[230] By 2016, the city an
ticipates that it will divert more than 90 percent of the city's household waste
from the landfills.[230][231] Among the innovative uses for the city's waste in
cludes a Christmas tree recycling program. The trees are collected each January
and put through a woodchipper; this material is used as an addition to the compo
sting process. In addition, the wood chips absorb much of the odour produced by
the compost by providing a biofilter element to trap odour causing gaseous resul
ts of the process.[232]
Together, the Waste Management Centre and Wastewater Treatment plant are known a
s the Edmonton Waste Management Centre of Excellence. Research partners include
the University of Alberta, the Alberta Research Council, the Northern Alberta In
stitute of Technology, and Olds College.[233]
Health care[edit]
University Hospital Complex at the University of Alberta.
There are four main hospitals serving Edmonton: University of Alberta Hospital,
Royal Alexandra Hospital, Misericordia Community Hospital, and Grey Nuns Communi
ty Hospital.[234] Other area hospitals include Sturgeon Community Hospital in St
. Albert, Leduc Community Hospital in Leduc, Westview Health Centre in Stony Pla
in, and Fort Saskatchewan Community Hospital in Fort Saskatchewan. Dedicated psy
chiatric care is provided at the Alberta Hospital. The Northeast Community Healt
h Centre offers a 24-hour emergency room with no inpatient ward services. The Un
iversity of Alberta Hospital is the centre of a larger complex of hospitals and
clinics located adjacent to the university campus which comprises the Stollery C
hildren's Hospital, Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute, Cross Cancer Institute,
Zeidler Gastrointestinal Health Centre, Ledcor Clinical Training Centre, and Ed
monton Clinic. Several health research institutes, including the Heritage Medica
l Research Centre, Medical Sciences Building, Katz Group Centre for Pharmacy and
Health Research, and Li Ka Shing Centre for Health Research Innovation, are als
o located at this site. A similar set-up is also evident at the Royal Alexandra
Hospital, which is connected to the Lois Hole Hospital for Women and Orthopaedic
Surgery Centre. All hospitals are under the administration of Alberta Health Se
rvices, although Misericordia and Grey Nuns are run separately by Covenant Healt
h.[235]
Education[edit]
Entryway to MacEwan University's downtown campus.
Secondary[edit]
Edmonton has three publicly funded school boards (districts) that provide kinder
garten and grades 1 12. The vast majority of students attend schools in the two la
rge English language boards: Edmonton Public Schools, and the separate Edmonton
Catholic School District.[236] Also, since 1994, the Francophone minority commun
ity has had their own school board based in Edmonton, the Greater North Central
Francophone Education Region No. 2, which includes surrounding communities. The
city also has a number of public charter schools that are independent of any boa
rd. All three school boards and public charter schools are funded through provin
cial grants and property taxes.
Some private schools exist as well, including Edmonton Academy,[237] Progressive
Academy[238] and Tempo School.[239] The Edmonton Society for Christian Educatio
n[240] and Millwoods Christian School (not part of the former) used to be privat
e schools; however, both have become part of Edmonton Public Schools as alternat

ive programs.[241][242]
Both the Edmonton Public Schools and the Edmonton Catholic School District provi
de support and resources for those wishing to homeschool their children.[243]
Post-secondary[edit]
Those post-secondary institutions based in Edmonton that are publicly funded inc
lude Concordia University College of Alberta, MacEwan University, The King's Uni
versity College, NorQuest College, the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology
(NAIT) and the University of Alberta (U of A).[244] The publicly funded Athabasc
a University and the University of Lethbridge[244] also have campuses in Edmonto
n.[245][246]
The U of A is a board-governed institution[247] that has an annual revenue of ov
er one billion dollars.[248] In 2011/12, the university had over 38,000 students
enrolled within nearly 400 undergraduate, graduate and professional programs, a
s well as over 15,000 students enrolled in its faculty of extension.[249] The U
of A is also home to the second-largest research library system in Canada.[250]
In 2010/11, MacEwan University had a total student population of over 43,000 stu
dents, including nearly 14,000 full-time students, enrolled in programs offering
bachelor's degrees, university transfers, diplomas and certificates.[251] NAIT
has an approximate total of 61,200 students enrolled in more than 200 programs[2
52] while NorQuest College has approximately 8,500 students enrolled in various
full-time, part-time and continuing education programs.[253]
Other post-secondary institutions within Edmonton include Taylor University Coll
ege and Seminary[254] and Yellowhead Tribal College, a First Nations college.[25
5]
Media[edit]
Main article: Media in Edmonton
Edmonton has seven local broadcast television stations shown on basic cable TV o
r over-the-air, with the oldest broadcasters in the city being CTV (1961) and CB
C (1954).[256] Most of Edmonton's conventional television stations have made the
switch to over-the-air digital broadcasting. The cable television providers in
Edmonton are Telus (for IPTV) and Shaw Cable. Twenty-one FM and eight AM radio s
tations are based in Edmonton.[257]
Edmonton has two large-circulation daily newspapers, the Edmonton Journal and th
e Edmonton Sun. The Journal, established in 1903 and owned by the Postmedia Netw
ork, has a daily circulation of 112,000, while the Sun, established in 1978 and
owned by Sun Media, has a circulation of 55,000.[258] The Journal no longer publ
ishes a Sunday edition as of July 2012.[259]
There is one free daily newspaper in the city, Metro.[260] The magazine Vue Week
ly is published on a weekly basis and focuses on alternative news.[261] The Edmo
nton Examiner is a city-wide community based paper also published weekly.[262] T
here are also a number of smaller weekly and community newspapers.

History[edit]
Further information: History of Edmonton and Timeline of Edmonton history
The earliest known inhabitants settled in the area that is now Edmonton around 3
,000 BC and perhaps as early as 12,000 BC, when an ice-free corridor opened up a
s the last glacial period ended and timber, water, and wildlife became available
in the region.[21]
In 1754, Anthony Henday, an explorer working for the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC),
may have been the first European to enter the Edmonton area.[22] His expedition
s across the Canadian Prairies were mainly to seek contact with the aboriginal p
opulation for the purpose of establishing the fur trade, as competition was fier
ce between the Hudson's Bay Company and the North West Company. By 1795, Fort Ed
monton was established on the north bank of the river, as a major trading post f
or the Hudson's Bay Company.[23] The name of the new fort was suggested by John
Peter Pruden after Edmonton, London, the home town of both the HBC deputy govern
or Sir James Winter Lake, and Pruden.
The coming of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) to southern Alberta in 1885 hel

ped the Edmonton economy, and the 1891 building of the Calgary and Edmonton (C&E
) Railway resulted in the emergence of a railway townsite (South Edmonton/Strath
cona) on the south side of the river, across from Edmonton. The arrival of the C
PR and the C&E Railway facilitated the arrival of settlers and entrepreneurs fro
m eastern Canada, Britain and continental Europe, U.S. and other parts of the wo
rld. The fertile soil and cheap land in the Edmonton area helped attract settler
s, further establishing Edmonton as a major regional commercial and agricultural
centre. Some people participating in the Klondike Gold Rush passed through Sout
h Edmonton/Strathcona in 1897. Strathcona was the northernmost railway point in
North America, but travel to the Klondike was still very difficult for the "Klon
dikers", and a majority of them took a steamship north to the Yukon from Vancouv
er.[24]
Jasper Avenue in Edmonton, ca.1907
Incorporated as a town in 1892 with a population of 700 and then as a city in 19
04 with a population of 8,350,[25] Edmonton became the capital of Alberta when t
he province was formed a year later, on September 1, 1905.[26] In November 1905,
the Canadian Northern Railway (CNR) arrived in Edmonton, accelerating growth.[2
7]
During the early 1900s, Edmonton grew very rapidly, causing speculation in real
estate. In 1912, Edmonton amalgamated with the City of Strathcona, south of the
North Saskatchewan River; as a result, the city extended south of the North Sask
atchewan River for the first time.[28]
Just prior to World War I, the boom ended, and the city's population declined sh
arply from more than 72,000 in 1914 to less than 54,000 only two years later.[29
] Many impoverished families moved to subsistence farms outside the city and oth
ers fled to greener pastures in other provinces.[30] Recruitment to the Canadian
army during the war also contributed to the drop in population.[31] Afterwards,
the city slowly recovered in population and economy during the 1920s and 1930s
and took off again during and after World War II.
The Edmonton City Centre Airport opened in 1929,[32] becoming the first licensed
airfield in Canada.[33] Originally named Blatchford Field in honour of former m
ayor Kenny Blatchford, pioneering aviators such as Wilfrid R. "Wop" May and Max
Ward used Blatchford Field as a major base for the distribution of mail, food, a
nd medicine to Northern Canada; hence Edmonton's emergence as the "Gateway to th
e North". World War II saw Edmonton becoming a major base for the construction o
f the Alaska Highway and the Northwest Staging Route.[34]
Geography[edit]
Edmonton is located on the North Saskatchewan River, and sits at an elevation of
671 metres (2,201 ft).[26] Edmonton is the most northerly city in North America
with a metropolitan population of over one million. It is at the same latitude
as Hamburg (Germany), Dublin (Ireland), Manchester (United Kingdom), and Magnito
gorsk (Russia). North as it is, it is south of the geographic centre of Alberta,
which is located near the Hamlet of Fort Assiniboine.[35] The terrain in and ar
ound Edmonton is generally flat to gently rolling, with ravines and deep river v
alleys, such as the North Saskatchewan River valley.[36] The Canadian Rockies ar
e located about 220 km (140 mi) to the southwest.
The North Saskatchewan River originates at the Columbia Icefield in Jasper Natio
nal Park and bisects the city. Before the construction of two reservoirs near th
e mountains, it would sometimes flood Edmonton's river valley, most notably in t
he North Saskatchewan River flood of 1915. It empties via the Saskatchewan River
, Lake Winnipeg, and the Nelson River into Hudson Bay.[37] It runs from the sout
hwest to the northeast and is fed by numerous creeks throughout the city, such a
s Mill Creek, Whitemud Creek and Blackmud Creek; this creates numerous ravines,

some of which are used for urban parkland.[38] Edmonton is situated at the bound
ary between prairie to the south and boreal forest to the north, in a transition
al area known as aspen parkland. However, the aspen woods and forests in and aro
und Edmonton have long since been reduced by farming and other human activities,
such as oil and natural gas exploration.[39]
Climate[edit]
Edmonton has a humid continental climate (Kppen climate classification Dfb)[40] w
ith relatively low precipitation, and falls into the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 4
a.[41]
The city has milder winters than either Regina[42] or Winnipeg,[43] both further
south of Edmonton in latitude. Its average daily temperatures range from a low
of -10.4 C (13.3 F) in January to a summer peak of 17.7 C (63.9 F) in July.[44] With
average maximum of 23.1 C (73.6 F) in July, and minimum of -14.8 C (5.4 F) in Janua
ry.[45] Annually, temperatures can exceed 30 C (86 F) for an average of four to fi
ve days anytime from late April to mid-September and fall below -20 C (-4 F) for a
n average of 28 days. The highest temperature recorded within the City of Edmont
on was 37.2 C (99.0 F), on June 29, 1937. [46] On July 2, 2013, a record high humi
dex of 43 C (109.4 F) was recorded, due to an unusually humid day with an air temp
erature of 33.9 C (93.0 F) and a record high dewpoint of 23 C (73.4 F). [47][48] The
lowest overall temperature ever recorded in Edmonton was -49.4 C (-56.9 F), on Ja
nuary 19 and 21, 1886.[49]
Typically, summer lasts from late June until early September, and the humidity i
s seldom uncomfortably high. Winter lasts from November to March, and varies gre
atly in length and severity. Spring and autumn are both short and highly variabl
e. Edmonton's growing season is from May 7 to September 23;[50] Edmonton average
s 140 frost free days a year.[51] At the summer solstice, Edmonton receives seve
nteen hours and three minutes of daylight, with an hour and forty-six minutes of
civil twilight.[52] On average Edmonton receives 2,299 hours of bright sunshine
[53] per year and is one of Canada's sunniest cities.[44]
The summer of 2006 was a particularly warm one for Edmonton, as temperatures rea
ched 29 C (84 F) or higher more than 20 times during the year, from as early as mi
d-May and again in early September. The winter of 2011 12 was particularly warm; f
rom December 22, 2011, till March 20, 2012, Edmonton saw temperatures at or abov
e 0.0 C (32.00 F) 53 times at the City Centre Airport.[54][55][56][57]
Edmonton has a fairly dry climate. On average, it receives 476.9 millimetres (18
.78 in) of precipitation, of which 365.7 millimetres (14.40 in) is rain and 111.
2 millimetres (4.38 in) is the melt from 123.5 centimetres (48.6 in) of snowfall
per annum.[44] Precipitation is heaviest in the late spring, summer, and early
autumn. The wettest month is July, while the driest months are February, March,
October, and November.[44] In July, the mean precipitation is 91.7 mm (3.61 in).
[44] Dry spells are not uncommon and may occur at any time of the year. Extremes
do occur, such as the 114 mm (4.49 in) of rainfall that fell on July 31, 1953.[
44] Summer thunderstorms can be frequent and occasionally severe enough to produ
ce large hail, damaging winds, funnel clouds, and even tornadoes. The F4 tornado
that struck Edmonton on July 31, 1987, killing 27, was unusual in many respects
, including severity, duration, damage, and casualties.[citation needed] It is c
ommonly referred to as Black Friday due both to its aberrant characteristics and
the emotional shock it generated.[58] Then-mayor Laurence Decore cited the comm
unity's response to the tornado as evidence that Edmonton was a "city of champio
ns," which later became an unofficial slogan of the city.[1][59]
A massive cluster of thunderstorms occurred on July 11, 2004, with large hail an
d over 100 mm (4 in) of rain reported within the space of an hour in many places
.[60] This "1-in-200 year event" flooded major intersections and underpasses and
damaged both residential and commercial properties. The storm caused extensive

damage to West Edmonton Mall; a small glass section of the roof collapsed under
the weight of the rainwater, causing water to drain onto the mall's indoor ice r
ink. As a result, the mall was forced to undergo an evacuation as a precautionar
y measure.[61]

Streambed in Hawrelak Park
Edmonton's river valley constitutes the longest stretch of connected urban parkl
and in North America, and Edmonton has the highest amount of parkland per capita
of any Canadian city; the river valley is 22 times larger than New York City's
Central Park.[63] The river valley is home to various parks ranging from fully s
erviced urban parks to campsite-like facilities with few amenities. This main "R
ibbon of Green" is supplemented by numerous neighbourhood parks located througho
ut the city, to give a total of 111 km2 (27,400 acres) of parkland.[63] Within t
he 7,400 ha (18,000 acres), 25 km (16 mi)-long river valley park system, there a
re 11 lakes, 14 ravines, and 22 major parks, and most of the city has accessible
bike and walking trail connections.[64] These trails are also part of the 235 k
m (146 mi) Waskahegan walking trail. The City of Edmonton has named five parks i
n its River Valley Parks System in honour of each of "The Famous Five".[65]
Edmonton's streets and parklands also contain one of the largest remaining conce
ntrations of healthy American elm trees in the world, unaffected by Dutch elm di
sease, which has wiped out vast numbers of such trees in eastern North America.
Jack pine, lodgepole pine, white spruce, white birch, aspen, mountain ash, Amur
maple, Russian olive, green ash, basswood, various poplars and willows, flowerin
g crabapple, Mayday tree and Manitoba maple are also abundant; bur oak, silver m
aple, hawthorn and Ohio buckeye are increasingly popular. Other introduced tree
species include white ash, blue spruce, Norway maple, red oak, sugar maple, comm
bu
on horse-chestnut, McIntosh apple, and Evans cherry.[66] Three walnut species
tternut, Manchurian walnut, and black walnut have survived in Edmonton.[67]
Several golf courses, both public and private, are also located in the river val
ley; the long summer daylight hours of this northern city provide for extended p
lay from early morning well into the evening.[68] Golf courses and the park syst
em become a winter recreation area during this season, and cross-country skiing
and skating are popular during the long winter. Four downhill ski slopes are loc
ated in the river valley as well, two within the city and two immediately outsid
e.[69]
A variety of volunteer opportunities exist for citizens to participate in the st
ewardship of Edmonton's parkland and river valley. Volunteer programs include Ri
ver Valley Clean-up, Root for Trees, and Partner in Parks.[70] River Valley Clea
n-up engages volunteers to pick up hundreds of bags of litter each year.

Edmonton is divided into 375 neighbourhoods[71] within 7 geographic sectors
a ma
ture area sector, which includes neighbourhoods that were essentially built out
prior to 1970,[72] and 6 surrounding suburban sectors.[73]
Edmonton's Downtown is located within the city's mature area or inner city.[73]

It and the surrounding Boyle Street, Central McDougall, Cloverdale, Garneau, McC
auley, Oliver, Queen Mary Park, Riverdale, Rossdale, Strathcona and University o
f Alberta form Edmonton's Central Core.[72] Oliver and Garneau are the city's mo
st populated and most densely populated neighbourhoods respectively. The mature
area sector also contains the five former urban municipalities annexed by the ci
ty over its history
Beverly, Jasper Place, North Edmonton, Strathcona and West E
dmonton (Calder).[15][73]
Larger residential areas within Edmonton's six suburban sectors,[73] each compri
sing multiple neighbourhoods,[74] include: Heritage Valley, Kaskitayo, Riverbend
, Terwillegar Heights and Windermere (southwest sector); The Grange, Lewis Farms
and West Jasper Place (west sector); Big Lake (northwest sector); Castle Downs,
Lake District and The Palisades (north sector); Casselman-Steele Heights, Clare
view, Hermitage and Pilot Sound (northeast sector); and Ellerslie, The Meadows,
Mill Woods and Southeast Edmonton (southeast sector).[75] Mill Woods is divided
into a town centre community (Mill Woods Town Centre)[76] and eight surrounding
communities[77] Burnewood, Knottwood, Lakewood, Millbourne, Millhurst, Ridgewood
, Southwood, and Woodvale[78][79]
each having between two to four neighbourhoods
.[74]
Several transit-oriented developments (TOD) have begun to appear along the LRT l
ine at Clareview, with future developments planned at Belvedere (part of the Old
Town Fort Road Redevelopment Project).[80] Another TOD, called Century Park,[81
] is being constructed at the site of what was once Heritage Mall, at the southe
rn end of the LRT line. Century Park will eventually house up to 5,000 residents
.[82]
The Edmonton City Centre Airport is planned to be redeveloped into a sustainable
community of 30,000 people comprising a transit-oriented mixed use town centre,
townhouses, low, medium and high rise apartments, neighbourhood retail and serv
ice uses, and a major park.[83]
Edmonton has four major industrial districts the Northwest Industrial District,
the Northeast Industrial District, the Southeast Industrial District and the eme
rging Edmonton Energy and Technology Park,[84] which is part of Alberta's Indust
rial Heartland.[85] The northwest, northeast and southeast districts each have s
maller industrial areas and neighbourhoods within them.[74][84]

Metropolitan area[edit]
Main article: Edmonton Capital Region
Edmonton is at the centre of Canada's sixth largest census metropolitan area (CM
A),[5] which includes Edmonton and 34 other municipalities in the surrounding ar
ea.[87] Larger urban communities include Sherwood Park (an urban service area wi
thin Strathcona County), the cities of St. Albert, Leduc, Spruce Grove and Fort
Saskatchewan, and the towns of Stony Plain, Beaumont, Morinville, and Devon.[88]
Major employment areas outside of Edmonton but within the CMA include the Nisku
Industrial Business Park and the Edmonton International Airport (including a pl
anned inland port logistics support facility in support of the Port Alberta init
iative)[89] in Leduc County, the Acheson Industrial Area in Parkland County, Ref
inery Row in Strathcona County and Alberta's Industrial Heartland[90] within por
tions of Fort Saskatchewan, Strathcona County and Sturgeon County.[91] Alberta's
Industrial Heartland also extends beyond the CMA's northeastern boundary[16] in
to a portion of Lamont County.[91]

The individual economic development interests and costs of service delivery in c


ertain municipalities within the region has led to intermunicipal competition, s
trained intermunicipal relationships and overall fragmentation of the region. Al
though several attempts have been made by the City of Edmonton to absorb surroun
ding municipalities[92] or annex portions of its neighbours,[93] the city has no
t absorbed another municipality since the Town of Jasper Place joined Edmonton o
n August 17, 1964[94] and the city has not annexed land from any of its neighbou
rs since January 1, 1982.[95] After years of mounting pressure in the early 21st
century, the Province of Alberta formed the Capital Region Board (CRB) on April
15, 2008.[96] The CRB consists of 24 member municipalities
22 of which are with
in the Edmonton CMA and two of which are outside the CMA. The City of Edmonton s
ubsequently announced in March 2013 its intent to annex 156 square kilometers of
land (including the Edmonton International Airport) from Leduc County.[97]

Edmonton is the major economic centre for northern and central Alberta and a maj
or centre for the oil and gas industry. As of 2014, the estimated value of major
projects within the Edmonton Capital Region was $57.8-billion, of which $34.4-b
illion are within the oil and gas, oil sands and pipeline sectors.[138]

Edmonton traditionally has been a hub for Albertan petrochemical industries, ear

ning it the nickname "Oil Capital of Canada" in the 1940s.[139] Supply and servi
ce industries drive the energy extraction engine, while research develops new te
chnologies and supports expanded value-added processing of Alberta's massive oil
, gas, and oil sands reserves. These are reported to be the second-largest in th
e world, after Saudi Arabia.[140]

The National Institute for Nanotechnology
Much of the growth in technology sectors is due to Edmonton's reputation as one
of Canada s premier research and education centres. Research initiatives are ancho
red by educational institutions such as the University of Alberta (U of A) as we
ll as government initiatives underway at the Alberta Research Council and Edmont
on Research Park. The U of A campus is home to the National Institute for Nanote
chnology.[141]
During the 1970s and 1980s, Edmonton became a major financial centre, with both
regional offices of Canada's major banks and locally based institutions opening.
[142] However, the turmoil of the late-1980s economy radically changed the situa
tion. Locally based operations such as Principal Trust and Canadian Commercial B
ank[143] would fail, and some regional offices were moved to other cities. The 1
990s saw a solidification of the economy, and Edmonton is now home to Canadian W
estern Bank, the only publicly traded Schedule I chartered bank headquarters wes
t of Toronto.[144] Other major financial centres include ATB Financial, Servus C
redit Union (formerly Capital City Savings), TD Canada Trust and Manulife Financ
ial.[145]
Edmonton has been the birthplace of several companies that have grown to interna
tional stature.[146] The local retail market has also seen the creation of many
successful store concepts, such as The Brick, Katz Group, AutoCanada, Boston Piz
za, Pizza 73, Liquor Stores GP (which includes Liquor Depot, Liquor Barn, OK Liq
uor, and Grapes & Grains), Planet Organic, Shaw Communications, Empire Design, R
unning Room, Booster Juice, Earl's, Fountain Tire and XS Cargo.[147]
Edmonton's geographical location has made it an ideal spot for distribution and
logistics. CN Rail's North American operational facility is located in the city,
as well as a major intermodal facility that handles all incoming freight from t
he port of Prince Rupert in British Columbia.[148]
Retail[edit]
West Edmonton Mall.
Edmonton is home to several shopping malls, including Canada's first mall, Westm
ount Centre; and the largest mall in North America, West Edmonton Mall, which is
also considered to be the 10th largest mall in the world.[149][150] Other menti
onable malls include Bonnie Doon Shopping Centre, Edmonton City Centre (a combin
ation of the former Edmonton Centre and Eaton Centre malls), Southgate Centre, K
ingsway Mall, Northgate Centre, Abbotsfield Mall, Londonderry Mall, and Mill Woo
ds Town Centre.[151]
Edmonton also has many big box shopping centres and power centres. Some of the m
ajor ones include South Edmonton Common (North America's largest open air retail
development),[152] Skyview Power Centre, Terra Losa Centre, Oliver Square, Sout
hpark Centre, The Meadows, Christy's Corner, and Westpoint. In 2008, constructio
n started on the Windermere power centre.[153]
In contrast to suburban centres, Edmonton has many urban retail locations. The l
argest of them all, Old Strathcona, includes many independent stores between 99
Street and 109 Street on Whyte Avenue and area.[154] In around the downtown of E
dmonton, there are a small handful of shopping districts, such as previously men
tioned Edmonton City Centre mall, Jasper Avenue and 104 Street. Near Oliver, 124

Street is home to a significant number of retail stores. Edmonton is the Canadi


an testing-ground for many American retailers, such as Bath & Body Works and Cal
vin Klein.[155]
Arts and culture[edit]

Many events are anchored in the downtown Arts District, centred around Churchill
Square (named in honour of Sir Winston Churchill). On the south side of the riv
er, the University district and Whyte Avenue contain theatres, concert halls, an

The Francis Winspear Centre for Music[156] was opened in 1997 after years of pla
nning and fundraising.[157] Described as one of the most acoustically perfect co
ncert halls in Canada, it is home to the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra and hosts a
wide variety of shows every year. It seats 1,932 patrons and houses the $3-mill
ion Davis Concert Organ, the largest concert organ in Canada.[158] Across 102 Av
enue is the Citadel Theatre, named after The Salvation Army Citadel in which Joe
Shoctor first started the Citadel Theatre Company in 1965. It is now one of the
largest theatre complexes in Canada, with five halls, each specializing in diff
erent kinds of productions.[159] On the University of Alberta grounds is the 2,5
34-seat Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium, which were undertaken over a year o
f heavy renovations carried out as part of the province's 2005 centennial celebr
ations. Both it and its southern twin in Calgary were constructed in 1955 for th
e province's golden jubilee and have hosted many concerts, musicals, and ballets
. The Edmonton Opera uses the Jubilee as its base of operations. On the front of
the building is a quote from Suetonius' Life of Augustus: "He found a city buil
t of brick
left it built of marble."
The Old Strathcona neighbourhood is home to the Theatre District, which holds th
e ATB Financial Arts Barns (headquarters of the Edmonton International Fringe Fe
stival), The Walterdale Playhouse, Catalyst Theatre, and the Varscona Theatre (b
ase of operations for several theatre companies, including Teatro la Quindicina,
Shadow Theatre, Die-Nasty, and Oh Susanna!). Edmonton was named cultural capita
l of Canada in 2007.[160][161] The Ukrainian Dnipro Ensemble of Edmonton, along
with other Ukrainian choirs such as the Ukrainian Male Chorus of Edmonton, helps
preserve the Ukrainian musical culture within the parameters of the Canadian mu
lticultural identity in Edmonton.[162]
Festivals[edit]

Edmonton plays host to several large festivals each year, contributing to its ni
ckname, "Canada's Festival City".[1] Downtown Edmonton's Churchill Square host n
umerous festivals each summer. The Works Art & Design Festival, which takes plac
e from late June to early July, showcases Canadian and international art and des
ign from well-known award-winning artists as well as emerging and student artist
s. The Edmonton International Street Performer's Festival[163] takes place in mi
d-July and showcases street performance artists from around the world.
Edmonton's main summer festival is K-Days, formerly Klondike Days, Capital Ex an
d originally the Edmonton Exhibition.[164] Founded in 1879, the Edmonton Exhibit
ion was originally an annual fair and exhibition that eventually adopted a gold
rush theme, becoming Klondike Days in the 1960s.[164] Northlands, the operators,
renamed the festival to "Edmonton's Capital Ex" or "Capital Ex" in 2006.[164] I

n 2012, Edmonton Northlands conducted a poll to rename the festival that resulte
d in changing the name to "K-Days".[164] Activities include carnival rides and f
airways, music, trade shows, and daily fireworks.[165]
Since 1960, the Sourdough Raft Races have also been a popular event.[166] Later
in November, Edmonton plays host to the Canadian Finals Rodeo and Farmfair; this
is a significant event in Canada's rodeo circuit and second only to the Nationa
l Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas in prestige.[167]
The Edmonton International Fringe Festival, held in mid-August, is the largest f
ringe theatre festival in North America and second only to the Edinburgh Fringe
Festival worldwide.[168] In August, Edmonton is also host to the Edmonton Folk M
usic Festival, one of the most successful and popular folk music festivals in No
rth America.[169] Another major summer festival is the Edmonton Heritage Festiva
l, which is an ethnocultural festival that takes place in Hawrelak Park on the H
eritage Day long weekend.[170] Many other festivals exist, such as Interstellar
Rodeo,[171] the Free Will Shakespeare Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival,[172] t
he Whyte Avenue Art Walk, and the Edmonton International Film Festival.

There are many museums in Edmonton of various sizes.[173] The largest is the Roy
al Alberta Museum (RAM), which was formerly known as the Provincial Museum of Al
berta until it was renamed in honour of Queen Elizabeth II's 2005 Alberta centen
nial visit. The RAM houses over 10 million objects in its collection and showcas
es the culture and practices of the diverse aboriginal tribes of the region. The
main building, overlooking the river valley west of the city centre in the Glen
ora neighbourhood, was opened in 1967 and is now in the early stages of large-sc
ale redevelopment.[174]
The Telus World of Science is located in the Woodcroft neighbourhood northwest o
f the city centre. It opened in 1984 and has since been expanded several times.
It contains five permanent galleries, one additional gallery for temporary exhib
its, an IMAX theatre, a planetarium, an observatory, and an amateur radio statio
n. The Edmonton Valley Zoo is in the river valley to the southwest of the city c
entre.[175]
The Alberta Aviation Museum, located in a hangar at the City Centre Airport, was
built for the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. Its collection includes b

The museum features two galleries and several smaller exhibits. The collection
includes historic firearms, uniforms, souvenirs, memorabilia, military accoutrem
ents, as well as a large photographic and archival collection spanning the pre-W
orld War One period to the present. The museum features an exhibit on the role o
f the 49th Battalion, CEF in Canada's Hundred Days Offensive. The Telephone Hist
orical Centre is a telephone museum also located in the Prince of Wales Armourie
s Heritage Centre in central Edmonton. In addition to a collection of artifacts
tracing the history of the telephone, the museum has its own theatre featuring a
brief film led by the robot Xeldon.[176]

The Alberta Railway Museum[177] is located in the rural northeast portion of the
city. It contains a variety of locomotives and railroad cars from different per
iods, and includes a working steam locomotive. Since most of its exhibits are ou
tdoors, it is only open between Victoria Day and Labour Day.
Fort Edmonton Park, Canada's largest living history museum, is located in the ri
ver valley southwest of the city centre. Edmonton's heritage is displayed throug
h historical buildings (many of which are originals moved to the park), costumed
historical interpreters, and authentic artifacts. In total, it covers the regio
n's history from approximately 1795 to 1929 (represented by Fort Edmonton), foll
owed chronologically by 1885, 1905, and 1920 streets, and a recreation of a 1920
s midway. A steam train, streetcars, automobiles and horse-drawn vehicles may be
seen in operation (and utilized by the public) around the park. The John Walter
Museum and Historical Area (c. 1875 to 1901) is on the Canadian Register of His
toric Places.[178] The University of Alberta operates its own internal Museums a
nd Collections service.[179]
The Art Gallery of Alberta (AGA) is the city's largest single gallery. Formerly
housed in an inconspicuous 1970s building downtown, the AGA collection had over
5,000 pieces of art. The former AGA building was demolished in July 2007 to make
way for construction of a new facility designed by Randall Stout. It was estima
ted to cost over $88-million and the amount that Edmonton City Council donated t
owards its construction was met with some controversy. The AGA officially opened
on January 31, 2010.[180] Independent galleries can be found throughout the cit
y, especially along the 124 Street/Jasper Avenue corridor, known as the "gallery
walk".[181]
Music[edit]
Further information: List of musicians from Edmonton
In the city's early days, music was performed in churches and community halls. E
dmonton has a history of opera and classical music performance; both genres hist
orically have been supported by a variety of clubs and associations. Edmonton's
first major radio station, CKUA, began broadcasting music in 1927.[182] The city
is a centre for music instruction; the University of Alberta began its music de
partment in 1945, and MacEwan University opened a jazz and musical theatre progr
am in 1980. Festivals of jazz, folk, and classical music are popular entertainme
nt events in the city.[183]
The Edmonton Symphony Orchestra has existed under various incarnations since 191
3. In 1952, the Edmonton Philharmonic and the Edmonton Pops orchestras amalgamat
ed to form the 60-member modern version. The Orchestra performs at the Francis W
inspear Centre for Music.[184]
The city also has a vibrant popular music scene, across genres including hip-hop
, reggae, R&B, rock, pop, metal, punk, country and electronica. Notable past and
present local musicians include Robert Goulet,[185] Tommy Banks, Tim Feehan, Ca
dence Weapon, Kreesha Turner, The Smalls, SNFU, Social Code, Stereos, Ten Second
Epic, Tupelo Honey, Mac DeMarco, Shout Out Out Out Out, Purity Ring, The Wet Se
crets, and numerous others.[186]
Nightlife[edit]
There are several key areas of nightlife in the city of Edmonton. The most popul
ar is the Whyte Avenue (82 Avenue) strip, located between 109 Street and 99 Stre
et; it has the highest number of heritage buildings in Edmonton,[187] and the ni
ghtlife (bars, clubs, and restaurants) are located throughout, but mostly west o
f Gateway Boulevard (103 Street). Once the heart of the town of Strathcona (anne
xed by Edmonton on February 1, 1912), it fell into disrepair during the middle o
f the 20th century.[188] Beginning in the 1970s, a coordinated effort to revive
the area through the establishment of a business revitalization zone has produce
d an area rich with restored historical buildings and pleasant streetscapes.[86]

Its proximity to the University of Alberta has led to a high number of establis
hments ranging from restaurants and pubs to trendy clubs while hosting a wide va
riety of retail and specialty shops during the day. This area also contains two
independent movie theatres: the Garneau and Princess theatres, as well as severa
l live theatre, music, and comedy venues.[189]
Downtown Edmonton has undergone a continual process of renewal and growth since
the mid-1990s. Many buildings were demolished during the oil boom, starting in t
he 1960s and continuing into the 1980s, to make way for office towers. As such,
there have always been numerous pub-type establishments, as well as many hotel l
ounges and restaurants. The past decade has seen a strong resurgence in more mai
nstream venues. Edmonton also has a high demand for pub crawl tours in the city.
Various clubs are also to be found along Edmonton's main street, Jasper Avenue.
The Edmonton City Centre mall also houses an Empire Theatres movie theatre, fea
turing nine screens. The nonprofit Metro Cinema[190] shows a variety of alternat
ive or otherwise unreleased films every week.
West Edmonton Mall holds several after-hour establishments in addition to its ma
ny stores and attractions. Bourbon Street has numerous eating establishments; cl
ubs and casinos can also be found within the complex. Scotiabank Theatre (former
ly known as Silver City), at the west end of the mall, is a theatre that feature
s twelve screens and an IMAX.[19]

Government[edit]
Matthew McCauley, first mayor of Edmonton
In 1892 Edmonton was incorporated as a town. The first mayor was Matthew McCaule
y, who established the first school board in Edmonton and Board of Trade (later
Chamber of Commerce) and a municipal police service.[198] Due to mayor McCauley'
s good relationship with the federal Liberals this helped Edmonton to maintain p
olitical prominence over Strathcona, a rival settlement on the south bank of the
North Saskatchewan River.[198] Edmonton was incorporated as a city in 1904 and
became the capital of Alberta in 1905.
Unions and radical organizations such as the Industrial Workers of the World str
uggled for progressive social change through the early years, with the first ref
ormer, James East, being elected in 1912, followed by the first official Labour
alderman, James Kinney, the following year. Many thousands of workers participat
ed in the Edmonton general strike of 1919 and a strong block of Labour represent
atives were on council after the next election: James Kinney, James East, Sam Mc

Coppen, Joe Clarke and Rice Sheppard.


Labour representation on city council would become a near-majority in 1929, and,
during the Great Depression, a full majority from 1932 to 1934.[199] Jan Reimer
became the city's first female mayor, when she was elected in 1989.[200]

Municipal politics[edit]
Edmonton is represented by a mayor and 12 councillors one for each of the 12 wards
. On July 22, 2009 City Council adopted an electoral system that divides Edmonto
n into 12 wards, instead of the previous two for each of six wards. This system
came into effect with the following election in October 2010.[201] The most rece
nt election was held in October 2013, and elected members to a four-year term.
Provincial politics[edit]
Provincial Legislature of Alberta lit up by exterior lighting during a winter ni
ght.
Provincial Legislature of Alberta
Edmonton is the capital of the province of Alberta and holds all main provincial
areas of government such as the Provincial Legislature of Alberta. The Edmonton
region is represented by 20 MLAs, one for each provincial electoral district. M
any of these boundaries have been changed, adjusted and renamed while the city h
as grown.[202] In the current 29th Alberta Legislature all of Edmonton's distric
ts are represented by members from the governing Alberta New Democratic Party.[2
03] Six of these members are cabinet ministers while one of them is also the Pre
mier of Alberta, Rachel Notley.[204]
Crime[edit]
The city's police force, the Edmonton Police Service, was founded in 1892, and h
ad approximately 1,400 officers in 2012.[205] Edmonton experienced a decrease in
crime in the 1990s, an increase in the early 2000s,[206] and another downturn a
t the end of the decade.
The Edmonton census metropolitan area (CMA) had a crime severity index of 84.5 i
n 2013, which is higher the national average of 68.7.[207] Its crime severity in
dex was the fifth-highest among CMAs in Canada behind Regina, Saskatoon, Kelowna
and Vancouver.[207] Edmonton had the fourth-most homicides in 2013 at 27.[207]
Military[edit]
Edmonton is home to 1 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group (1 CMBG), the Regular Fo
rce army brigade group of Land Force Western Area of the Canadian Army. Units in
1 CMBG include Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians), 1 Combat Engineer Reg
iment, two of the three regular force battalions of Princess Patricia's Canadian
Light Infantry, and various headquarters, service, and support elements. Althou
gh not part of 1 CMBG, 408 Tactical Helicopter Squadron and 1 Field Ambulance ar
e located with the brigade group. All of these units are located at Lancaster Pa
rk, immediately north of the city. From 1943, as CFB Namao (now CFB Edmonton/Edm
onton Garrison), it was a major air force base.[208] In 1996, all fixed-wing avi
ation units were transferred to CFB Cold Lake.
The Canadian Airborne Training Centre had been located in the city in the 1980s.
The move of 1 CMBG and component units from Calgary occurred in 1996 in what wa
s described as a cost-saving measure.[209] The brigade had existed in Calgary si
nce the 1950s, and Lord Strathcona's Horse had traditionally been a Calgary garr
ison unit dating back to before World War I.
Edmonton also has a large army reserve element from 41 Canadian Brigade Group (4
1 CBG), including The Loyal Edmonton Regiment (4th Battalion, Princess Patricia'

s Canadian Light Infantry); 41 Combat Engineer Regiment; HQ Battery, 20th Field


Artillery Regiment; and B Squadron of The South Alberta Light Horse, one of Albe
rta's oldest army reserve units. Despite being far from Canada's coasts, Edmonto
n is also the home of HMCS Nonsuch,[210] a naval reserve division. There are num
erous cadet corps[211] of the different elements (naval, army and air force) wit
hin Edmonton as well.
Infrastructure[edit]
Transportation[edit]
Main article: Transportation in Edmonton
Aviation[edit]
Edmonton International Airport's South Terminal.
See also: List of airports in the Edmonton Capital Region
Edmonton is a major air transportation gateway to northern Alberta and northern
Canada.[26] The Edmonton International Airport (EIA) is the main airport serving
the city.
The EIA provides passenger service to destinations in the United States, Europe,
Mexico, and the Caribbean. The EIA is located within Leduc County, adjacent to
the City of Leduc and the Nisku Industrial Business Park. With direct air distan
ces from Edmonton to places such as London in Europe being shorter than to other
main airports in western North America,[212] Edmonton Airports is working to es
tablish a major container shipping hub called Port Alberta.[213]
Rail[edit]
Edmonton serves as a major transportation hub for Canadian National Railway, who
se North American operations management centre is located at their Edmonton offi
ces. It is also tied into the Canadian Pacific Railway network, which provides s
ervice from Calgary to the south and extends northeast of Edmonton to serve Albe
rta's Industrial Heartland.
Inter-city rail passenger rail service is provided by Via Rail's premier train,
the Canadian, as it travels between Vancouver, British Columbia, and Toronto, On
tario. Passenger trains stop at the Edmonton railway station three days a week i
n both directions. The train connects Edmonton to multiple stops in British Colu
mbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario.[214]
Public transit[edit]
Bay/Enterprise Square LRT station
The Edmonton Transit System (ETS) is the city's public transit agency, operating
the Edmonton Light Rail Transit (LRT) line as well as a fleet of buses.[215] Ap
proximately one-third of people in the Edmonton Capital Region (mostly from Edmo
nton proper) use ETS per day (354,440[216][217] out of 1,034,945[218]). There ar
e approximately 280,000 ETS bus riders on average per day.[216]
From the 1990s to early 2009, Edmonton was one of two cities in Canada still ope
rating trolley buses, along with Vancouver. On June 18, 2008, City Council decid
ed to abandon the Edmonton trolley bus system[219] and the last trolley bus ran
on May 2, 2009.[220][221]
Scheduled LRT service began on April 23, 1978, with five extensions of the singl
e line completed since.[222] The original Edmonton line is considered to be the
first "modern" light rail line in North America (i.e., built from scratch, rathe
r than being an upgrade of an old system). It introduced the use of German-desig
ned rolling stock that subsequently became the standard light rail vehicle of th
e United States.[222] The Edmonton "proof-of-payment" fare collection system ado
pted in 1980
modelled after European ticket systems
became the North American tr
ansit industry's preferred approach for subsequent light rail projects.[223] The

four-year South LRT extension was opened in full on April 24, 2010, which sees
trains travelling to Century Park[224] (located at 23 Avenue and 111 Street), ma
king stops at South Campus and Southgate Centre along the way.[224] A line to th
e Northern Alberta Institute of Technology in north-central Edmonton using the s
ame high floor technology of the existing system opened September 6, 2015. Edmon
ton is also expanding the LRT to Mill Woods (the southeast) by 2020 and to Lewis
Farms (the west) thereafter using low floor technology.
Roads[edit]
Stony Plain Road looking towards downtown
A largely gridded system forms most of Edmonton's street and road network.[225]
The address system is mostly numbered, with streets running south to north and a
venues running east to west. In built-up areas built since the 1950s, local stre
ets and major roadways generally do not conform to the grid system. Major roadwa
ys include Kingsway, Yellowhead Trail (Highway 16), Whitemud Drive and Anthony H
enday Drive, and the city is connected to other communities elsewhere in Alberta
, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan via the Yellowhead Highway to the west and
east and the Queen Elizabeth II Highway (Alberta Highway 2) to the south.[226][2
27]
Trail system[edit]
There is an extensive multi-use trail system for bicycles and pedestrians throug
hout the city; however, most of this is within the river valley parkland system.
[228]
Electricity and water[edit]
EPCOR's former Rossdale Power Plant.
Edmonton's first power company established itself in 1891 and installed streetli
ghts along the city's main avenue, Jasper Avenue. The power company was bought b
y the Town of Edmonton in 1902 and remains under municipal ownership today as EP
COR. Also in charge of water treatment, in 2002 EPCOR installed the world's larg
est ultraviolet (UV) water treatment or ultraviolet disinfection system at its E
.L. Smith Water Treatment Plant.[229]
Waste disposal[edit]
The Edmonton Composting Facility, the largest of its type in the world, is also
the largest stainless steel building in North America.[230] By 2016, the city an
ticipates that it will divert more than 90 percent of the city's household waste
from the landfills.[230][231] Among the innovative uses for the city's waste in
cludes a Christmas tree recycling program. The trees are collected each January
and put through a woodchipper; this material is used as an addition to the compo
sting process. In addition, the wood chips absorb much of the odour produced by
the compost by providing a biofilter element to trap odour causing gaseous resul
ts of the process.[232]
Together, the Waste Management Centre and Wastewater Treatment plant are known a
s the Edmonton Waste Management Centre of Excellence. Research partners include
the University of Alberta, the Alberta Research Council, the Northern Alberta In
stitute of Technology, and Olds College.[233]
Health care[edit]
University Hospital Complex at the University of Alberta.
There are four main hospitals serving Edmonton: University of Alberta Hospital,
Royal Alexandra Hospital, Misericordia Community Hospital, and Grey Nuns Communi
ty Hospital.[234] Other area hospitals include Sturgeon Community Hospital in St
. Albert, Leduc Community Hospital in Leduc, Westview Health Centre in Stony Pla
in, and Fort Saskatchewan Community Hospital in Fort Saskatchewan. Dedicated psy

chiatric care is provided at the Alberta Hospital. The Northeast Community Healt
h Centre offers a 24-hour emergency room with no inpatient ward services. The Un
iversity of Alberta Hospital is the centre of a larger complex of hospitals and
clinics located adjacent to the university campus which comprises the Stollery C
hildren's Hospital, Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute, Cross Cancer Institute,
Zeidler Gastrointestinal Health Centre, Ledcor Clinical Training Centre, and Ed
monton Clinic. Several health research institutes, including the Heritage Medica
l Research Centre, Medical Sciences Building, Katz Group Centre for Pharmacy and
Health Research, and Li Ka Shing Centre for Health Research Innovation, are als
o located at this site. A similar set-up is also evident at the Royal Alexandra
Hospital, which is connected to the Lois Hole Hospital for Women and Orthopaedic
Surgery Centre. All hospitals are under the administration of Alberta Health Se
rvices, although Misericordia and Grey Nuns are run separately by Covenant Healt
h.[235]
Education[edit]
Entryway to MacEwan University's downtown campus.
Secondary[edit]
Edmonton has three publicly funded school boards (districts) that provide kinder
garten and grades 1 12. The vast majority of students attend schools in the two la
rge English language boards: Edmonton Public Schools, and the separate Edmonton
Catholic School District.[236] Also, since 1994, the Francophone minority commun
ity has had their own school board based in Edmonton, the Greater North Central
Francophone Education Region No. 2, which includes surrounding communities. The
city also has a number of public charter schools that are independent of any boa
rd. All three school boards and public charter schools are funded through provin
cial grants and property taxes.
Some private schools exist as well, including Edmonton Academy,[237] Progressive
Academy[238] and Tempo School.[239] The Edmonton Society for Christian Educatio
n[240] and Millwoods Christian School (not part of the former) used to be privat
e schools; however, both have become part of Edmonton Public Schools as alternat
ive programs.[241][242]
Both the Edmonton Public Schools and the Edmonton Catholic School District provi
de support and resources for those wishing to homeschool their children.[243]
Post-secondary[edit]
Those post-secondary institutions based in Edmonton that are publicly funded inc
lude Concordia University College of Alberta, MacEwan University, The King's Uni
versity College, NorQuest College, the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology
(NAIT) and the University of Alberta (U of A).[244] The publicly funded Athabasc
a University and the University of Lethbridge[244] also have campuses in Edmonto
n.[245][246]
The U of A is a board-governed institution[247] that has an annual revenue of ov
er one billion dollars.[248] In 2011/12, the university had over 38,000 students
enrolled within nearly 400 undergraduate, graduate and professional programs, a
s well as over 15,000 students enrolled in its faculty of extension.[249] The U
of A is also home to the second-largest research library system in Canada.[250]
In 2010/11, MacEwan University had a total student population of over 43,000 stu
dents, including nearly 14,000 full-time students, enrolled in programs offering
bachelor's degrees, university transfers, diplomas and certificates.[251] NAIT
has an approximate total of 61,200 students enrolled in more than 200 programs[2
52] while NorQuest College has approximately 8,500 students enrolled in various
full-time, part-time and continuing education programs.[253]
Other post-secondary institutions within Edmonton include Taylor University Coll

ege and Seminary[254] and Yellowhead Tribal College, a First Nations college.[25

Media[edit]
Main article: Media in Edmonton
Edmonton has seven local broadcast television stations shown on basic cable TV o
r over-the-air, with the oldest broadcasters in the city being CTV (1961) and CB
C (1954).[256] Most of Edmonton's conventional television stations have made the
switch to over-the-air digital broadcasting. The cable television providers in
Edmonton are Telus (for IPTV) and Shaw Cable. Twenty-one FM and eight AM radio s
tations are based in Edmonton.[257]
Edmonton has two large-circulation daily newspapers, the Edmonton Journal and th
e Edmonton Sun. The Journal, established in 1903 and owned by the Postmedia Netw
ork, has a daily circulation of 112,000, while the Sun, established in 1978 and
owned by Sun Media, has a circulation of 55,000.[258] The Journal no longer publ
ishes a Sunday edition as of July 2012.[259]
There is one free daily newspaper in the city, Metro.[260] The magazine Vue Week
ly is published on a weekly basis and focuses on alternative news.[261] The Edmo
nton Examiner is a city-wide community based paper also published weekly.[262] T
here are also a number of smaller weekly and community newspapers.

History[edit]
Further information: History of Edmonton and Timeline of Edmonton history
The earliest known inhabitants settled in the area that is now Edmonton around 3
,000 BC and perhaps as early as 12,000 BC, when an ice-free corridor opened up a
s the last glacial period ended and timber, water, and wildlife became available
in the region.[21]
In 1754, Anthony Henday, an explorer working for the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC),
may have been the first European to enter the Edmonton area.[22] His expedition
s across the Canadian Prairies were mainly to seek contact with the aboriginal p
opulation for the purpose of establishing the fur trade, as competition was fier
ce between the Hudson's Bay Company and the North West Company. By 1795, Fort Ed
monton was established on the north bank of the river, as a major trading post f
or the Hudson's Bay Company.[23] The name of the new fort was suggested by John
Peter Pruden after Edmonton, London, the home town of both the HBC deputy govern
or Sir James Winter Lake, and Pruden.
The coming of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) to southern Alberta in 1885 hel
ped the Edmonton economy, and the 1891 building of the Calgary and Edmonton (C&E
) Railway resulted in the emergence of a railway townsite (South Edmonton/Strath
cona) on the south side of the river, across from Edmonton. The arrival of the C
PR and the C&E Railway facilitated the arrival of settlers and entrepreneurs fro
m eastern Canada, Britain and continental Europe, U.S. and other parts of the wo
rld. The fertile soil and cheap land in the Edmonton area helped attract settler
s, further establishing Edmonton as a major regional commercial and agricultural
centre. Some people participating in the Klondike Gold Rush passed through Sout
h Edmonton/Strathcona in 1897. Strathcona was the northernmost railway point in
North America, but travel to the Klondike was still very difficult for the "Klon
dikers", and a majority of them took a steamship north to the Yukon from Vancouv
er.[24]
Jasper Avenue in Edmonton, ca.1907
Incorporated as a town in 1892 with a population of 700 and then as a city in 19
04 with a population of 8,350,[25] Edmonton became the capital of Alberta when t
he province was formed a year later, on September 1, 1905.[26] In November 1905,
the Canadian Northern Railway (CNR) arrived in Edmonton, accelerating growth.[2
7]
During the early 1900s, Edmonton grew very rapidly, causing speculation in real
estate. In 1912, Edmonton amalgamated with the City of Strathcona, south of the
North Saskatchewan River; as a result, the city extended south of the North Sask
atchewan River for the first time.[28]
Just prior to World War I, the boom ended, and the city's population declined sh

arply from more than 72,000 in 1914 to less than 54,000 only two years later.[29
] Many impoverished families moved to subsistence farms outside the city and oth
ers fled to greener pastures in other provinces.[30] Recruitment to the Canadian
army during the war also contributed to the drop in population.[31] Afterwards,
the city slowly recovered in population and economy during the 1920s and 1930s
and took off again during and after World War II.
The Edmonton City Centre Airport opened in 1929,[32] becoming the first licensed
airfield in Canada.[33] Originally named Blatchford Field in honour of former m
ayor Kenny Blatchford, pioneering aviators such as Wilfrid R. "Wop" May and Max
Ward used Blatchford Field as a major base for the distribution of mail, food, a
nd medicine to Northern Canada; hence Edmonton's emergence as the "Gateway to th
e North". World War II saw Edmonton becoming a major base for the construction o
f the Alaska Highway and the Northwest Staging Route.[34]
Geography[edit]
Edmonton is located on the North Saskatchewan River, and sits at an elevation of
671 metres (2,201 ft).[26] Edmonton is the most northerly city in North America
with a metropolitan population of over one million. It is at the same latitude
as Hamburg (Germany), Dublin (Ireland), Manchester (United Kingdom), and Magnito
gorsk (Russia). North as it is, it is south of the geographic centre of Alberta,
which is located near the Hamlet of Fort Assiniboine.[35] The terrain in and ar
ound Edmonton is generally flat to gently rolling, with ravines and deep river v
alleys, such as the North Saskatchewan River valley.[36] The Canadian Rockies ar
e located about 220 km (140 mi) to the southwest.
The North Saskatchewan River originates at the Columbia Icefield in Jasper Natio
nal Park and bisects the city. Before the construction of two reservoirs near th
e mountains, it would sometimes flood Edmonton's river valley, most notably in t
he North Saskatchewan River flood of 1915. It empties via the Saskatchewan River
, Lake Winnipeg, and the Nelson River into Hudson Bay.[37] It runs from the sout
hwest to the northeast and is fed by numerous creeks throughout the city, such a
s Mill Creek, Whitemud Creek and Blackmud Creek; this creates numerous ravines,
some of which are used for urban parkland.[38] Edmonton is situated at the bound
ary between prairie to the south and boreal forest to the north, in a transition
al area known as aspen parkland. However, the aspen woods and forests in and aro
und Edmonton have long since been reduced by farming and other human activities,
such as oil and natural gas exploration.[39]
Climate[edit]
Edmonton has a humid continental climate (Kppen climate classification Dfb)[40] w
ith relatively low precipitation, and falls into the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 4
a.[41]
The city has milder winters than either Regina[42] or Winnipeg,[43] both further
south of Edmonton in latitude. Its average daily temperatures range from a low
of -10.4 C (13.3 F) in January to a summer peak of 17.7 C (63.9 F) in July.[44] With
average maximum of 23.1 C (73.6 F) in July, and minimum of -14.8 C (5.4 F) in Janua
ry.[45] Annually, temperatures can exceed 30 C (86 F) for an average of four to fi
ve days anytime from late April to mid-September and fall below -20 C (-4 F) for a
n average of 28 days. The highest temperature recorded within the City of Edmont
on was 37.2 C (99.0 F), on June 29, 1937. [46] On July 2, 2013, a record high humi
dex of 43 C (109.4 F) was recorded, due to an unusually humid day with an air temp
erature of 33.9 C (93.0 F) and a record high dewpoint of 23 C (73.4 F). [47][48] The
lowest overall temperature ever recorded in Edmonton was -49.4 C (-56.9 F), on Ja
nuary 19 and 21, 1886.[49]
Typically, summer lasts from late June until early September, and the humidity i
s seldom uncomfortably high. Winter lasts from November to March, and varies gre
atly in length and severity. Spring and autumn are both short and highly variabl

e. Edmonton's growing season is from May 7 to September 23;[50] Edmonton average


s 140 frost free days a year.[51] At the summer solstice, Edmonton receives seve
nteen hours and three minutes of daylight, with an hour and forty-six minutes of
civil twilight.[52] On average Edmonton receives 2,299 hours of bright sunshine
[53] per year and is one of Canada's sunniest cities.[44]
The summer of 2006 was a particularly warm one for Edmonton, as temperatures rea
ched 29 C (84 F) or higher more than 20 times during the year, from as early as mi
d-May and again in early September. The winter of 2011 12 was particularly warm; f
rom December 22, 2011, till March 20, 2012, Edmonton saw temperatures at or abov
e 0.0 C (32.00 F) 53 times at the City Centre Airport.[54][55][56][57]
Edmonton has a fairly dry climate. On average, it receives 476.9 millimetres (18
.78 in) of precipitation, of which 365.7 millimetres (14.40 in) is rain and 111.
2 millimetres (4.38 in) is the melt from 123.5 centimetres (48.6 in) of snowfall
per annum.[44] Precipitation is heaviest in the late spring, summer, and early
autumn. The wettest month is July, while the driest months are February, March,
October, and November.[44] In July, the mean precipitation is 91.7 mm (3.61 in).
[44] Dry spells are not uncommon and may occur at any time of the year. Extremes
do occur, such as the 114 mm (4.49 in) of rainfall that fell on July 31, 1953.[
44] Summer thunderstorms can be frequent and occasionally severe enough to produ
ce large hail, damaging winds, funnel clouds, and even tornadoes. The F4 tornado
that struck Edmonton on July 31, 1987, killing 27, was unusual in many respects
, including severity, duration, damage, and casualties.[citation needed] It is c
ommonly referred to as Black Friday due both to its aberrant characteristics and
the emotional shock it generated.[58] Then-mayor Laurence Decore cited the comm
unity's response to the tornado as evidence that Edmonton was a "city of champio
ns," which later became an unofficial slogan of the city.[1][59]
A massive cluster of thunderstorms occurred on July 11, 2004, with large hail an
d over 100 mm (4 in) of rain reported within the space of an hour in many places
.[60] This "1-in-200 year event" flooded major intersections and underpasses and
damaged both residential and commercial properties. The storm caused extensive
damage to West Edmonton Mall; a small glass section of the roof collapsed under
the weight of the rainwater, causing water to drain onto the mall's indoor ice r
ink. As a result, the mall was forced to undergo an evacuation as a precautionar
y measure.[61]

Parkland and environment[edit]

Streambed in Hawrelak Park
Edmonton's river valley constitutes the longest stretch of connected urban parkl
and in North America, and Edmonton has the highest amount of parkland per capita
of any Canadian city; the river valley is 22 times larger than New York City's
Central Park.[63] The river valley is home to various parks ranging from fully s
erviced urban parks to campsite-like facilities with few amenities. This main "R
ibbon of Green" is supplemented by numerous neighbourhood parks located througho
ut the city, to give a total of 111 km2 (27,400 acres) of parkland.[63] Within t
he 7,400 ha (18,000 acres), 25 km (16 mi)-long river valley park system, there a
re 11 lakes, 14 ravines, and 22 major parks, and most of the city has accessible
bike and walking trail connections.[64] These trails are also part of the 235 k
m (146 mi) Waskahegan walking trail. The City of Edmonton has named five parks i
n its River Valley Parks System in honour of each of "The Famous Five".[65]
Edmonton's streets and parklands also contain one of the largest remaining conce

ntrations of healthy American elm trees in the world, unaffected by Dutch elm di
sease, which has wiped out vast numbers of such trees in eastern North America.
Jack pine, lodgepole pine, white spruce, white birch, aspen, mountain ash, Amur
maple, Russian olive, green ash, basswood, various poplars and willows, flowerin
g crabapple, Mayday tree and Manitoba maple are also abundant; bur oak, silver m
aple, hawthorn and Ohio buckeye are increasingly popular. Other introduced tree
species include white ash, blue spruce, Norway maple, red oak, sugar maple, comm
on horse-chestnut, McIntosh apple, and Evans cherry.[66] Three walnut species
bu
tternut, Manchurian walnut, and black walnut have survived in Edmonton.[67]
Several golf courses, both public and private, are also located in the river val
ley; the long summer daylight hours of this northern city provide for extended p
lay from early morning well into the evening.[68] Golf courses and the park syst
em become a winter recreation area during this season, and cross-country skiing
and skating are popular during the long winter. Four downhill ski slopes are loc
ated in the river valley as well, two within the city and two immediately outsid
e.[69]
A variety of volunteer opportunities exist for citizens to participate in the st
ewardship of Edmonton's parkland and river valley. Volunteer programs include Ri
ver Valley Clean-up, Root for Trees, and Partner in Parks.[70] River Valley Clea
n-up engages volunteers to pick up hundreds of bags of litter each year.
Neighbourhoods[edit]

Edmonton is divided into 375 neighbourhoods[71] within 7 geographic sectors
a ma
ture area sector, which includes neighbourhoods that were essentially built out
prior to 1970,[72] and 6 surrounding suburban sectors.[73]
Edmonton's Downtown is located within the city's mature area or inner city.[73]
It and the surrounding Boyle Street, Central McDougall, Cloverdale, Garneau, McC
auley, Oliver, Queen Mary Park, Riverdale, Rossdale, Strathcona and University o
f Alberta form Edmonton's Central Core.[72] Oliver and Garneau are the city's mo
st populated and most densely populated neighbourhoods respectively. The mature
area sector also contains the five former urban municipalities annexed by the ci
ty over its history Beverly, Jasper Place, North Edmonton, Strathcona and West E
dmonton (Calder).[15][73]
Larger residential areas within Edmonton's six suburban sectors,[73] each compri
sing multiple neighbourhoods,[74] include: Heritage Valley, Kaskitayo, Riverbend
, Terwillegar Heights and Windermere (southwest sector); The Grange, Lewis Farms
and West Jasper Place (west sector); Big Lake (northwest sector); Castle Downs,
Lake District and The Palisades (north sector); Casselman-Steele Heights, Clare
view, Hermitage and Pilot Sound (northeast sector); and Ellerslie, The Meadows,
Mill Woods and Southeast Edmonton (southeast sector).[75] Mill Woods is divided
into a town centre community (Mill Woods Town Centre)[76] and eight surrounding
communities[77] Burnewood, Knottwood, Lakewood, Millbourne, Millhurst, Ridgewood
, Southwood, and Woodvale[78][79]
each having between two to four neighbourhoods
.[74]
Several transit-oriented developments (TOD) have begun to appear along the LRT l
ine at Clareview, with future developments planned at Belvedere (part of the Old
Town Fort Road Redevelopment Project).[80] Another TOD, called Century Park,[81
] is being constructed at the site of what was once Heritage Mall, at the southe
rn end of the LRT line. Century Park will eventually house up to 5,000 residents
.[82]

The Edmonton City Centre Airport is planned to be redeveloped into a sustainable


community of 30,000 people comprising a transit-oriented mixed use town centre,
townhouses, low, medium and high rise apartments, neighbourhood retail and serv
ice uses, and a major park.[83]
Edmonton has four major industrial districts
the Northwest Industrial District,
the Northeast Industrial District, the Southeast Industrial District and the eme
rging Edmonton Energy and Technology Park,[84] which is part of Alberta's Indust
rial Heartland.[85] The northwest, northeast and southeast districts each have s
maller industrial areas and neighbourhoods within them.[74][84]

Metropolitan area[edit]
Main article: Edmonton Capital Region
Edmonton is at the centre of Canada's sixth largest census metropolitan area (CM
A),[5] which includes Edmonton and 34 other municipalities in the surrounding ar
ea.[87] Larger urban communities include Sherwood Park (an urban service area wi
thin Strathcona County), the cities of St. Albert, Leduc, Spruce Grove and Fort
Saskatchewan, and the towns of Stony Plain, Beaumont, Morinville, and Devon.[88]
Major employment areas outside of Edmonton but within the CMA include the Nisku
Industrial Business Park and the Edmonton International Airport (including a pl
anned inland port logistics support facility in support of the Port Alberta init
iative)[89] in Leduc County, the Acheson Industrial Area in Parkland County, Ref
inery Row in Strathcona County and Alberta's Industrial Heartland[90] within por
tions of Fort Saskatchewan, Strathcona County and Sturgeon County.[91] Alberta's
Industrial Heartland also extends beyond the CMA's northeastern boundary[16] in
to a portion of Lamont County.[91]
The individual economic development interests and costs of service delivery in c
ertain municipalities within the region has led to intermunicipal competition, s
trained intermunicipal relationships and overall fragmentation of the region. Al
though several attempts have been made by the City of Edmonton to absorb surroun
ding municipalities[92] or annex portions of its neighbours,[93] the city has no
t absorbed another municipality since the Town of Jasper Place joined Edmonton o
n August 17, 1964[94] and the city has not annexed land from any of its neighbou
rs since January 1, 1982.[95] After years of mounting pressure in the early 21st
century, the Province of Alberta formed the Capital Region Board (CRB) on April
15, 2008.[96] The CRB consists of 24 member municipalities 22 of which are with
in the Edmonton CMA and two of which are outside the CMA. The City of Edmonton s
ubsequently announced in March 2013 its intent to annex 156 square kilometers of
land (including the Edmonton International Airport) from Leduc County.[97]

Main article: Demographics of Edmonton
The population of the City of Edmonton according to its 2014 municipal census is
877,926, a 7.4% change from its 2012 municipal census population of 817,498.[7]
The 2012 census captured more detailed demographic information on residents, in
cluding age and gender, marital status, employment status, length of residency,
prior residence, employment transportation mode, citizenship and school residenc
y, as well as dwellings and properties, including ownership, structure and statu
s.[119] Per its municipal census policy,[120] the city's next municipal census i
s scheduled for 2016.[121]
In the 2011 Census, the City of Edmonton had a population of 812,201 living in 3
24,756 of its 348,672 total dwellings, an 11.2 percent change from its 2006 popu
lation of 730,372. With a land area of 684.37 km2 (264.24 sq mi), it had a popul
ation density of 1,186.8/km2 (3,073.8/sq mi) in 2011.[4] The census also reporte
d that 50.2 percent of the population (407,325) was female while 49.8 percent (4
04,875) was male. The average age of the city's population was 36.0 years while
there was an average 2.5 people per household.[122]
The Edmonton census metropolitan area (CMA) has the sixth-greatest population of
CMAs in Canada and the second-greatest in Alberta, but has the largest land are
a in Canada. It had a population of 1,159,869 in the 2011 Census compared to its
2006 population of 1,034,945. Its five-year population change of 12.1 percent w
as second only to the Calgary CMA between 2006 and 2011. With a land area of 9,4
26.73 km2 (3,639.68 sq mi), the Edmonton CMA had a population density of 123.0/k
m2 (318.7/sq mi) in 2011.[5] Statistics Canada's latest estimate of the Edmonton
CMA population, as of July 1, 2013, is 1,289,564.[123]
The Edmonton population centre is the core[124] of the Edmonton CMA. This core i
ncludes the cities of Edmonton, Fort Saskatchewan and St. Albert, the Sherwood P
ark portion of Strathcona County, and portions of Parkland County and Sturgeon C
ounty.[125] The Edmonton population centre, the fifth-largest in Canada, had a p
opulation of 960,015 in 2011, an 11.3 percent increase over its 2006 population
of 862,544.[8]
In 2006, people of European ethnicities formed the largest cluster of ethnic gro
ups in Edmonton. These included ethnicities mostly of English, Scottish, German,
Irish, Ukrainian, Polish, and French origin.[126] According to the 2006 census,
the City of Edmonton was 71.8 percent White and 5.3 percent Aboriginal, while v
isible minorities accounted for 22.9 percent of the population.[127]

the Al-Rashid Mosqu
e, founded by Abdullah Yusuf Ali is situated in Edmonton.[130] The Baitul Hadi M
osque is the only Ahmadiyya mosque in the city. Edmonton also hosts a Maronite C
atholic church, on 76 Avenue/98 Street, with services in English on Saturdays an
d Arabic on Sundays. The Lebanese community also has a Druze Community Centre on
the north side of the city. The Edmonton Alberta Temple of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints was dedicated on December 11, 1999. The Hindu Commun

ple) and the Maha Ganapathy Society of Alberta (South Indian Temple).[132] The S
ikh community in Edmonton is served by four gurdwaras. The Jewish Community in E
dmonton is served by Jewish Federation of Edmonton.[133] The region is served by
five synagogues.[134] Edmonton is also home to two of Alberta's five Unitarian
Universalist congregations the Unitarian Church of Edmonton[135] and the Westwoo
d Unitarian Congregation;[136] the other three are located in Calgary, Lethbridg
e, and Red Deer.[137]
Economy[edit]
See also: Economy of Alberta
Edmonton is the major economic centre for northern and central Alberta and a maj
or centre for the oil and gas industry. As of 2014, the estimated value of major
projects within the Edmonton Capital Region was $57.8-billion, of which $34.4-b
illion are within the oil and gas, oil sands and pipeline sectors.[138]

Edmonton traditionally has been a hub for Albertan petrochemical industries, ear
ning it the nickname "Oil Capital of Canada" in the 1940s.[139] Supply and servi
ce industries drive the energy extraction engine, while research develops new te
chnologies and supports expanded value-added processing of Alberta's massive oil
, gas, and oil sands reserves. These are reported to be the second-largest in th
e world, after Saudi Arabia.[140]

The National Institute for Nanotechnology
Much of the growth in technology sectors is due to Edmonton's reputation as one
of Canada s premier research and education centres. Research initiatives are ancho
red by educational institutions such as the University of Alberta (U of A) as we
ll as government initiatives underway at the Alberta Research Council and Edmont
on Research Park. The U of A campus is home to the National Institute for Nanote
chnology.[141]
During the 1970s and 1980s, Edmonton became a major financial centre, with both
regional offices of Canada's major banks and locally based institutions opening.
[142] However, the turmoil of the late-1980s economy radically changed the situa
tion. Locally based operations such as Principal Trust and Canadian Commercial B
ank[143] would fail, and some regional offices were moved to other cities. The 1
990s saw a solidification of the economy, and Edmonton is now home to Canadian W
estern Bank, the only publicly traded Schedule I chartered bank headquarters wes
t of Toronto.[144] Other major financial centres include ATB Financial, Servus C
redit Union (formerly Capital City Savings), TD Canada Trust and Manulife Financ
ial.[145]
Edmonton has been the birthplace of several companies that have grown to interna

tional stature.[146] The local retail market has also seen the creation of many
successful store concepts, such as The Brick, Katz Group, AutoCanada, Boston Piz
za, Pizza 73, Liquor Stores GP (which includes Liquor Depot, Liquor Barn, OK Liq
uor, and Grapes & Grains), Planet Organic, Shaw Communications, Empire Design, R
unning Room, Booster Juice, Earl's, Fountain Tire and XS Cargo.[147]
Edmonton's geographical location has made it an ideal spot for distribution and
logistics. CN Rail's North American operational facility is located in the city,
as well as a major intermodal facility that handles all incoming freight from t
he port of Prince Rupert in British Columbia.[148]
Retail[edit]
West Edmonton Mall.
Edmonton is home to several shopping malls, including Canada's first mall, Westm
ount Centre; and the largest mall in North America, West Edmonton Mall, which is
also considered to be the 10th largest mall in the world.[149][150] Other menti
onable malls include Bonnie Doon Shopping Centre, Edmonton City Centre (a combin
ation of the former Edmonton Centre and Eaton Centre malls), Southgate Centre, K
ingsway Mall, Northgate Centre, Abbotsfield Mall, Londonderry Mall, and Mill Woo
ds Town Centre.[151]
Edmonton also has many big box shopping centres and power centres. Some of the m
ajor ones include South Edmonton Common (North America's largest open air retail
development),[152] Skyview Power Centre, Terra Losa Centre, Oliver Square, Sout
hpark Centre, The Meadows, Christy's Corner, and Westpoint. In 2008, constructio
n started on the Windermere power centre.[153]
In contrast to suburban centres, Edmonton has many urban retail locations. The l
argest of them all, Old Strathcona, includes many independent stores between 99
Street and 109 Street on Whyte Avenue and area.[154] In around the downtown of E
dmonton, there are a small handful of shopping districts, such as previously men
tioned Edmonton City Centre mall, Jasper Avenue and 104 Street. Near Oliver, 124
Street is home to a significant number of retail stores. Edmonton is the Canadi
an testing-ground for many American retailers, such as Bath & Body Works and Cal
vin Klein.[155]
Arts and culture[edit]

Many events are anchored in the downtown Arts District, centred around Churchill
Square (named in honour of Sir Winston Churchill). On the south side of the riv
er, the University district and Whyte Avenue contain theatres, concert halls, an
d various live music venues.
Performing arts[edit]

The Francis Winspear Centre for Music[156] was opened in 1997 after years of pla
nning and fundraising.[157] Described as one of the most acoustically perfect co
ncert halls in Canada, it is home to the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra and hosts a
wide variety of shows every year. It seats 1,932 patrons and houses the $3-mill
ion Davis Concert Organ, the largest concert organ in Canada.[158] Across 102 Av
enue is the Citadel Theatre, named after The Salvation Army Citadel in which Joe
Shoctor first started the Citadel Theatre Company in 1965. It is now one of the
largest theatre complexes in Canada, with five halls, each specializing in diff
erent kinds of productions.[159] On the University of Alberta grounds is the 2,5
34-seat Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium, which were undertaken over a year o
f heavy renovations carried out as part of the province's 2005 centennial celebr
ations. Both it and its southern twin in Calgary were constructed in 1955 for th

e province's golden jubilee and have hosted many concerts, musicals, and ballets
. The Edmonton Opera uses the Jubilee as its base of operations. On the front of
the building is a quote from Suetonius' Life of Augustus: "He found a city buil
t of brick
left it built of marble."
The Old Strathcona neighbourhood is home to the Theatre District, which holds th
e ATB Financial Arts Barns (headquarters of the Edmonton International Fringe Fe
stival), The Walterdale Playhouse, Catalyst Theatre, and the Varscona Theatre (b
ase of operations for several theatre companies, including Teatro la Quindicina,
Shadow Theatre, Die-Nasty, and Oh Susanna!). Edmonton was named cultural capita
l of Canada in 2007.[160][161] The Ukrainian Dnipro Ensemble of Edmonton, along
with other Ukrainian choirs such as the Ukrainian Male Chorus of Edmonton, helps
preserve the Ukrainian musical culture within the parameters of the Canadian mu
lticultural identity in Edmonton.[162]

de waterfall during Klondike Days.
Edmonton plays host to several large festivals each year, contributing to its ni
ckname, "Canada's Festival City".[1] Downtown Edmonton's Churchill Square host n
umerous festivals each summer. The Works Art & Design Festival, which takes plac
e from late June to early July, showcases Canadian and international art and des
ign from well-known award-winning artists as well as emerging and student artist
s. The Edmonton International Street Performer's Festival[163] takes place in mi
d-July and showcases street performance artists from around the world.
Edmonton's main summer festival is K-Days, formerly Klondike Days, Capital Ex an
d originally the Edmonton Exhibition.[164] Founded in 1879, the Edmonton Exhibit
ion was originally an annual fair and exhibition that eventually adopted a gold
rush theme, becoming Klondike Days in the 1960s.[164] Northlands, the operators,
renamed the festival to "Edmonton's Capital Ex" or "Capital Ex" in 2006.[164] I
n 2012, Edmonton Northlands conducted a poll to rename the festival that resulte
d in changing the name to "K-Days".[164] Activities include carnival rides and f
airways, music, trade shows, and daily fireworks.[165]
Since 1960, the Sourdough Raft Races have also been a popular event.[166] Later
in November, Edmonton plays host to the Canadian Finals Rodeo and Farmfair; this
is a significant event in Canada's rodeo circuit and second only to the Nationa
l Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas in prestige.[167]
The Edmonton International Fringe Festival, held in mid-August, is the largest f
ringe theatre festival in North America and second only to the Edinburgh Fringe
Festival worldwide.[168] In August, Edmonton is also host to the Edmonton Folk M
usic Festival, one of the most successful and popular folk music festivals in No
rth America.[169] Another major summer festival is the Edmonton Heritage Festiva
l, which is an ethnocultural festival that takes place in Hawrelak Park on the H
eritage Day long weekend.[170] Many other festivals exist, such as Interstellar
Rodeo,[171] the Free Will Shakespeare Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival,[172] t
he Whyte Avenue Art Walk, and the Edmonton International Film Festival.
Museums and galleries[edit]
Art Gallery of Alberta.
Buildings on the grounds of the Royal Alberta Museum.
The main building of the Telus World of Science.
There are many museums in Edmonton of various sizes.[173] The largest is the Roy

al Alberta Museum (RAM), which was formerly known as the Provincial Museum of Al
berta until it was renamed in honour of Queen Elizabeth II's 2005 Alberta centen
nial visit. The RAM houses over 10 million objects in its collection and showcas
es the culture and practices of the diverse aboriginal tribes of the region. The
main building, overlooking the river valley west of the city centre in the Glen
ora neighbourhood, was opened in 1967 and is now in the early stages of large-sc
ale redevelopment.[174]
The Telus World of Science is located in the Woodcroft neighbourhood northwest o
f the city centre. It opened in 1984 and has since been expanded several times.
It contains five permanent galleries, one additional gallery for temporary exhib
its, an IMAX theatre, a planetarium, an observatory, and an amateur radio statio
n. The Edmonton Valley Zoo is in the river valley to the southwest of the city c
entre.[175]
The Alberta Aviation Museum, located in a hangar at the City Centre Airport, was
built for the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. Its collection includes b
oth civilian and military aircraft, the largest of which are a Boeing 737 and tw
o CF-101 Voodoos. It also has one of only 3 BOMARC missiles in Canada.
The Prince of Wales Armouries Heritage Centre is also home to the Loyal Edmonton
Regiment Military Museum. The museum is dedicated to preserving the military he
ritage and the sacrifices made by the people of Edmonton and Alberta in general.
The museum features two galleries and several smaller exhibits. The collection
includes historic firearms, uniforms, souvenirs, memorabilia, military accoutrem
ents, as well as a large photographic and archival collection spanning the pre-W
orld War One period to the present. The museum features an exhibit on the role o
f the 49th Battalion, CEF in Canada's Hundred Days Offensive. The Telephone Hist
orical Centre is a telephone museum also located in the Prince of Wales Armourie
s Heritage Centre in central Edmonton. In addition to a collection of artifacts
tracing the history of the telephone, the museum has its own theatre featuring a
brief film led by the robot Xeldon.[176]
The Alberta Railway Museum[177] is located in the rural northeast portion of the
city. It contains a variety of locomotives and railroad cars from different per
iods, and includes a working steam locomotive. Since most of its exhibits are ou
tdoors, it is only open between Victoria Day and Labour Day.
Fort Edmonton Park, Canada's largest living history museum, is located in the ri
ver valley southwest of the city centre. Edmonton's heritage is displayed throug
h historical buildings (many of which are originals moved to the park), costumed
historical interpreters, and authentic artifacts. In total, it covers the regio
n's history from approximately 1795 to 1929 (represented by Fort Edmonton), foll
owed chronologically by 1885, 1905, and 1920 streets, and a recreation of a 1920
s midway. A steam train, streetcars, automobiles and horse-drawn vehicles may be
seen in operation (and utilized by the public) around the park. The John Walter
Museum and Historical Area (c. 1875 to 1901) is on the Canadian Register of His
toric Places.[178] The University of Alberta operates its own internal Museums a
nd Collections service.[179]
The Art Gallery of Alberta (AGA) is the city's largest single gallery. Formerly
housed in an inconspicuous 1970s building downtown, the AGA collection had over
5,000 pieces of art. The former AGA building was demolished in July 2007 to make
way for construction of a new facility designed by Randall Stout. It was estima
ted to cost over $88-million and the amount that Edmonton City Council donated t
owards its construction was met with some controversy. The AGA officially opened
on January 31, 2010.[180] Independent galleries can be found throughout the cit
y, especially along the 124 Street/Jasper Avenue corridor, known as the "gallery
walk".[181]

Music[edit]
Further information: List of musicians from Edmonton
In the city's early days, music was performed in churches and community halls. E
dmonton has a history of opera and classical music performance; both genres hist
orically have been supported by a variety of clubs and associations. Edmonton's
first major radio station, CKUA, began broadcasting music in 1927.[182] The city
is a centre for music instruction; the University of Alberta began its music de
partment in 1945, and MacEwan University opened a jazz and musical theatre progr
am in 1980. Festivals of jazz, folk, and classical music are popular entertainme
nt events in the city.[183]
The Edmonton Symphony Orchestra has existed under various incarnations since 191
3. In 1952, the Edmonton Philharmonic and the Edmonton Pops orchestras amalgamat
ed to form the 60-member modern version. The Orchestra performs at the Francis W
inspear Centre for Music.[184]
The city also has a vibrant popular music scene, across genres including hip-hop
, reggae, R&B, rock, pop, metal, punk, country and electronica. Notable past and
present local musicians include Robert Goulet,[185] Tommy Banks, Tim Feehan, Ca
dence Weapon, Kreesha Turner, The Smalls, SNFU, Social Code, Stereos, Ten Second
Epic, Tupelo Honey, Mac DeMarco, Shout Out Out Out Out, Purity Ring, The Wet Se
crets, and numerous others.[186]
Nightlife[edit]
There are several key areas of nightlife in the city of Edmonton. The most popul
ar is the Whyte Avenue (82 Avenue) strip, located between 109 Street and 99 Stre
et; it has the highest number of heritage buildings in Edmonton,[187] and the ni
ghtlife (bars, clubs, and restaurants) are located throughout, but mostly west o
f Gateway Boulevard (103 Street). Once the heart of the town of Strathcona (anne
xed by Edmonton on February 1, 1912), it fell into disrepair during the middle o
f the 20th century.[188] Beginning in the 1970s, a coordinated effort to revive
the area through the establishment of a business revitalization zone has produce
d an area rich with restored historical buildings and pleasant streetscapes.[86]
Its proximity to the University of Alberta has led to a high number of establis
hments ranging from restaurants and pubs to trendy clubs while hosting a wide va
riety of retail and specialty shops during the day. This area also contains two
independent movie theatres: the Garneau and Princess theatres, as well as severa
l live theatre, music, and comedy venues.[189]
Downtown Edmonton has undergone a continual process of renewal and growth since
the mid-1990s. Many buildings were demolished during the oil boom, starting in t
he 1960s and continuing into the 1980s, to make way for office towers. As such,
there have always been numerous pub-type establishments, as well as many hotel l
ounges and restaurants. The past decade has seen a strong resurgence in more mai
nstream venues. Edmonton also has a high demand for pub crawl tours in the city.
Various clubs are also to be found along Edmonton's main street, Jasper Avenue.
The Edmonton City Centre mall also houses an Empire Theatres movie theatre, fea
turing nine screens. The nonprofit Metro Cinema[190] shows a variety of alternat
ive or otherwise unreleased films every week.
West Edmonton Mall holds several after-hour establishments in addition to its ma
ny stores and attractions. Bourbon Street has numerous eating establishments; cl
ubs and casinos can also be found within the complex. Scotiabank Theatre (former
ly known as Silver City), at the west end of the mall, is a theatre that feature
s twelve screens and an IMAX.[19]

Government[edit]
Matthew McCauley, first mayor of Edmonton
In 1892 Edmonton was incorporated as a town. The first mayor was Matthew McCaule
y, who established the first school board in Edmonton and Board of Trade (later
Chamber of Commerce) and a municipal police service.[198] Due to mayor McCauley'
s good relationship with the federal Liberals this helped Edmonton to maintain p
olitical prominence over Strathcona, a rival settlement on the south bank of the
North Saskatchewan River.[198] Edmonton was incorporated as a city in 1904 and
became the capital of Alberta in 1905.
Unions and radical organizations such as the Industrial Workers of the World str
uggled for progressive social change through the early years, with the first ref
ormer, James East, being elected in 1912, followed by the first official Labour
alderman, James Kinney, the following year. Many thousands of workers participat
ed in the Edmonton general strike of 1919 and a strong block of Labour represent
atives were on council after the next election: James Kinney, James East, Sam Mc
Coppen, Joe Clarke and Rice Sheppard.
Labour representation on city council would become a near-majority in 1929, and,
during the Great Depression, a full majority from 1932 to 1934.[199] Jan Reimer
became the city's first female mayor, when she was elected in 1989.[200]

Municipal politics[edit]
Edmonton is represented by a mayor and 12 councillors one for each of the 12 wards
. On July 22, 2009 City Council adopted an electoral system that divides Edmonto
n into 12 wards, instead of the previous two for each of six wards. This system
came into effect with the following election in October 2010.[201] The most rece
nt election was held in October 2013, and elected members to a four-year term.
Provincial politics[edit]

ght.
Provincial Legislature of Alberta
Edmonton is the capital of the province of Alberta and holds all main provincial
areas of government such as the Provincial Legislature of Alberta. The Edmonton
region is represented by 20 MLAs, one for each provincial electoral district. M
any of these boundaries have been changed, adjusted and renamed while the city h
as grown.[202] In the current 29th Alberta Legislature all of Edmonton's distric
ts are represented by members from the governing Alberta New Democratic Party.[2
03] Six of these members are cabinet ministers while one of them is also the Pre

mier of Alberta, Rachel Notley.[204]


Crime[edit]
The city's police force, the Edmonton Police Service, was founded in 1892, and h
ad approximately 1,400 officers in 2012.[205] Edmonton experienced a decrease in
crime in the 1990s, an increase in the early 2000s,[206] and another downturn a
t the end of the decade.
The Edmonton census metropolitan area (CMA) had a crime severity index of 84.5 i
n 2013, which is higher the national average of 68.7.[207] Its crime severity in
dex was the fifth-highest among CMAs in Canada behind Regina, Saskatoon, Kelowna
and Vancouver.[207] Edmonton had the fourth-most homicides in 2013 at 27.[207]
Military[edit]
Edmonton is home to 1 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group (1 CMBG), the Regular Fo
rce army brigade group of Land Force Western Area of the Canadian Army. Units in
1 CMBG include Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians), 1 Combat Engineer Reg
iment, two of the three regular force battalions of Princess Patricia's Canadian
Light Infantry, and various headquarters, service, and support elements. Althou
gh not part of 1 CMBG, 408 Tactical Helicopter Squadron and 1 Field Ambulance ar
e located with the brigade group. All of these units are located at Lancaster Pa
rk, immediately north of the city. From 1943, as CFB Namao (now CFB Edmonton/Edm
onton Garrison), it was a major air force base.[208] In 1996, all fixed-wing avi
ation units were transferred to CFB Cold Lake.
The Canadian Airborne Training Centre had been located in the city in the 1980s.
The move of 1 CMBG and component units from Calgary occurred in 1996 in what wa
s described as a cost-saving measure.[209] The brigade had existed in Calgary si
nce the 1950s, and Lord Strathcona's Horse had traditionally been a Calgary garr
ison unit dating back to before World War I.
Edmonton also has a large army reserve element from 41 Canadian Brigade Group (4
1 CBG), including The Loyal Edmonton Regiment (4th Battalion, Princess Patricia'
s Canadian Light Infantry); 41 Combat Engineer Regiment; HQ Battery, 20th Field
Artillery Regiment; and B Squadron of The South Alberta Light Horse, one of Albe
rta's oldest army reserve units. Despite being far from Canada's coasts, Edmonto
n is also the home of HMCS Nonsuch,[210] a naval reserve division. There are num
erous cadet corps[211] of the different elements (naval, army and air force) wit
hin Edmonton as well.
Infrastructure[edit]
Transportation[edit]
Main article: Transportation in Edmonton
Aviation[edit]
Edmonton International Airport's South Terminal.
See also: List of airports in the Edmonton Capital Region
Edmonton is a major air transportation gateway to northern Alberta and northern
Canada.[26] The Edmonton International Airport (EIA) is the main airport serving
the city.
The EIA provides passenger service to destinations in the United States, Europe,
Mexico, and the Caribbean. The EIA is located within Leduc County, adjacent to
the City of Leduc and the Nisku Industrial Business Park. With direct air distan
ces from Edmonton to places such as London in Europe being shorter than to other
main airports in western North America,[212] Edmonton Airports is working to es
tablish a major container shipping hub called Port Alberta.[213]
Rail[edit]
Edmonton serves as a major transportation hub for Canadian National Railway, who

se North American operations management centre is located at their Edmonton offi


ces. It is also tied into the Canadian Pacific Railway network, which provides s
ervice from Calgary to the south and extends northeast of Edmonton to serve Albe
rta's Industrial Heartland.
Inter-city rail passenger rail service is provided by Via Rail's premier train,
the Canadian, as it travels between Vancouver, British Columbia, and Toronto, On
tario. Passenger trains stop at the Edmonton railway station three days a week i
n both directions. The train connects Edmonton to multiple stops in British Colu
mbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario.[214]
Public transit[edit]
Bay/Enterprise Square LRT station
The Edmonton Transit System (ETS) is the city's public transit agency, operating
the Edmonton Light Rail Transit (LRT) line as well as a fleet of buses.[215] Ap
proximately one-third of people in the Edmonton Capital Region (mostly from Edmo
nton proper) use ETS per day (354,440[216][217] out of 1,034,945[218]). There ar
e approximately 280,000 ETS bus riders on average per day.[216]
From the 1990s to early 2009, Edmonton was one of two cities in Canada still ope
rating trolley buses, along with Vancouver. On June 18, 2008, City Council decid
ed to abandon the Edmonton trolley bus system[219] and the last trolley bus ran
on May 2, 2009.[220][221]
Scheduled LRT service began on April 23, 1978, with five extensions of the singl
e line completed since.[222] The original Edmonton line is considered to be the
first "modern" light rail line in North America (i.e., built from scratch, rathe
r than being an upgrade of an old system). It introduced the use of German-desig
ned rolling stock that subsequently became the standard light rail vehicle of th
e United States.[222] The Edmonton "proof-of-payment" fare collection system ado
pted in 1980
modelled after European ticket systems
became the North American tr
ansit industry's preferred approach for subsequent light rail projects.[223] The
four-year South LRT extension was opened in full on April 24, 2010, which sees
trains travelling to Century Park[224] (located at 23 Avenue and 111 Street), ma
king stops at South Campus and Southgate Centre along the way.[224] A line to th
e Northern Alberta Institute of Technology in north-central Edmonton using the s
ame high floor technology of the existing system opened September 6, 2015. Edmon
ton is also expanding the LRT to Mill Woods (the southeast) by 2020 and to Lewis
Farms (the west) thereafter using low floor technology.
Roads[edit]
Stony Plain Road looking towards downtown
A largely gridded system forms most of Edmonton's street and road network.[225]
The address system is mostly numbered, with streets running south to north and a
venues running east to west. In built-up areas built since the 1950s, local stre
ets and major roadways generally do not conform to the grid system. Major roadwa
ys include Kingsway, Yellowhead Trail (Highway 16), Whitemud Drive and Anthony H
enday Drive, and the city is connected to other communities elsewhere in Alberta
, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan via the Yellowhead Highway to the west and
east and the Queen Elizabeth II Highway (Alberta Highway 2) to the south.[226][2
27]
Trail system[edit]
There is an extensive multi-use trail system for bicycles and pedestrians throug
hout the city; however, most of this is within the river valley parkland system.
[228]
Electricity and water[edit]

EPCOR's former Rossdale Power Plant.


Edmonton's first power company established itself in 1891 and installed streetli
ghts along the city's main avenue, Jasper Avenue. The power company was bought b
y the Town of Edmonton in 1902 and remains under municipal ownership today as EP
COR. Also in charge of water treatment, in 2002 EPCOR installed the world's larg
est ultraviolet (UV) water treatment or ultraviolet disinfection system at its E
.L. Smith Water Treatment Plant.[229]
Waste disposal[edit]
The Edmonton Composting Facility, the largest of its type in the world, is also
the largest stainless steel building in North America.[230] By 2016, the city an
ticipates that it will divert more than 90 percent of the city's household waste
from the landfills.[230][231] Among the innovative uses for the city's waste in
cludes a Christmas tree recycling program. The trees are collected each January
and put through a woodchipper; this material is used as an addition to the compo
sting process. In addition, the wood chips absorb much of the odour produced by
the compost by providing a biofilter element to trap odour causing gaseous resul
ts of the process.[232]
Together, the Waste Management Centre and Wastewater Treatment plant are known a
s the Edmonton Waste Management Centre of Excellence. Research partners include
the University of Alberta, the Alberta Research Council, the Northern Alberta In
stitute of Technology, and Olds College.[233]
Health care[edit]
University Hospital Complex at the University of Alberta.
There are four main hospitals serving Edmonton: University of Alberta Hospital,
Royal Alexandra Hospital, Misericordia Community Hospital, and Grey Nuns Communi
ty Hospital.[234] Other area hospitals include Sturgeon Community Hospital in St
. Albert, Leduc Community Hospital in Leduc, Westview Health Centre in Stony Pla
in, and Fort Saskatchewan Community Hospital in Fort Saskatchewan. Dedicated psy
chiatric care is provided at the Alberta Hospital. The Northeast Community Healt
h Centre offers a 24-hour emergency room with no inpatient ward services. The Un
iversity of Alberta Hospital is the centre of a larger complex of hospitals and
clinics located adjacent to the university campus which comprises the Stollery C
hildren's Hospital, Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute, Cross Cancer Institute,
Zeidler Gastrointestinal Health Centre, Ledcor Clinical Training Centre, and Ed
monton Clinic. Several health research institutes, including the Heritage Medica
l Research Centre, Medical Sciences Building, Katz Group Centre for Pharmacy and
Health Research, and Li Ka Shing Centre for Health Research Innovation, are als
o located at this site. A similar set-up is also evident at the Royal Alexandra
Hospital, which is connected to the Lois Hole Hospital for Women and Orthopaedic
Surgery Centre. All hospitals are under the administration of Alberta Health Se
rvices, although Misericordia and Grey Nuns are run separately by Covenant Healt
h.[235]
Education[edit]
Entryway to MacEwan University's downtown campus.
Secondary[edit]
Edmonton has three publicly funded school boards (districts) that provide kinder
garten and grades 1 12. The vast majority of students attend schools in the two la
rge English language boards: Edmonton Public Schools, and the separate Edmonton
Catholic School District.[236] Also, since 1994, the Francophone minority commun
ity has had their own school board based in Edmonton, the Greater North Central
Francophone Education Region No. 2, which includes surrounding communities. The
city also has a number of public charter schools that are independent of any boa
rd. All three school boards and public charter schools are funded through provin

cial grants and property taxes.


Some private schools exist as well, including Edmonton Academy,[237] Progressive
Academy[238] and Tempo School.[239] The Edmonton Society for Christian Educatio
n[240] and Millwoods Christian School (not part of the former) used to be privat
e schools; however, both have become part of Edmonton Public Schools as alternat
ive programs.[241][242]
Both the Edmonton Public Schools and the Edmonton Catholic School District provi
de support and resources for those wishing to homeschool their children.[243]
Post-secondary[edit]
Those post-secondary institutions based in Edmonton that are publicly funded inc
lude Concordia University College of Alberta, MacEwan University, The King's Uni
versity College, NorQuest College, the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology
(NAIT) and the University of Alberta (U of A).[244] The publicly funded Athabasc
a University and the University of Lethbridge[244] also have campuses in Edmonto
n.[245][246]
The U of A is a board-governed institution[247] that has an annual revenue of ov
er one billion dollars.[248] In 2011/12, the university had over 38,000 students
enrolled within nearly 400 undergraduate, graduate and professional programs, a
s well as over 15,000 students enrolled in its faculty of extension.[249] The U
of A is also home to the second-largest research library system in Canada.[250]
In 2010/11, MacEwan University had a total student population of over 43,000 stu
dents, including nearly 14,000 full-time students, enrolled in programs offering
bachelor's degrees, university transfers, diplomas and certificates.[251] NAIT
has an approximate total of 61,200 students enrolled in more than 200 programs[2
52] while NorQuest College has approximately 8,500 students enrolled in various
full-time, part-time and continuing education programs.[253]
Other post-secondary institutions within Edmonton include Taylor University Coll
ege and Seminary[254] and Yellowhead Tribal College, a First Nations college.[25

Media[edit]
Main article: Media in Edmonton
Edmonton has seven local broadcast television stations shown on basic cable TV o
r over-the-air, with the oldest broadcasters in the city being CTV (1961) and CB
C (1954).[256] Most of Edmonton's conventional television stations have made the
switch to over-the-air digital broadcasting. The cable television providers in
Edmonton are Telus (for IPTV) and Shaw Cable. Twenty-one FM and eight AM radio s
tations are based in Edmonton.[257]
Edmonton has two large-circulation daily newspapers, the Edmonton Journal and th
e Edmonton Sun. The Journal, established in 1903 and owned by the Postmedia Netw
ork, has a daily circulation of 112,000, while the Sun, established in 1978 and
owned by Sun Media, has a circulation of 55,000.[258] The Journal no longer publ
ishes a Sunday edition as of July 2012.[259]
There is one free daily newspaper in the city, Metro.[260] The magazine Vue Week

Edmonton Listeni/'?dm?nt?n/ is the capital of Alberta, Canada. Edmonton is on th
e North Saskatchewan River and is the centre of the Edmonton Capital Region, whi
ch is surrounded by Alberta's central region.
The city had a population of 877,926 in the 2014 census,[11] is Alberta's second
-largest city and Canada's fifth-largest municipality. This population represent
s 66 percent of the total 2014 population of 1,328,300[12] within the Edmonton c

ensus metropolitan area (CMA), Canada's fifth-largest CMA by population. Edmonto


n is the most northern North American city with a metropolitan population over o
ne million. A resident of Edmonton is known as an Edmontonian.[13]
Edmonton's historic growth has been facilitated through the absorption of five a
djacent urban municipalities (Strathcona, North Edmonton, West Edmonton, Beverly
and Jasper Place)[14] and a series of annexations ending in 1982.[15] Edmonton
serves as the northern anchor of the Calgary Edmonton Corridor.[16] Known as the "
Gateway to the North",[17] the city is a staging point for large-scale oil sands
projects occurring in northern Alberta and large-scale diamond mining operation
s in the Northwest Territories.[18]
Edmonton is a cultural, governmental and educational centre. It hosts a year-rou
nd slate of festivals, reflected in the nickname "Canada's Festival City".[1] It
is home to North America's largest mall, West Edmonton Mall (the world's larges
t mall from 1981 until 2004),[19] and Fort Edmonton Park, Canada's largest livin
g history museum.[20]

Edmonton Listeni/'?dm?nt?n/ is the capital of Alberta, Canada. Edmonton is on th
e North Saskatchewan River and is the centre of the Edmonton Capital Region, whi
ch is surrounded by Alberta's central region.
The city had a population of 877,926 in the 2014 census,[11] is Alberta's second
-largest city and Canada's fifth-largest municipality. This population represent
s 66 percent of the total 2014 population of 1,328,300[12] within the Edmonton c
ensus metropolitan area (CMA), Canada's fifth-largest CMA by population. Edmonto
n is the most northern North American city with a metropolitan population over o
ne million. A resident of Edmonton is known as an Edmontonian.[13]
Edmonton's historic growth has been facilitated through the absorption of five a
djacent urban municipalities (Strathcona, North Edmonton, West Edmonton, Beverly
and Jasper Place)[14] and a series of annexations ending in 1982.[15] Edmonton
serves as the northern anchor of the Calgary Edmonton Corridor.[16] Known as the "
Gateway to the North",[17] the city is a staging point for large-scale oil sands
projects occurring in northern Alberta and large-scale diamond mining operation
s in the Northwest Territories.[18]
Edmonton is a cultural, governmental and educational centre. It hosts a year-rou

nd slate of festivals, reflected in the nickname "Canada's Festival City".[1] It


is home to North America's largest mall, West Edmonton Mall (the world's larges
t mall from 1981 until 2004),[19] and Fort Edmonton Park, Canada's largest livin
g history museum.[20]

History[edit]
Further information: History of Edmonton and Timeline of Edmonton history
The earliest known inhabitants settled in the area that is now Edmonton around 3
,000 BC and perhaps as early as 12,000 BC, when an ice-free corridor opened up a
s the last glacial period ended and timber, water, and wildlife became available
in the region.[21]
In 1754, Anthony Henday, an explorer working for the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC),
may have been the first European to enter the Edmonton area.[22] His expedition
s across the Canadian Prairies were mainly to seek contact with the aboriginal p
opulation for the purpose of establishing the fur trade, as competition was fier
ce between the Hudson's Bay Company and the North West Company. By 1795, Fort Ed

monton was established on the north bank of the river, as a major trading post f
or the Hudson's Bay Company.[23] The name of the new fort was suggested by John
Peter Pruden after Edmonton, London, the home town of both the HBC deputy govern
or Sir James Winter Lake, and Pruden.
The coming of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) to southern Alberta in 1885 hel
ped the Edmonton economy, and the 1891 building of the Calgary and Edmonton (C&E
) Railway resulted in the emergence of a railway townsite (South Edmonton/Strath
cona) on the south side of the river, across from Edmonton. The arrival of the C
PR and the C&E Railway facilitated the arrival of settlers and entrepreneurs fro
m eastern Canada, Britain and continental Europe, U.S. and other parts of the wo
rld. The fertile soil and cheap land in the Edmonton area helped attract settler
s, further establishing Edmonton as a major regional commercial and agricultural
centre. Some people participating in the Klondike Gold Rush passed through Sout
h Edmonton/Strathcona in 1897. Strathcona was the northernmost railway point in
North America, but travel to the Klondike was still very difficult for the "Klon
dikers", and a majority of them took a steamship north to the Yukon from Vancouv
er.[24]
Jasper Avenue in Edmonton, ca.1907
Incorporated as a town in 1892 with a population of 700 and then as a city in 19
04 with a population of 8,350,[25] Edmonton became the capital of Alberta when t
he province was formed a year later, on September 1, 1905.[26] In November 1905,
the Canadian Northern Railway (CNR) arrived in Edmonton, accelerating growth.[2
7]
During the early 1900s, Edmonton grew very rapidly, causing speculation in real
estate. In 1912, Edmonton amalgamated with the City of Strathcona, south of the
North Saskatchewan River; as a result, the city extended south of the North Sask
atchewan River for the first time.[28]
Just prior to World War I, the boom ended, and the city's population declined sh
arply from more than 72,000 in 1914 to less than 54,000 only two years later.[29
] Many impoverished families moved to subsistence farms outside the city and oth
ers fled to greener pastures in other provinces.[30] Recruitment to the Canadian
army during the war also contributed to the drop in population.[31] Afterwards,
the city slowly recovered in population and economy during the 1920s and 1930s
and took off again during and after World War II.
The Edmonton City Centre Airport opened in 1929,[32] becoming the first licensed
airfield in Canada.[33] Originally named Blatchford Field in honour of former m
ayor Kenny Blatchford, pioneering aviators such as Wilfrid R. "Wop" May and Max
Ward used Blatchford Field as a major base for the distribution of mail, food, a
nd medicine to Northern Canada; hence Edmonton's emergence as the "Gateway to th
e North". World War II saw Edmonton becoming a major base for the construction o
f the Alaska Highway and the Northwest Staging Route.[34]
Geography[edit]
Edmonton is located on the North Saskatchewan River, and sits at an elevation of
671 metres (2,201 ft).[26] Edmonton is the most northerly city in North America
with a metropolitan population of over one million. It is at the same latitude
as Hamburg (Germany), Dublin (Ireland), Manchester (United Kingdom), and Magnito
gorsk (Russia). North as it is, it is south of the geographic centre of Alberta,
which is located near the Hamlet of Fort Assiniboine.[35] The terrain in and ar
ound Edmonton is generally flat to gently rolling, with ravines and deep river v
alleys, such as the North Saskatchewan River valley.[36] The Canadian Rockies ar
e located about 220 km (140 mi) to the southwest.
The North Saskatchewan River originates at the Columbia Icefield in Jasper Natio

nal Park and bisects the city. Before the construction of two reservoirs near th
e mountains, it would sometimes flood Edmonton's river valley, most notably in t
he North Saskatchewan River flood of 1915. It empties via the Saskatchewan River
, Lake Winnipeg, and the Nelson River into Hudson Bay.[37] It runs from the sout
hwest to the northeast and is fed by numerous creeks throughout the city, such a
s Mill Creek, Whitemud Creek and Blackmud Creek; this creates numerous ravines,
some of which are used for urban parkland.[38] Edmonton is situated at the bound
ary between prairie to the south and boreal forest to the north, in a transition
al area known as aspen parkland. However, the aspen woods and forests in and aro
und Edmonton have long since been reduced by farming and other human activities,
such as oil and natural gas exploration.[39]
Climate[edit]
Edmonton has a humid continental climate (Kppen climate classification Dfb)[40] w
ith relatively low precipitation, and falls into the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 4
a.[41]
The city has milder winters than either Regina[42] or Winnipeg,[43] both further
south of Edmonton in latitude. Its average daily temperatures range from a low
of -10.4 C (13.3 F) in January to a summer peak of 17.7 C (63.9 F) in July.[44] With
average maximum of 23.1 C (73.6 F) in July, and minimum of -14.8 C (5.4 F) in Janua
ry.[45] Annually, temperatures can exceed 30 C (86 F) for an average of four to fi
ve days anytime from late April to mid-September and fall below -20 C (-4 F) for a
n average of 28 days. The highest temperature recorded within the City of Edmont
on was 37.2 C (99.0 F), on June 29, 1937. [46] On July 2, 2013, a record high humi
dex of 43 C (109.4 F) was recorded, due to an unusually humid day with an air temp
erature of 33.9 C (93.0 F) and a record high dewpoint of 23 C (73.4 F). [47][48] The
lowest overall temperature ever recorded in Edmonton was -49.4 C (-56.9 F), on Ja
nuary 19 and 21, 1886.[49]
Typically, summer lasts from late June until early September, and the humidity i
s seldom uncomfortably high. Winter lasts from November to March, and varies gre
atly in length and severity. Spring and autumn are both short and highly variabl
e. Edmonton's growing season is from May 7 to September 23;[50] Edmonton average
s 140 frost free days a year.[51] At the summer solstice, Edmonton receives seve
nteen hours and three minutes of daylight, with an hour and forty-six minutes of
civil twilight.[52] On average Edmonton receives 2,299 hours of bright sunshine
[53] per year and is one of Canada's sunniest cities.[44]
The summer of 2006 was a particularly warm one for Edmonton, as temperatures rea
ched 29 C (84 F) or higher more than 20 times during the year, from as early as mi
d-May and again in early September. The winter of 2011 12 was particularly warm; f
rom December 22, 2011, till March 20, 2012, Edmonton saw temperatures at or abov
e 0.0 C (32.00 F) 53 times at the City Centre Airport.[54][55][56][57]
Edmonton has a fairly dry climate. On average, it receives 476.9 millimetres (18
.78 in) of precipitation, of which 365.7 millimetres (14.40 in) is rain and 111.
2 millimetres (4.38 in) is the melt from 123.5 centimetres (48.6 in) of snowfall
per annum.[44] Precipitation is heaviest in the late spring, summer, and early
autumn. The wettest month is July, while the driest months are February, March,
October, and November.[44] In July, the mean precipitation is 91.7 mm (3.61 in).
[44] Dry spells are not uncommon and may occur at any time of the year. Extremes
do occur, such as the 114 mm (4.49 in) of rainfall that fell on July 31, 1953.[
44] Summer thunderstorms can be frequent and occasionally severe enough to produ
ce large hail, damaging winds, funnel clouds, and even tornadoes. The F4 tornado
that struck Edmonton on July 31, 1987, killing 27, was unusual in many respects
, including severity, duration, damage, and casualties.[citation needed] It is c
ommonly referred to as Black Friday due both to its aberrant characteristics and
the emotional shock it generated.[58] Then-mayor Laurence Decore cited the comm
unity's response to the tornado as evidence that Edmonton was a "city of champio

ns," which later became an unofficial slogan of the city.[1][59]


A massive cluster of thunderstorms occurred on July 11, 2004, with large hail an
d over 100 mm (4 in) of rain reported within the space of an hour in many places
.[60] This "1-in-200 year event" flooded major intersections and underpasses and
damaged both residential and commercial properties. The storm caused extensive
damage to West Edmonton Mall; a small glass section of the roof collapsed under
the weight of the rainwater, causing water to drain onto the mall's indoor ice r
ink. As a result, the mall was forced to undergo an evacuation as a precautionar
y measure.[61]

Edmonton's river valley constitutes the longest stretch of connected urban parkl
and in North America, and Edmonton has the highest amount of parkland per capita
of any Canadian city; the river valley is 22 times larger than New York City's
Central Park.[63] The river valley is home to various parks ranging from fully s
erviced urban parks to campsite-like facilities with few amenities. This main "R
ibbon of Green" is supplemented by numerous neighbourhood parks located througho
ut the city, to give a total of 111 km2 (27,400 acres) of parkland.[63] Within t
he 7,400 ha (18,000 acres), 25 km (16 mi)-long river valley park system, there a
re 11 lakes, 14 ravines, and 22 major parks, and most of the city has accessible
bike and walking trail connections.[64] These trails are also part of the 235 k
m (146 mi) Waskahegan walking trail. The City of Edmonton has named five parks i
n its River Valley Parks System in honour of each of "The Famous Five".[65]
Edmonton's streets and parklands also contain one of the largest remaining conce
ntrations of healthy American elm trees in the world, unaffected by Dutch elm di
sease, which has wiped out vast numbers of such trees in eastern North America.
Jack pine, lodgepole pine, white spruce, white birch, aspen, mountain ash, Amur
maple, Russian olive, green ash, basswood, various poplars and willows, flowerin
g crabapple, Mayday tree and Manitoba maple are also abundant; bur oak, silver m
aple, hawthorn and Ohio buckeye are increasingly popular. Other introduced tree
species include white ash, blue spruce, Norway maple, red oak, sugar maple, comm
on horse-chestnut, McIntosh apple, and Evans cherry.[66] Three walnut species
bu
tternut, Manchurian walnut, and black walnut have survived in Edmonton.[67]
Several golf courses, both public and private, are also located in the river val
ley; the long summer daylight hours of this northern city provide for extended p
lay from early morning well into the evening.[68] Golf courses and the park syst
em become a winter recreation area during this season, and cross-country skiing
and skating are popular during the long winter. Four downhill ski slopes are loc
ated in the river valley as well, two within the city and two immediately outsid
e.[69]
A variety of volunteer opportunities exist for citizens to participate in the st
ewardship of Edmonton's parkland and river valley. Volunteer programs include Ri
ver Valley Clean-up, Root for Trees, and Partner in Parks.[70] River Valley Clea
n-up engages volunteers to pick up hundreds of bags of litter each year.
Neighbourhoods[edit]

Edmonton is divided into 375 neighbourhoods[71] within 7 geographic sectors
a ma
ture area sector, which includes neighbourhoods that were essentially built out
prior to 1970,[72] and 6 surrounding suburban sectors.[73]
Edmonton's Downtown is located within the city's mature area or inner city.[73]
It and the surrounding Boyle Street, Central McDougall, Cloverdale, Garneau, McC
auley, Oliver, Queen Mary Park, Riverdale, Rossdale, Strathcona and University o
f Alberta form Edmonton's Central Core.[72] Oliver and Garneau are the city's mo
st populated and most densely populated neighbourhoods respectively. The mature
area sector also contains the five former urban municipalities annexed by the ci
ty over its history Beverly, Jasper Place, North Edmonton, Strathcona and West E
dmonton (Calder).[15][73]
Larger residential areas within Edmonton's six suburban sectors,[73] each compri
sing multiple neighbourhoods,[74] include: Heritage Valley, Kaskitayo, Riverbend
, Terwillegar Heights and Windermere (southwest sector); The Grange, Lewis Farms
and West Jasper Place (west sector); Big Lake (northwest sector); Castle Downs,
Lake District and The Palisades (north sector); Casselman-Steele Heights, Clare
view, Hermitage and Pilot Sound (northeast sector); and Ellerslie, The Meadows,
Mill Woods and Southeast Edmonton (southeast sector).[75] Mill Woods is divided
into a town centre community (Mill Woods Town Centre)[76] and eight surrounding
communities[77] Burnewood, Knottwood, Lakewood, Millbourne, Millhurst, Ridgewood
, Southwood, and Woodvale[78][79]
each having between two to four neighbourhoods
.[74]
Several transit-oriented developments (TOD) have begun to appear along the LRT l
ine at Clareview, with future developments planned at Belvedere (part of the Old
Town Fort Road Redevelopment Project).[80] Another TOD, called Century Park,[81
] is being constructed at the site of what was once Heritage Mall, at the southe
rn end of the LRT line. Century Park will eventually house up to 5,000 residents
.[82]
The Edmonton City Centre Airport is planned to be redeveloped into a sustainable
community of 30,000 people comprising a transit-oriented mixed use town centre,
townhouses, low, medium and high rise apartments, neighbourhood retail and serv
ice uses, and a major park.[83]
Edmonton has four major industrial districts the Northwest Industrial District,
the Northeast Industrial District, the Southeast Industrial District and the eme
rging Edmonton Energy and Technology Park,[84] which is part of Alberta's Indust
rial Heartland.[85] The northwest, northeast and southeast districts each have s
maller industrial areas and neighbourhoods within them.[74][84]

Metropolitan area[edit]
Main article: Edmonton Capital Region
Edmonton is at the centre of Canada's sixth largest census metropolitan area (CM
A),[5] which includes Edmonton and 34 other municipalities in the surrounding ar
ea.[87] Larger urban communities include Sherwood Park (an urban service area wi
thin Strathcona County), the cities of St. Albert, Leduc, Spruce Grove and Fort
Saskatchewan, and the towns of Stony Plain, Beaumont, Morinville, and Devon.[88]
Major employment areas outside of Edmonton but within the CMA include the Nisku
Industrial Business Park and the Edmonton International Airport (including a pl

anned inland port logistics support facility in support of the Port Alberta init
iative)[89] in Leduc County, the Acheson Industrial Area in Parkland County, Ref
inery Row in Strathcona County and Alberta's Industrial Heartland[90] within por
tions of Fort Saskatchewan, Strathcona County and Sturgeon County.[91] Alberta's
Industrial Heartland also extends beyond the CMA's northeastern boundary[16] in
to a portion of Lamont County.[91]
The individual economic development interests and costs of service delivery in c
ertain municipalities within the region has led to intermunicipal competition, s
trained intermunicipal relationships and overall fragmentation of the region. Al
though several attempts have been made by the City of Edmonton to absorb surroun
ding municipalities[92] or annex portions of its neighbours,[93] the city has no
t absorbed another municipality since the Town of Jasper Place joined Edmonton o
n August 17, 1964[94] and the city has not annexed land from any of its neighbou
rs since January 1, 1982.[95] After years of mounting pressure in the early 21st
century, the Province of Alberta formed the Capital Region Board (CRB) on April
15, 2008.[96] The CRB consists of 24 member municipalities
22 of which are with
in the Edmonton CMA and two of which are outside the CMA. The City of Edmonton s
ubsequently announced in March 2013 its intent to annex 156 square kilometers of
land (including the Edmonton International Airport) from Leduc County.[97]

Main article: Demographics of Edmonton
The population of the City of Edmonton according to its 2014 municipal census is
877,926, a 7.4% change from its 2012 municipal census population of 817,498.[7]
The 2012 census captured more detailed demographic information on residents, in
cluding age and gender, marital status, employment status, length of residency,
prior residence, employment transportation mode, citizenship and school residenc
y, as well as dwellings and properties, including ownership, structure and statu
s.[119] Per its municipal census policy,[120] the city's next municipal census i

ation density of 1,186.8/km2 (3,073.8/sq mi) in 2011.[4] The census also reporte
d that 50.2 percent of the population (407,325) was female while 49.8 percent (4
04,875) was male. The average age of the city's population was 36.0 years while
there was an average 2.5 people per household.[122]
The Edmonton census metropolitan area (CMA) has the sixth-greatest population of
CMAs in Canada and the second-greatest in Alberta, but has the largest land are
a in Canada. It had a population of 1,159,869 in the 2011 Census compared to its
2006 population of 1,034,945. Its five-year population change of 12.1 percent w
as second only to the Calgary CMA between 2006 and 2011. With a land area of 9,4
26.73 km2 (3,639.68 sq mi), the Edmonton CMA had a population density of 123.0/k

Edmonton is the major economic centre for northern and central Alberta and a maj
or centre for the oil and gas industry. As of 2014, the estimated value of major
projects within the Edmonton Capital Region was $57.8-billion, of which $34.4-b

illion are within the oil and gas, oil sands and pipeline sectors.[138]

Edmonton traditionally has been a hub for Albertan petrochemical industries, ear
ning it the nickname "Oil Capital of Canada" in the 1940s.[139] Supply and servi
ce industries drive the energy extraction engine, while research develops new te
chnologies and supports expanded value-added processing of Alberta's massive oil
, gas, and oil sands reserves. These are reported to be the second-largest in th
e world, after Saudi Arabia.[140]

Much of the growth in technology sectors is due to Edmonton's reputation as one
of Canada s premier research and education centres. Research initiatives are ancho
red by educational institutions such as the University of Alberta (U of A) as we
ll as government initiatives underway at the Alberta Research Council and Edmont
on Research Park. The U of A campus is home to the National Institute for Nanote
chnology.[141]
During the 1970s and 1980s, Edmonton became a major financial centre, with both
regional offices of Canada's major banks and locally based institutions opening.
[142] However, the turmoil of the late-1980s economy radically changed the situa
tion. Locally based operations such as Principal Trust and Canadian Commercial B
ank[143] would fail, and some regional offices were moved to other cities. The 1
990s saw a solidification of the economy, and Edmonton is now home to Canadian W
estern Bank, the only publicly traded Schedule I chartered bank headquarters wes
t of Toronto.[144] Other major financial centres include ATB Financial, Servus C
redit Union (formerly Capital City Savings), TD Canada Trust and Manulife Financ
ial.[145]
Edmonton has been the birthplace of several companies that have grown to interna
tional stature.[146] The local retail market has also seen the creation of many
successful store concepts, such as The Brick, Katz Group, AutoCanada, Boston Piz
za, Pizza 73, Liquor Stores GP (which includes Liquor Depot, Liquor Barn, OK Liq
uor, and Grapes & Grains), Planet Organic, Shaw Communications, Empire Design, R
unning Room, Booster Juice, Earl's, Fountain Tire and XS Cargo.[147]
Edmonton's geographical location has made it an ideal spot for distribution and
logistics. CN Rail's North American operational facility is located in the city,
as well as a major intermodal facility that handles all incoming freight from t
he port of Prince Rupert in British Columbia.[148]
Retail[edit]
West Edmonton Mall.
Edmonton is home to several shopping malls, including Canada's first mall, Westm
ount Centre; and the largest mall in North America, West Edmonton Mall, which is
also considered to be the 10th largest mall in the world.[149][150] Other menti
onable malls include Bonnie Doon Shopping Centre, Edmonton City Centre (a combin
ation of the former Edmonton Centre and Eaton Centre malls), Southgate Centre, K
ingsway Mall, Northgate Centre, Abbotsfield Mall, Londonderry Mall, and Mill Woo
ds Town Centre.[151]
Edmonton also has many big box shopping centres and power centres. Some of the m
ajor ones include South Edmonton Common (North America's largest open air retail
development),[152] Skyview Power Centre, Terra Losa Centre, Oliver Square, Sout
hpark Centre, The Meadows, Christy's Corner, and Westpoint. In 2008, constructio
n started on the Windermere power centre.[153]

In contrast to suburban centres, Edmonton has many urban retail locations. The l
argest of them all, Old Strathcona, includes many independent stores between 99
Street and 109 Street on Whyte Avenue and area.[154] In around the downtown of E
dmonton, there are a small handful of shopping districts, such as previously men
tioned Edmonton City Centre mall, Jasper Avenue and 104 Street. Near Oliver, 124
Street is home to a significant number of retail stores. Edmonton is the Canadi
an testing-ground for many American retailers, such as Bath & Body Works and Cal
vin Klein.[155]

The Francis Winspear Centre for Music
The Francis Winspear Centre for Music[156] was opened in 1997 after years of pla
nning and fundraising.[157] Described as one of the most acoustically perfect co
ncert halls in Canada, it is home to the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra and hosts a
wide variety of shows every year. It seats 1,932 patrons and houses the $3-mill
ion Davis Concert Organ, the largest concert organ in Canada.[158] Across 102 Av
enue is the Citadel Theatre, named after The Salvation Army Citadel in which Joe
Shoctor first started the Citadel Theatre Company in 1965. It is now one of the
largest theatre complexes in Canada, with five halls, each specializing in diff
erent kinds of productions.[159] On the University of Alberta grounds is the 2,5
34-seat Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium, which were undertaken over a year o
f heavy renovations carried out as part of the province's 2005 centennial celebr
ations. Both it and its southern twin in Calgary were constructed in 1955 for th
e province's golden jubilee and have hosted many concerts, musicals, and ballets
. The Edmonton Opera uses the Jubilee as its base of operations. On the front of
the building is a quote from Suetonius' Life of Augustus: "He found a city buil
left it built of marble."

The Old Strathcona neighbourhood is home to the Theatre District, which holds th
e ATB Financial Arts Barns (headquarters of the Edmonton International Fringe Fe
stival), The Walterdale Playhouse, Catalyst Theatre, and the Varscona Theatre (b
ase of operations for several theatre companies, including Teatro la Quindicina,
Shadow Theatre, Die-Nasty, and Oh Susanna!). Edmonton was named cultural capita
l of Canada in 2007.[160][161] The Ukrainian Dnipro Ensemble of Edmonton, along
with other Ukrainian choirs such as the Ukrainian Male Chorus of Edmonton, helps
preserve the Ukrainian musical culture within the parameters of the Canadian mu
lticultural identity in Edmonton.[162]
Festivals[edit]

de waterfall during Klondike Days.
Edmonton plays host to several large festivals each year, contributing to its ni
ckname, "Canada's Festival City".[1] Downtown Edmonton's Churchill Square host n
umerous festivals each summer. The Works Art & Design Festival, which takes plac
e from late June to early July, showcases Canadian and international art and des
ign from well-known award-winning artists as well as emerging and student artist
s. The Edmonton International Street Performer's Festival[163] takes place in mi
d-July and showcases street performance artists from around the world.

Edmonton's main summer festival is K-Days, formerly Klondike Days, Capital Ex an


d originally the Edmonton Exhibition.[164] Founded in 1879, the Edmonton Exhibit
ion was originally an annual fair and exhibition that eventually adopted a gold
rush theme, becoming Klondike Days in the 1960s.[164] Northlands, the operators,
renamed the festival to "Edmonton's Capital Ex" or "Capital Ex" in 2006.[164] I
n 2012, Edmonton Northlands conducted a poll to rename the festival that resulte
d in changing the name to "K-Days".[164] Activities include carnival rides and f
airways, music, trade shows, and daily fireworks.[165]
Since 1960, the Sourdough Raft Races have also been a popular event.[166] Later
in November, Edmonton plays host to the Canadian Finals Rodeo and Farmfair; this
is a significant event in Canada's rodeo circuit and second only to the Nationa
l Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas in prestige.[167]
The Edmonton International Fringe Festival, held in mid-August, is the largest f
ringe theatre festival in North America and second only to the Edinburgh Fringe
Festival worldwide.[168] In August, Edmonton is also host to the Edmonton Folk M
usic Festival, one of the most successful and popular folk music festivals in No
rth America.[169] Another major summer festival is the Edmonton Heritage Festiva
l, which is an ethnocultural festival that takes place in Hawrelak Park on the H
eritage Day long weekend.[170] Many other festivals exist, such as Interstellar
Rodeo,[171] the Free Will Shakespeare Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival,[172] t
he Whyte Avenue Art Walk, and the Edmonton International Film Festival.
Museums and galleries[edit]
Art Gallery of Alberta.
Buildings on the grounds of the Royal Alberta Museum.
The main building of the Telus World of Science.
There are many museums in Edmonton of various sizes.[173] The largest is the Roy
al Alberta Museum (RAM), which was formerly known as the Provincial Museum of Al
berta until it was renamed in honour of Queen Elizabeth II's 2005 Alberta centen
nial visit. The RAM houses over 10 million objects in its collection and showcas
es the culture and practices of the diverse aboriginal tribes of the region. The
main building, overlooking the river valley west of the city centre in the Glen
ora neighbourhood, was opened in 1967 and is now in the early stages of large-sc
ale redevelopment.[174]
The Telus World of Science is located in the Woodcroft neighbourhood northwest o
f the city centre. It opened in 1984 and has since been expanded several times.
It contains five permanent galleries, one additional gallery for temporary exhib
its, an IMAX theatre, a planetarium, an observatory, and an amateur radio statio
n. The Edmonton Valley Zoo is in the river valley to the southwest of the city c
entre.[175]
The Alberta Aviation Museum, located in a hangar at the City Centre Airport, was
built for the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. Its collection includes b
oth civilian and military aircraft, the largest of which are a Boeing 737 and tw
o CF-101 Voodoos. It also has one of only 3 BOMARC missiles in Canada.
The Prince of Wales Armouries Heritage Centre is also home to the Loyal Edmonton
Regiment Military Museum. The museum is dedicated to preserving the military he
ritage and the sacrifices made by the people of Edmonton and Alberta in general.
The museum features two galleries and several smaller exhibits. The collection
includes historic firearms, uniforms, souvenirs, memorabilia, military accoutrem
ents, as well as a large photographic and archival collection spanning the pre-W
orld War One period to the present. The museum features an exhibit on the role o

f the 49th Battalion, CEF in Canada's Hundred Days Offensive. The Telephone Hist
orical Centre is a telephone museum also located in the Prince of Wales Armourie
s Heritage Centre in central Edmonton. In addition to a collection of artifacts
tracing the history of the telephone, the museum has its own theatre featuring a
brief film led by the robot Xeldon.[176]
The Alberta Railway Museum[177] is located in the rural northeast portion of the
city. It contains a variety of locomotives and railroad cars from different per
iods, and includes a working steam locomotive. Since most of its exhibits are ou
tdoors, it is only open between Victoria Day and Labour Day.
Fort Edmonton Park, Canada's largest living history museum, is located in the ri
ver valley southwest of the city centre. Edmonton's heritage is displayed throug
h historical buildings (many of which are originals moved to the park), costumed
historical interpreters, and authentic artifacts. In total, it covers the regio
n's history from approximately 1795 to 1929 (represented by Fort Edmonton), foll
owed chronologically by 1885, 1905, and 1920 streets, and a recreation of a 1920
s midway. A steam train, streetcars, automobiles and horse-drawn vehicles may be
seen in operation (and utilized by the public) around the park. The John Walter
Museum and Historical Area (c. 1875 to 1901) is on the Canadian Register of His
toric Places.[178] The University of Alberta operates its own internal Museums a
nd Collections service.[179]
The Art Gallery of Alberta (AGA) is the city's largest single gallery. Formerly
housed in an inconspicuous 1970s building downtown, the AGA collection had over
5,000 pieces of art. The former AGA building was demolished in July 2007 to make
way for construction of a new facility designed by Randall Stout. It was estima
ted to cost over $88-million and the amount that Edmonton City Council donated t
owards its construction was met with some controversy. The AGA officially opened
on January 31, 2010.[180] Independent galleries can be found throughout the cit
y, especially along the 124 Street/Jasper Avenue corridor, known as the "gallery
walk".[181]
Music[edit]
Further information: List of musicians from Edmonton
In the city's early days, music was performed in churches and community halls. E
dmonton has a history of opera and classical music performance; both genres hist
orically have been supported by a variety of clubs and associations. Edmonton's
first major radio station, CKUA, began broadcasting music in 1927.[182] The city
is a centre for music instruction; the University of Alberta began its music de
partment in 1945, and MacEwan University opened a jazz and musical theatre progr
am in 1980. Festivals of jazz, folk, and classical music are popular entertainme
nt events in the city.[183]
The Edmonton Symphony Orchestra has existed under various incarnations since 191
3. In 1952, the Edmonton Philharmonic and the Edmonton Pops orchestras amalgamat
ed to form the 60-member modern version. The Orchestra performs at the Francis W
inspear Centre for Music.[184]
The city also has a vibrant popular music scene, across genres including hip-hop
, reggae, R&B, rock, pop, metal, punk, country and electronica. Notable past and
present local musicians include Robert Goulet,[185] Tommy Banks, Tim Feehan, Ca
dence Weapon, Kreesha Turner, The Smalls, SNFU, Social Code, Stereos, Ten Second
Epic, Tupelo Honey, Mac DeMarco, Shout Out Out Out Out, Purity Ring, The Wet Se
crets, and numerous others.[186]
Nightlife[edit]
There are several key areas of nightlife in the city of Edmonton. The most popul
ar is the Whyte Avenue (82 Avenue) strip, located between 109 Street and 99 Stre
et; it has the highest number of heritage buildings in Edmonton,[187] and the ni

ghtlife (bars, clubs, and restaurants) are located throughout, but mostly west o
f Gateway Boulevard (103 Street). Once the heart of the town of Strathcona (anne
xed by Edmonton on February 1, 1912), it fell into disrepair during the middle o
f the 20th century.[188] Beginning in the 1970s, a coordinated effort to revive
the area through the establishment of a business revitalization zone has produce
d an area rich with restored historical buildings and pleasant streetscapes.[86]
Its proximity to the University of Alberta has led to a high number of establis
hments ranging from restaurants and pubs to trendy clubs while hosting a wide va
riety of retail and specialty shops during the day. This area also contains two
independent movie theatres: the Garneau and Princess theatres, as well as severa
l live theatre, music, and comedy venues.[189]
Downtown Edmonton has undergone a continual process of renewal and growth since
the mid-1990s. Many buildings were demolished during the oil boom, starting in t
he 1960s and continuing into the 1980s, to make way for office towers. As such,
there have always been numerous pub-type establishments, as well as many hotel l
ounges and restaurants. The past decade has seen a strong resurgence in more mai
nstream venues. Edmonton also has a high demand for pub crawl tours in the city.
Various clubs are also to be found along Edmonton's main street, Jasper Avenue.
The Edmonton City Centre mall also houses an Empire Theatres movie theatre, fea
turing nine screens. The nonprofit Metro Cinema[190] shows a variety of alternat
ive or otherwise unreleased films every week.
West Edmonton Mall holds several after-hour establishments in addition to its ma
ny stores and attractions. Bourbon Street has numerous eating establishments; cl
ubs and casinos can also be found within the complex. Scotiabank Theatre (former
ly known as Silver City), at the west end of the mall, is a theatre that feature
s twelve screens and an IMAX.[19]

Government[edit]
Matthew McCauley, first mayor of Edmonton
In 1892 Edmonton was incorporated as a town. The first mayor was Matthew McCaule
y, who established the first school board in Edmonton and Board of Trade (later
Chamber of Commerce) and a municipal police service.[198] Due to mayor McCauley'
s good relationship with the federal Liberals this helped Edmonton to maintain p
olitical prominence over Strathcona, a rival settlement on the south bank of the
North Saskatchewan River.[198] Edmonton was incorporated as a city in 1904 and
became the capital of Alberta in 1905.

Unions and radical organizations such as the Industrial Workers of the World str
uggled for progressive social change through the early years, with the first ref
ormer, James East, being elected in 1912, followed by the first official Labour
alderman, James Kinney, the following year. Many thousands of workers participat
ed in the Edmonton general strike of 1919 and a strong block of Labour represent
atives were on council after the next election: James Kinney, James East, Sam Mc
Coppen, Joe Clarke and Rice Sheppard.
Labour representation on city council would become a near-majority in 1929, and,
during the Great Depression, a full majority from 1932 to 1934.[199] Jan Reimer
became the city's first female mayor, when she was elected in 1989.[200]

Municipal politics[edit]
Edmonton is represented by a mayor and 12 councillors one for each of the 12 wards
. On July 22, 2009 City Council adopted an electoral system that divides Edmonto
n into 12 wards, instead of the previous two for each of six wards. This system
came into effect with the following election in October 2010.[201] The most rece
nt election was held in October 2013, and elected members to a four-year term.
Provincial politics[edit]
Provincial Legislature of Alberta lit up by exterior lighting during a winter ni
ght.
Provincial Legislature of Alberta
Edmonton is the capital of the province of Alberta and holds all main provincial
areas of government such as the Provincial Legislature of Alberta. The Edmonton
region is represented by 20 MLAs, one for each provincial electoral district. M
any of these boundaries have been changed, adjusted and renamed while the city h
as grown.[202] In the current 29th Alberta Legislature all of Edmonton's distric
ts are represented by members from the governing Alberta New Democratic Party.[2
03] Six of these members are cabinet ministers while one of them is also the Pre
mier of Alberta, Rachel Notley.[204]
Crime[edit]
The city's police force, the Edmonton Police Service, was founded in 1892, and h
ad approximately 1,400 officers in 2012.[205] Edmonton experienced a decrease in
crime in the 1990s, an increase in the early 2000s,[206] and another downturn a
t the end of the decade.
The Edmonton census metropolitan area (CMA) had a crime severity index of 84.5 i
n 2013, which is higher the national average of 68.7.[207] Its crime severity in
dex was the fifth-highest among CMAs in Canada behind Regina, Saskatoon, Kelowna
and Vancouver.[207] Edmonton had the fourth-most homicides in 2013 at 27.[207]
Military[edit]
Edmonton is home to 1 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group (1 CMBG), the Regular Fo
rce army brigade group of Land Force Western Area of the Canadian Army. Units in
1 CMBG include Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians), 1 Combat Engineer Reg
iment, two of the three regular force battalions of Princess Patricia's Canadian
Light Infantry, and various headquarters, service, and support elements. Althou
gh not part of 1 CMBG, 408 Tactical Helicopter Squadron and 1 Field Ambulance ar
e located with the brigade group. All of these units are located at Lancaster Pa
rk, immediately north of the city. From 1943, as CFB Namao (now CFB Edmonton/Edm
onton Garrison), it was a major air force base.[208] In 1996, all fixed-wing avi
ation units were transferred to CFB Cold Lake.
The Canadian Airborne Training Centre had been located in the city in the 1980s.
The move of 1 CMBG and component units from Calgary occurred in 1996 in what wa

s described as a cost-saving measure.[209] The brigade had existed in Calgary si


nce the 1950s, and Lord Strathcona's Horse had traditionally been a Calgary garr
ison unit dating back to before World War I.
Edmonton also has a large army reserve element from 41 Canadian Brigade Group (4
1 CBG), including The Loyal Edmonton Regiment (4th Battalion, Princess Patricia'
s Canadian Light Infantry); 41 Combat Engineer Regiment; HQ Battery, 20th Field
Artillery Regiment; and B Squadron of The South Alberta Light Horse, one of Albe
rta's oldest army reserve units. Despite being far from Canada's coasts, Edmonto
n is also the home of HMCS Nonsuch,[210] a naval reserve division. There are num
erous cadet corps[211] of the different elements (naval, army and air force) wit
hin Edmonton as well.
Infrastructure[edit]
Transportation[edit]
Main article: Transportation in Edmonton
Aviation[edit]
Edmonton International Airport's South Terminal.
See also: List of airports in the Edmonton Capital Region
Edmonton is a major air transportation gateway to northern Alberta and northern
Canada.[26] The Edmonton International Airport (EIA) is the main airport serving
the city.
The EIA provides passenger service to destinations in the United States, Europe,
Mexico, and the Caribbean. The EIA is located within Leduc County, adjacent to
the City of Leduc and the Nisku Industrial Business Park. With direct air distan
ces from Edmonton to places such as London in Europe being shorter than to other
main airports in western North America,[212] Edmonton Airports is working to es
tablish a major container shipping hub called Port Alberta.[213]
Rail[edit]
Edmonton serves as a major transportation hub for Canadian National Railway, who
se North American operations management centre is located at their Edmonton offi
ces. It is also tied into the Canadian Pacific Railway network, which provides s
ervice from Calgary to the south and extends northeast of Edmonton to serve Albe
rta's Industrial Heartland.
Inter-city rail passenger rail service is provided by Via Rail's premier train,
the Canadian, as it travels between Vancouver, British Columbia, and Toronto, On
tario. Passenger trains stop at the Edmonton railway station three days a week i
n both directions. The train connects Edmonton to multiple stops in British Colu
mbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario.[214]
Public transit[edit]
Bay/Enterprise Square LRT station
The Edmonton Transit System (ETS) is the city's public transit agency, operating
the Edmonton Light Rail Transit (LRT) line as well as a fleet of buses.[215] Ap
proximately one-third of people in the Edmonton Capital Region (mostly from Edmo
nton proper) use ETS per day (354,440[216][217] out of 1,034,945[218]). There ar
e approximately 280,000 ETS bus riders on average per day.[216]
From the 1990s to early 2009, Edmonton was one of two cities in Canada still ope
rating trolley buses, along with Vancouver. On June 18, 2008, City Council decid
ed to abandon the Edmonton trolley bus system[219] and the last trolley bus ran
on May 2, 2009.[220][221]
Scheduled LRT service began on April 23, 1978, with five extensions of the singl
e line completed since.[222] The original Edmonton line is considered to be the

first "modern" light rail line in North America (i.e., built from scratch, rathe
r than being an upgrade of an old system). It introduced the use of German-desig
ned rolling stock that subsequently became the standard light rail vehicle of th
e United States.[222] The Edmonton "proof-of-payment" fare collection system ado
pted in 1980
modelled after European ticket systems
became the North American tr
ansit industry's preferred approach for subsequent light rail projects.[223] The
four-year South LRT extension was opened in full on April 24, 2010, which sees
trains travelling to Century Park[224] (located at 23 Avenue and 111 Street), ma
king stops at South Campus and Southgate Centre along the way.[224] A line to th
e Northern Alberta Institute of Technology in north-central Edmonton using the s
ame high floor technology of the existing system opened September 6, 2015. Edmon
ton is also expanding the LRT to Mill Woods (the southeast) by 2020 and to Lewis
Farms (the west) thereafter using low floor technology.
Roads[edit]
Stony Plain Road looking towards downtown
A largely gridded system forms most of Edmonton's street and road network.[225]
The address system is mostly numbered, with streets running south to north and a
venues running east to west. In built-up areas built since the 1950s, local stre
ets and major roadways generally do not conform to the grid system. Major roadwa
ys include Kingsway, Yellowhead Trail (Highway 16), Whitemud Drive and Anthony H
enday Drive, and the city is connected to other communities elsewhere in Alberta
, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan via the Yellowhead Highway to the west and
east and the Queen Elizabeth II Highway (Alberta Highway 2) to the south.[226][2
27]
Trail system[edit]
There is an extensive multi-use trail system for bicycles and pedestrians throug
hout the city; however, most of this is within the river valley parkland system.
[228]
Electricity and water[edit]
EPCOR's former Rossdale Power Plant.
Edmonton's first power company established itself in 1891 and installed streetli
ghts along the city's main avenue, Jasper Avenue. The power company was bought b
y the Town of Edmonton in 1902 and remains under municipal ownership today as EP
COR. Also in charge of water treatment, in 2002 EPCOR installed the world's larg
est ultraviolet (UV) water treatment or ultraviolet disinfection system at its E
.L. Smith Water Treatment Plant.[229]
Waste disposal[edit]
The Edmonton Composting Facility, the largest of its type in the world, is also
the largest stainless steel building in North America.[230] By 2016, the city an
ticipates that it will divert more than 90 percent of the city's household waste
from the landfills.[230][231] Among the innovative uses for the city's waste in
cludes a Christmas tree recycling program. The trees are collected each January
and put through a woodchipper; this material is used as an addition to the compo
sting process. In addition, the wood chips absorb much of the odour produced by
the compost by providing a biofilter element to trap odour causing gaseous resul
ts of the process.[232]
Together, the Waste Management Centre and Wastewater Treatment plant are known a
s the Edmonton Waste Management Centre of Excellence. Research partners include
the University of Alberta, the Alberta Research Council, the Northern Alberta In
stitute of Technology, and Olds College.[233]
Health care[edit]

University Hospital Complex at the University of Alberta.


There are four main hospitals serving Edmonton: University of Alberta Hospital,
Royal Alexandra Hospital, Misericordia Community Hospital, and Grey Nuns Communi
ty Hospital.[234] Other area hospitals include Sturgeon Community Hospital in St
. Albert, Leduc Community Hospital in Leduc, Westview Health Centre in Stony Pla
in, and Fort Saskatchewan Community Hospital in Fort Saskatchewan. Dedicated psy
chiatric care is provided at the Alberta Hospital. The Northeast Community Healt
h Centre offers a 24-hour emergency room with no inpatient ward services. The Un
iversity of Alberta Hospital is the centre of a larger complex of hospitals and
clinics located adjacent to the university campus which comprises the Stollery C
hildren's Hospital, Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute, Cross Cancer Institute,
Zeidler Gastrointestinal Health Centre, Ledcor Clinical Training Centre, and Ed

Education[edit]
Entryway to MacEwan University's downtown campus.
Secondary[edit]
Edmonton has three publicly funded school boards (districts) that provide kinder
garten and grades 1 12. The vast majority of students attend schools in the two la
rge English language boards: Edmonton Public Schools, and the separate Edmonton
Catholic School District.[236] Also, since 1994, the Francophone minority commun
ity has had their own school board based in Edmonton, the Greater North Central
Francophone Education Region No. 2, which includes surrounding communities. The
city also has a number of public charter schools that are independent of any boa
rd. All three school boards and public charter schools are funded through provin
cial grants and property taxes.
Some private schools exist as well, including Edmonton Academy,[237] Progressive
Academy[238] and Tempo School.[239] The Edmonton Society for Christian Educatio
n[240] and Millwoods Christian School (not part of the former) used to be privat
e schools; however, both have become part of Edmonton Public Schools as alternat
ive programs.[241][242]
Both the Edmonton Public Schools and the Edmonton Catholic School District provi
de support and resources for those wishing to homeschool their children.[243]
Post-secondary[edit]
Those post-secondary institutions based in Edmonton that are publicly funded inc
lude Concordia University College of Alberta, MacEwan University, The King's Uni
versity College, NorQuest College, the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology
(NAIT) and the University of Alberta (U of A).[244] The publicly funded Athabasc
a University and the University of Lethbridge[244] also have campuses in Edmonto
n.[245][246]
The U of A is a board-governed institution[247] that has an annual revenue of ov
er one billion dollars.[248] In 2011/12, the university had over 38,000 students
enrolled within nearly 400 undergraduate, graduate and professional programs, a
s well as over 15,000 students enrolled in its faculty of extension.[249] The U
of A is also home to the second-largest research library system in Canada.[250]
In 2010/11, MacEwan University had a total student population of over 43,000 stu
dents, including nearly 14,000 full-time students, enrolled in programs offering

bachelor's degrees, university transfers, diplomas and certificates.[251] NAIT


has an approximate total of 61,200 students enrolled in more than 200 programs[2
52] while NorQuest College has approximately 8,500 students enrolled in various
full-time, part-time and continuing education programs.[253]
Other post-secondary institutions within Edmonton include Taylor University Coll
ege and Seminary[254] and Yellowhead Tribal College, a First Nations college.[25

Edmonton Listeni/'?dm?nt?n/ is the capital of Alberta, Canada. Edmonton is on th
e North Saskatchewan River and is the centre of the Edmonton Capital Region, whi
ch is surrounded by Alberta's central region.
The city had a population of 877,926 in the 2014 census,[11] is Alberta's second
-largest city and Canada's fifth-largest municipality. This population represent
s 66 percent of the total 2014 population of 1,328,300[12] within the Edmonton c
ensus metropolitan area (CMA), Canada's fifth-largest CMA by population. Edmonto
n is the most northern North American city with a metropolitan population over o
ne million. A resident of Edmonton is known as an Edmontonian.[13]
Edmonton's historic growth has been facilitated through the absorption of five a
djacent urban municipalities (Strathcona, North Edmonton, West Edmonton, Beverly

Edmonton Listeni/'?dm?nt?n/ is the capital of Alberta, Canada. Edmonton is on th
e North Saskatchewan River and is the centre of the Edmonton Capital Region, whi
ch is surrounded by Alberta's central region.
The city had a population of 877,926 in the 2014 census,[11] is Alberta's second
-largest city and Canada's fifth-largest municipality. This population represent
s 66 percent of the total 2014 population of 1,328,300[12] within the Edmonton c
ensus metropolitan area (CMA), Canada's fifth-largest CMA by population. Edmonto
n is the most northern North American city with a metropolitan population over o
ne million. A resident of Edmonton is known as an Edmontonian.[13]
Edmonton's historic growth has been facilitated through the absorption of five a
djacent urban municipalities (Strathcona, North Edmonton, West Edmonton, Beverly
and Jasper Place)[14] and a series of annexations ending in 1982.[15] Edmonton
serves as the northern anchor of the Calgary Edmonton Corridor.[16] Known as the "
Gateway to the North",[17] the city is a staging point for large-scale oil sands
projects occurring in northern Alberta and large-scale diamond mining operation
s in the Northwest Territories.[18]

History[edit]
Further information: History of Edmonton and Timeline of Edmonton history
The earliest known inhabitants settled in the area that is now Edmonton around 3
,000 BC and perhaps as early as 12,000 BC, when an ice-free corridor opened up a
s the last glacial period ended and timber, water, and wildlife became available
in the region.[21]
In 1754, Anthony Henday, an explorer working for the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC),
may have been the first European to enter the Edmonton area.[22] His expedition
s across the Canadian Prairies were mainly to seek contact with the aboriginal p
opulation for the purpose of establishing the fur trade, as competition was fier
ce between the Hudson's Bay Company and the North West Company. By 1795, Fort Ed
monton was established on the north bank of the river, as a major trading post f
or the Hudson's Bay Company.[23] The name of the new fort was suggested by John
Peter Pruden after Edmonton, London, the home town of both the HBC deputy govern
or Sir James Winter Lake, and Pruden.
The coming of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) to southern Alberta in 1885 hel
ped the Edmonton economy, and the 1891 building of the Calgary and Edmonton (C&E
) Railway resulted in the emergence of a railway townsite (South Edmonton/Strath
cona) on the south side of the river, across from Edmonton. The arrival of the C
PR and the C&E Railway facilitated the arrival of settlers and entrepreneurs fro
m eastern Canada, Britain and continental Europe, U.S. and other parts of the wo
rld. The fertile soil and cheap land in the Edmonton area helped attract settler
s, further establishing Edmonton as a major regional commercial and agricultural
centre. Some people participating in the Klondike Gold Rush passed through Sout
h Edmonton/Strathcona in 1897. Strathcona was the northernmost railway point in
North America, but travel to the Klondike was still very difficult for the "Klon
dikers", and a majority of them took a steamship north to the Yukon from Vancouv
er.[24]
Jasper Avenue in Edmonton, ca.1907
Incorporated as a town in 1892 with a population of 700 and then as a city in 19
04 with a population of 8,350,[25] Edmonton became the capital of Alberta when t
he province was formed a year later, on September 1, 1905.[26] In November 1905,
the Canadian Northern Railway (CNR) arrived in Edmonton, accelerating growth.[2
7]

During the early 1900s, Edmonton grew very rapidly, causing speculation in real
estate. In 1912, Edmonton amalgamated with the City of Strathcona, south of the
North Saskatchewan River; as a result, the city extended south of the North Sask
atchewan River for the first time.[28]
Just prior to World War I, the boom ended, and the city's population declined sh
arply from more than 72,000 in 1914 to less than 54,000 only two years later.[29
] Many impoverished families moved to subsistence farms outside the city and oth
ers fled to greener pastures in other provinces.[30] Recruitment to the Canadian
army during the war also contributed to the drop in population.[31] Afterwards,
the city slowly recovered in population and economy during the 1920s and 1930s
and took off again during and after World War II.
The Edmonton City Centre Airport opened in 1929,[32] becoming the first licensed
airfield in Canada.[33] Originally named Blatchford Field in honour of former m
ayor Kenny Blatchford, pioneering aviators such as Wilfrid R. "Wop" May and Max
Ward used Blatchford Field as a major base for the distribution of mail, food, a
nd medicine to Northern Canada; hence Edmonton's emergence as the "Gateway to th
e North". World War II saw Edmonton becoming a major base for the construction o
f the Alaska Highway and the Northwest Staging Route.[34]
Geography[edit]
Edmonton is located on the North Saskatchewan River, and sits at an elevation of
671 metres (2,201 ft).[26] Edmonton is the most northerly city in North America
with a metropolitan population of over one million. It is at the same latitude
as Hamburg (Germany), Dublin (Ireland), Manchester (United Kingdom), and Magnito
gorsk (Russia). North as it is, it is south of the geographic centre of Alberta,
which is located near the Hamlet of Fort Assiniboine.[35] The terrain in and ar
ound Edmonton is generally flat to gently rolling, with ravines and deep river v
alleys, such as the North Saskatchewan River valley.[36] The Canadian Rockies ar
e located about 220 km (140 mi) to the southwest.
The North Saskatchewan River originates at the Columbia Icefield in Jasper Natio
nal Park and bisects the city. Before the construction of two reservoirs near th
e mountains, it would sometimes flood Edmonton's river valley, most notably in t
he North Saskatchewan River flood of 1915. It empties via the Saskatchewan River
, Lake Winnipeg, and the Nelson River into Hudson Bay.[37] It runs from the sout
hwest to the northeast and is fed by numerous creeks throughout the city, such a
s Mill Creek, Whitemud Creek and Blackmud Creek; this creates numerous ravines,
some of which are used for urban parkland.[38] Edmonton is situated at the bound
ary between prairie to the south and boreal forest to the north, in a transition
al area known as aspen parkland. However, the aspen woods and forests in and aro
und Edmonton have long since been reduced by farming and other human activities,
such as oil and natural gas exploration.[39]
Climate[edit]
Edmonton has a humid continental climate (Kppen climate classification Dfb)[40] w
ith relatively low precipitation, and falls into the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 4
a.[41]
The city has milder winters than either Regina[42] or Winnipeg,[43] both further
south of Edmonton in latitude. Its average daily temperatures range from a low
of -10.4 C (13.3 F) in January to a summer peak of 17.7 C (63.9 F) in July.[44] With
average maximum of 23.1 C (73.6 F) in July, and minimum of -14.8 C (5.4 F) in Janua
ry.[45] Annually, temperatures can exceed 30 C (86 F) for an average of four to fi
ve days anytime from late April to mid-September and fall below -20 C (-4 F) for a
n average of 28 days. The highest temperature recorded within the City of Edmont
on was 37.2 C (99.0 F), on June 29, 1937. [46] On July 2, 2013, a record high humi
dex of 43 C (109.4 F) was recorded, due to an unusually humid day with an air temp
erature of 33.9 C (93.0 F) and a record high dewpoint of 23 C (73.4 F). [47][48] The

lowest overall temperature ever recorded in Edmonton was -49.4 C (-56.9 F), on Ja
nuary 19 and 21, 1886.[49]
Typically, summer lasts from late June until early September, and the humidity i
s seldom uncomfortably high. Winter lasts from November to March, and varies gre
atly in length and severity. Spring and autumn are both short and highly variabl
e. Edmonton's growing season is from May 7 to September 23;[50] Edmonton average
s 140 frost free days a year.[51] At the summer solstice, Edmonton receives seve
nteen hours and three minutes of daylight, with an hour and forty-six minutes of
civil twilight.[52] On average Edmonton receives 2,299 hours of bright sunshine
[53] per year and is one of Canada's sunniest cities.[44]
The summer of 2006 was a particularly warm one for Edmonton, as temperatures rea
ched 29 C (84 F) or higher more than 20 times during the year, from as early as mi
d-May and again in early September. The winter of 2011 12 was particularly warm; f
rom December 22, 2011, till March 20, 2012, Edmonton saw temperatures at or abov
e 0.0 C (32.00 F) 53 times at the City Centre Airport.[54][55][56][57]
Edmonton has a fairly dry climate. On average, it receives 476.9 millimetres (18
.78 in) of precipitation, of which 365.7 millimetres (14.40 in) is rain and 111.
2 millimetres (4.38 in) is the melt from 123.5 centimetres (48.6 in) of snowfall
per annum.[44] Precipitation is heaviest in the late spring, summer, and early
autumn. The wettest month is July, while the driest months are February, March,
October, and November.[44] In July, the mean precipitation is 91.7 mm (3.61 in).
[44] Dry spells are not uncommon and may occur at any time of the year. Extremes
do occur, such as the 114 mm (4.49 in) of rainfall that fell on July 31, 1953.[
44] Summer thunderstorms can be frequent and occasionally severe enough to produ
ce large hail, damaging winds, funnel clouds, and even tornadoes. The F4 tornado
that struck Edmonton on July 31, 1987, killing 27, was unusual in many respects
, including severity, duration, damage, and casualties.[citation needed] It is c
ommonly referred to as Black Friday due both to its aberrant characteristics and
the emotional shock it generated.[58] Then-mayor Laurence Decore cited the comm
unity's response to the tornado as evidence that Edmonton was a "city of champio
ns," which later became an unofficial slogan of the city.[1][59]
A massive cluster of thunderstorms occurred on July 11, 2004, with large hail an
d over 100 mm (4 in) of rain reported within the space of an hour in many places
.[60] This "1-in-200 year event" flooded major intersections and underpasses and
damaged both residential and commercial properties. The storm caused extensive
damage to West Edmonton Mall; a small glass section of the roof collapsed under
the weight of the rainwater, causing water to drain onto the mall's indoor ice r
ink. As a result, the mall was forced to undergo an evacuation as a precautionar
y measure.[61]

Parkland and environment[edit]

Streambed in Hawrelak Park
Edmonton's river valley constitutes the longest stretch of connected urban parkl
and in North America, and Edmonton has the highest amount of parkland per capita
of any Canadian city; the river valley is 22 times larger than New York City's
Central Park.[63] The river valley is home to various parks ranging from fully s
erviced urban parks to campsite-like facilities with few amenities. This main "R
ibbon of Green" is supplemented by numerous neighbourhood parks located througho
ut the city, to give a total of 111 km2 (27,400 acres) of parkland.[63] Within t
he 7,400 ha (18,000 acres), 25 km (16 mi)-long river valley park system, there a

re 11 lakes, 14 ravines, and 22 major parks, and most of the city has accessible
bike and walking trail connections.[64] These trails are also part of the 235 k
m (146 mi) Waskahegan walking trail. The City of Edmonton has named five parks i
n its River Valley Parks System in honour of each of "The Famous Five".[65]
Edmonton's streets and parklands also contain one of the largest remaining conce
ntrations of healthy American elm trees in the world, unaffected by Dutch elm di
sease, which has wiped out vast numbers of such trees in eastern North America.
Jack pine, lodgepole pine, white spruce, white birch, aspen, mountain ash, Amur
maple, Russian olive, green ash, basswood, various poplars and willows, flowerin
g crabapple, Mayday tree and Manitoba maple are also abundant; bur oak, silver m
aple, hawthorn and Ohio buckeye are increasingly popular. Other introduced tree
species include white ash, blue spruce, Norway maple, red oak, sugar maple, comm
on horse-chestnut, McIntosh apple, and Evans cherry.[66] Three walnut species
bu
tternut, Manchurian walnut, and black walnut have survived in Edmonton.[67]
Several golf courses, both public and private, are also located in the river val
ley; the long summer daylight hours of this northern city provide for extended p
lay from early morning well into the evening.[68] Golf courses and the park syst
em become a winter recreation area during this season, and cross-country skiing
and skating are popular during the long winter. Four downhill ski slopes are loc
ated in the river valley as well, two within the city and two immediately outsid
e.[69]
A variety of volunteer opportunities exist for citizens to participate in the st
ewardship of Edmonton's parkland and river valley. Volunteer programs include Ri
ver Valley Clean-up, Root for Trees, and Partner in Parks.[70] River Valley Clea
n-up engages volunteers to pick up hundreds of bags of litter each year.
Neighbourhoods[edit]

Edmonton is divided into 375 neighbourhoods[71] within 7 geographic sectors
a ma
ture area sector, which includes neighbourhoods that were essentially built out
prior to 1970,[72] and 6 surrounding suburban sectors.[73]
Edmonton's Downtown is located within the city's mature area or inner city.[73]
It and the surrounding Boyle Street, Central McDougall, Cloverdale, Garneau, McC
auley, Oliver, Queen Mary Park, Riverdale, Rossdale, Strathcona and University o
f Alberta form Edmonton's Central Core.[72] Oliver and Garneau are the city's mo
st populated and most densely populated neighbourhoods respectively. The mature
area sector also contains the five former urban municipalities annexed by the ci
ty over its history Beverly, Jasper Place, North Edmonton, Strathcona and West E
dmonton (Calder).[15][73]
Larger residential areas within Edmonton's six suburban sectors,[73] each compri
sing multiple neighbourhoods,[74] include: Heritage Valley, Kaskitayo, Riverbend
, Terwillegar Heights and Windermere (southwest sector); The Grange, Lewis Farms
and West Jasper Place (west sector); Big Lake (northwest sector); Castle Downs,
Lake District and The Palisades (north sector); Casselman-Steele Heights, Clare
view, Hermitage and Pilot Sound (northeast sector); and Ellerslie, The Meadows,
Mill Woods and Southeast Edmonton (southeast sector).[75] Mill Woods is divided
into a town centre community (Mill Woods Town Centre)[76] and eight surrounding
communities[77] Burnewood, Knottwood, Lakewood, Millbourne, Millhurst, Ridgewood
, Southwood, and Woodvale[78][79]
each having between two to four neighbourhoods
.[74]
Several transit-oriented developments (TOD) have begun to appear along the LRT l

ine at Clareview, with future developments planned at Belvedere (part of the Old
Town Fort Road Redevelopment Project).[80] Another TOD, called Century Park,[81
] is being constructed at the site of what was once Heritage Mall, at the southe
rn end of the LRT line. Century Park will eventually house up to 5,000 residents
.[82]
The Edmonton City Centre Airport is planned to be redeveloped into a sustainable
community of 30,000 people comprising a transit-oriented mixed use town centre,
townhouses, low, medium and high rise apartments, neighbourhood retail and serv
ice uses, and a major park.[83]
Edmonton has four major industrial districts
the Northwest Industrial District,
the Northeast Industrial District, the Southeast Industrial District and the eme
rging Edmonton Energy and Technology Park,[84] which is part of Alberta's Indust
rial Heartland.[85] The northwest, northeast and southeast districts each have s
maller industrial areas and neighbourhoods within them.[74][84]

Metropolitan area[edit]
Main article: Edmonton Capital Region
Edmonton is at the centre of Canada's sixth largest census metropolitan area (CM
A),[5] which includes Edmonton and 34 other municipalities in the surrounding ar
ea.[87] Larger urban communities include Sherwood Park (an urban service area wi
thin Strathcona County), the cities of St. Albert, Leduc, Spruce Grove and Fort
Saskatchewan, and the towns of Stony Plain, Beaumont, Morinville, and Devon.[88]
Major employment areas outside of Edmonton but within the CMA include the Nisku
Industrial Business Park and the Edmonton International Airport (including a pl
anned inland port logistics support facility in support of the Port Alberta init
iative)[89] in Leduc County, the Acheson Industrial Area in Parkland County, Ref
inery Row in Strathcona County and Alberta's Industrial Heartland[90] within por
tions of Fort Saskatchewan, Strathcona County and Sturgeon County.[91] Alberta's
Industrial Heartland also extends beyond the CMA's northeastern boundary[16] in
to a portion of Lamont County.[91]
The individual economic development interests and costs of service delivery in c
ertain municipalities within the region has led to intermunicipal competition, s
trained intermunicipal relationships and overall fragmentation of the region. Al
though several attempts have been made by the City of Edmonton to absorb surroun
ding municipalities[92] or annex portions of its neighbours,[93] the city has no
t absorbed another municipality since the Town of Jasper Place joined Edmonton o
n August 17, 1964[94] and the city has not annexed land from any of its neighbou
rs since January 1, 1982.[95] After years of mounting pressure in the early 21st
century, the Province of Alberta formed the Capital Region Board (CRB) on April
15, 2008.[96] The CRB consists of 24 member municipalities 22 of which are with
in the Edmonton CMA and two of which are outside the CMA. The City of Edmonton s
ubsequently announced in March 2013 its intent to annex 156 square kilometers of
land (including the Edmonton International Airport) from Leduc County.[97]

Main article: Demographics of Edmonton
The population of the City of Edmonton according to its 2014 municipal census is
877,926, a 7.4% change from its 2012 municipal census population of 817,498.[7]
The 2012 census captured more detailed demographic information on residents, in
cluding age and gender, marital status, employment status, length of residency,
prior residence, employment transportation mode, citizenship and school residenc
y, as well as dwellings and properties, including ownership, structure and statu
s.[119] Per its municipal census policy,[120] the city's next municipal census i
s scheduled for 2016.[121]
In the 2011 Census, the City of Edmonton had a population of 812,201 living in 3
24,756 of its 348,672 total dwellings, an 11.2 percent change from its 2006 popu
lation of 730,372. With a land area of 684.37 km2 (264.24 sq mi), it had a popul
ation density of 1,186.8/km2 (3,073.8/sq mi) in 2011.[4] The census also reporte
d that 50.2 percent of the population (407,325) was female while 49.8 percent (4
04,875) was male. The average age of the city's population was 36.0 years while
there was an average 2.5 people per household.[122]
The Edmonton census metropolitan area (CMA) has the sixth-greatest population of
CMAs in Canada and the second-greatest in Alberta, but has the largest land are
a in Canada. It had a population of 1,159,869 in the 2011 Census compared to its
2006 population of 1,034,945. Its five-year population change of 12.1 percent w
as second only to the Calgary CMA between 2006 and 2011. With a land area of 9,4
26.73 km2 (3,639.68 sq mi), the Edmonton CMA had a population density of 123.0/k
m2 (318.7/sq mi) in 2011.[5] Statistics Canada's latest estimate of the Edmonton
CMA population, as of July 1, 2013, is 1,289,564.[123]
The Edmonton population centre is the core[124] of the Edmonton CMA. This core i
ncludes the cities of Edmonton, Fort Saskatchewan and St. Albert, the Sherwood P

Edmonton is the major economic centre for northern and central Alberta and a maj
or centre for the oil and gas industry. As of 2014, the estimated value of major
projects within the Edmonton Capital Region was $57.8-billion, of which $34.4-b
illion are within the oil and gas, oil sands and pipeline sectors.[138]

Edmonton traditionally has been a hub for Albertan petrochemical industries, ear
ning it the nickname "Oil Capital of Canada" in the 1940s.[139] Supply and servi
ce industries drive the energy extraction engine, while research develops new te
chnologies and supports expanded value-added processing of Alberta's massive oil
, gas, and oil sands reserves. These are reported to be the second-largest in th
e world, after Saudi Arabia.[140]

The National Institute for Nanotechnology
Much of the growth in technology sectors is due to Edmonton's reputation as one
of Canada s premier research and education centres. Research initiatives are ancho
red by educational institutions such as the University of Alberta (U of A) as we
ll as government initiatives underway at the Alberta Research Council and Edmont
on Research Park. The U of A campus is home to the National Institute for Nanote
chnology.[141]
During the 1970s and 1980s, Edmonton became a major financial centre, with both
regional offices of Canada's major banks and locally based institutions opening.
[142] However, the turmoil of the late-1980s economy radically changed the situa
tion. Locally based operations such as Principal Trust and Canadian Commercial B
ank[143] would fail, and some regional offices were moved to other cities. The 1
990s saw a solidification of the economy, and Edmonton is now home to Canadian W

estern Bank, the only publicly traded Schedule I chartered bank headquarters wes
t of Toronto.[144] Other major financial centres include ATB Financial, Servus C
redit Union (formerly Capital City Savings), TD Canada Trust and Manulife Financ
ial.[145]
Edmonton has been the birthplace of several companies that have grown to interna
tional stature.[146] The local retail market has also seen the creation of many
successful store concepts, such as The Brick, Katz Group, AutoCanada, Boston Piz
za, Pizza 73, Liquor Stores GP (which includes Liquor Depot, Liquor Barn, OK Liq
uor, and Grapes & Grains), Planet Organic, Shaw Communications, Empire Design, R
unning Room, Booster Juice, Earl's, Fountain Tire and XS Cargo.[147]
Edmonton's geographical location has made it an ideal spot for distribution and
logistics. CN Rail's North American operational facility is located in the city,
as well as a major intermodal facility that handles all incoming freight from t
he port of Prince Rupert in British Columbia.[148]
Retail[edit]
West Edmonton Mall.
Edmonton is home to several shopping malls, including Canada's first mall, Westm
ount Centre; and the largest mall in North America, West Edmonton Mall, which is
also considered to be the 10th largest mall in the world.[149][150] Other menti
onable malls include Bonnie Doon Shopping Centre, Edmonton City Centre (a combin
ation of the former Edmonton Centre and Eaton Centre malls), Southgate Centre, K
ingsway Mall, Northgate Centre, Abbotsfield Mall, Londonderry Mall, and Mill Woo
ds Town Centre.[151]
Edmonton also has many big box shopping centres and power centres. Some of the m
ajor ones include South Edmonton Common (North America's largest open air retail
development),[152] Skyview Power Centre, Terra Losa Centre, Oliver Square, Sout
hpark Centre, The Meadows, Christy's Corner, and Westpoint. In 2008, constructio
n started on the Windermere power centre.[153]
In contrast to suburban centres, Edmonton has many urban retail locations. The l
argest of them all, Old Strathcona, includes many independent stores between 99
Street and 109 Street on Whyte Avenue and area.[154] In around the downtown of E
dmonton, there are a small handful of shopping districts, such as previously men
tioned Edmonton City Centre mall, Jasper Avenue and 104 Street. Near Oliver, 124
Street is home to a significant number of retail stores. Edmonton is the Canadi
an testing-ground for many American retailers, such as Bath & Body Works and Cal
vin Klein.[155]

The Francis Winspear Centre for Music
The Francis Winspear Centre for Music[156] was opened in 1997 after years of pla
nning and fundraising.[157] Described as one of the most acoustically perfect co
ncert halls in Canada, it is home to the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra and hosts a
wide variety of shows every year. It seats 1,932 patrons and houses the $3-mill
ion Davis Concert Organ, the largest concert organ in Canada.[158] Across 102 Av
enue is the Citadel Theatre, named after The Salvation Army Citadel in which Joe

Shoctor first started the Citadel Theatre Company in 1965. It is now one of the
largest theatre complexes in Canada, with five halls, each specializing in diff
erent kinds of productions.[159] On the University of Alberta grounds is the 2,5
34-seat Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium, which were undertaken over a year o
f heavy renovations carried out as part of the province's 2005 centennial celebr
ations. Both it and its southern twin in Calgary were constructed in 1955 for th
e province's golden jubilee and have hosted many concerts, musicals, and ballets
. The Edmonton Opera uses the Jubilee as its base of operations. On the front of
the building is a quote from Suetonius' Life of Augustus: "He found a city buil
t of brick
left it built of marble."
The Old Strathcona neighbourhood is home to the Theatre District, which holds th
e ATB Financial Arts Barns (headquarters of the Edmonton International Fringe Fe
stival), The Walterdale Playhouse, Catalyst Theatre, and the Varscona Theatre (b
ase of operations for several theatre companies, including Teatro la Quindicina,
Shadow Theatre, Die-Nasty, and Oh Susanna!). Edmonton was named cultural capita
l of Canada in 2007.[160][161] The Ukrainian Dnipro Ensemble of Edmonton, along
with other Ukrainian choirs such as the Ukrainian Male Chorus of Edmonton, helps
preserve the Ukrainian musical culture within the parameters of the Canadian mu
lticultural identity in Edmonton.[162]

rush theme, becoming Klondike Days in the 1960s.[164] Northlands, the operators,
renamed the festival to "Edmonton's Capital Ex" or "Capital Ex" in 2006.[164] I
n 2012, Edmonton Northlands conducted a poll to rename the festival that resulte
d in changing the name to "K-Days".[164] Activities include carnival rides and f
airways, music, trade shows, and daily fireworks.[165]
Since 1960, the Sourdough Raft Races have also been a popular event.[166] Later
in November, Edmonton plays host to the Canadian Finals Rodeo and Farmfair; this
is a significant event in Canada's rodeo circuit and second only to the Nationa
l Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas in prestige.[167]
The Edmonton International Fringe Festival, held in mid-August, is the largest f

The main building of the Telus World of Science.
There are many museums in Edmonton of various sizes.[173] The largest is the Roy
al Alberta Museum (RAM), which was formerly known as the Provincial Museum of Al
berta until it was renamed in honour of Queen Elizabeth II's 2005 Alberta centen
nial visit. The RAM houses over 10 million objects in its collection and showcas
es the culture and practices of the diverse aboriginal tribes of the region. The
main building, overlooking the river valley west of the city centre in the Glen
ora neighbourhood, was opened in 1967 and is now in the early stages of large-sc
ale redevelopment.[174]
The Telus World of Science is located in the Woodcroft neighbourhood northwest o
f the city centre. It opened in 1984 and has since been expanded several times.
It contains five permanent galleries, one additional gallery for temporary exhib
its, an IMAX theatre, a planetarium, an observatory, and an amateur radio statio
n. The Edmonton Valley Zoo is in the river valley to the southwest of the city c
entre.[175]
The Alberta Aviation Museum, located in a hangar at the City Centre Airport, was
built for the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. Its collection includes b
oth civilian and military aircraft, the largest of which are a Boeing 737 and tw
o CF-101 Voodoos. It also has one of only 3 BOMARC missiles in Canada.
The Prince of Wales Armouries Heritage Centre is also home to the Loyal Edmonton
Regiment Military Museum. The museum is dedicated to preserving the military he

orld War One period to the present. The museum features an exhibit on the role o
f the 49th Battalion, CEF in Canada's Hundred Days Offensive. The Telephone Hist
orical Centre is a telephone museum also located in the Prince of Wales Armourie
s Heritage Centre in central Edmonton. In addition to a collection of artifacts
tracing the history of the telephone, the museum has its own theatre featuring a
brief film led by the robot Xeldon.[176]
The Alberta Railway Museum[177] is located in the rural northeast portion of the
city. It contains a variety of locomotives and railroad cars from different per
iods, and includes a working steam locomotive. Since most of its exhibits are ou
tdoors, it is only open between Victoria Day and Labour Day.
Fort Edmonton Park, Canada's largest living history museum, is located in the ri
ver valley southwest of the city centre. Edmonton's heritage is displayed throug
h historical buildings (many of which are originals moved to the park), costumed
historical interpreters, and authentic artifacts. In total, it covers the regio
n's history from approximately 1795 to 1929 (represented by Fort Edmonton), foll
owed chronologically by 1885, 1905, and 1920 streets, and a recreation of a 1920
s midway. A steam train, streetcars, automobiles and horse-drawn vehicles may be
seen in operation (and utilized by the public) around the park. The John Walter
Museum and Historical Area (c. 1875 to 1901) is on the Canadian Register of His
toric Places.[178] The University of Alberta operates its own internal Museums a
nd Collections service.[179]
The Art Gallery of Alberta (AGA) is the city's largest single gallery. Formerly
housed in an inconspicuous 1970s building downtown, the AGA collection had over
5,000 pieces of art. The former AGA building was demolished in July 2007 to make
way for construction of a new facility designed by Randall Stout. It was estima

ted to cost over $88-million and the amount that Edmonton City Council donated t
owards its construction was met with some controversy. The AGA officially opened
on January 31, 2010.[180] Independent galleries can be found throughout the cit
y, especially along the 124 Street/Jasper Avenue corridor, known as the "gallery
walk".[181]
Music[edit]
Further information: List of musicians from Edmonton
In the city's early days, music was performed in churches and community halls. E
dmonton has a history of opera and classical music performance; both genres hist
orically have been supported by a variety of clubs and associations. Edmonton's
first major radio station, CKUA, began broadcasting music in 1927.[182] The city
is a centre for music instruction; the University of Alberta began its music de
partment in 1945, and MacEwan University opened a jazz and musical theatre progr
am in 1980. Festivals of jazz, folk, and classical music are popular entertainme
nt events in the city.[183]
The Edmonton Symphony Orchestra has existed under various incarnations since 191
3. In 1952, the Edmonton Philharmonic and the Edmonton Pops orchestras amalgamat
ed to form the 60-member modern version. The Orchestra performs at the Francis W
inspear Centre for Music.[184]
The city also has a vibrant popular music scene, across genres including hip-hop
, reggae, R&B, rock, pop, metal, punk, country and electronica. Notable past and

f Gateway Boulevard (103 Street). Once the heart of the town of Strathcona (anne
xed by Edmonton on February 1, 1912), it fell into disrepair during the middle o
f the 20th century.[188] Beginning in the 1970s, a coordinated effort to revive
the area through the establishment of a business revitalization zone has produce
d an area rich with restored historical buildings and pleasant streetscapes.[86]
Its proximity to the University of Alberta has led to a high number of establis
hments ranging from restaurants and pubs to trendy clubs while hosting a wide va
riety of retail and specialty shops during the day. This area also contains two
independent movie theatres: the Garneau and Princess theatres, as well as severa
l live theatre, music, and comedy venues.[189]
Downtown Edmonton has undergone a continual process of renewal and growth since
the mid-1990s. Many buildings were demolished during the oil boom, starting in t
he 1960s and continuing into the 1980s, to make way for office towers. As such,
there have always been numerous pub-type establishments, as well as many hotel l
ounges and restaurants. The past decade has seen a strong resurgence in more mai
nstream venues. Edmonton also has a high demand for pub crawl tours in the city.
Various clubs are also to be found along Edmonton's main street, Jasper Avenue.
The Edmonton City Centre mall also houses an Empire Theatres movie theatre, fea
turing nine screens. The nonprofit Metro Cinema[190] shows a variety of alternat
ive or otherwise unreleased films every week.

Government[edit]
Matthew McCauley, first mayor of Edmonton
In 1892 Edmonton was incorporated as a town. The first mayor was Matthew McCaule
y, who established the first school board in Edmonton and Board of Trade (later
Chamber of Commerce) and a municipal police service.[198] Due to mayor McCauley'
s good relationship with the federal Liberals this helped Edmonton to maintain p
olitical prominence over Strathcona, a rival settlement on the south bank of the
North Saskatchewan River.[198] Edmonton was incorporated as a city in 1904 and
became the capital of Alberta in 1905.
Unions and radical organizations such as the Industrial Workers of the World str
uggled for progressive social change through the early years, with the first ref
ormer, James East, being elected in 1912, followed by the first official Labour
alderman, James Kinney, the following year. Many thousands of workers participat
ed in the Edmonton general strike of 1919 and a strong block of Labour represent
atives were on council after the next election: James Kinney, James East, Sam Mc
Coppen, Joe Clarke and Rice Sheppard.
Labour representation on city council would become a near-majority in 1929, and,
during the Great Depression, a full majority from 1932 to 1934.[199] Jan Reimer
became the city's first female mayor, when she was elected in 1989.[200]

Municipal politics[edit]
Edmonton is represented by a mayor and 12 councillors one for each of the 12 wards
. On July 22, 2009 City Council adopted an electoral system that divides Edmonto
n into 12 wards, instead of the previous two for each of six wards. This system
came into effect with the following election in October 2010.[201] The most rece
nt election was held in October 2013, and elected members to a four-year term.
Provincial politics[edit]
Provincial Legislature of Alberta lit up by exterior lighting during a winter ni
ght.
Provincial Legislature of Alberta
Edmonton is the capital of the province of Alberta and holds all main provincial

areas of government such as the Provincial Legislature of Alberta. The Edmonton


region is represented by 20 MLAs, one for each provincial electoral district. M
any of these boundaries have been changed, adjusted and renamed while the city h
as grown.[202] In the current 29th Alberta Legislature all of Edmonton's distric
ts are represented by members from the governing Alberta New Democratic Party.[2
03] Six of these members are cabinet ministers while one of them is also the Pre
mier of Alberta, Rachel Notley.[204]
Crime[edit]
The city's police force, the Edmonton Police Service, was founded in 1892, and h
ad approximately 1,400 officers in 2012.[205] Edmonton experienced a decrease in
crime in the 1990s, an increase in the early 2000s,[206] and another downturn a
t the end of the decade.
The Edmonton census metropolitan area (CMA) had a crime severity index of 84.5 i
n 2013, which is higher the national average of 68.7.[207] Its crime severity in
dex was the fifth-highest among CMAs in Canada behind Regina, Saskatoon, Kelowna
and Vancouver.[207] Edmonton had the fourth-most homicides in 2013 at 27.[207]
Military[edit]
Edmonton is home to 1 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group (1 CMBG), the Regular Fo
rce army brigade group of Land Force Western Area of the Canadian Army. Units in
1 CMBG include Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians), 1 Combat Engineer Reg
iment, two of the three regular force battalions of Princess Patricia's Canadian
Light Infantry, and various headquarters, service, and support elements. Althou
gh not part of 1 CMBG, 408 Tactical Helicopter Squadron and 1 Field Ambulance ar
e located with the brigade group. All of these units are located at Lancaster Pa
rk, immediately north of the city. From 1943, as CFB Namao (now CFB Edmonton/Edm
onton Garrison), it was a major air force base.[208] In 1996, all fixed-wing avi
ation units were transferred to CFB Cold Lake.
The Canadian Airborne Training Centre had been located in the city in the 1980s.
The move of 1 CMBG and component units from Calgary occurred in 1996 in what wa
s described as a cost-saving measure.[209] The brigade had existed in Calgary si
nce the 1950s, and Lord Strathcona's Horse had traditionally been a Calgary garr
ison unit dating back to before World War I.
Edmonton also has a large army reserve element from 41 Canadian Brigade Group (4
1 CBG), including The Loyal Edmonton Regiment (4th Battalion, Princess Patricia'
s Canadian Light Infantry); 41 Combat Engineer Regiment; HQ Battery, 20th Field
Artillery Regiment; and B Squadron of The South Alberta Light Horse, one of Albe
rta's oldest army reserve units. Despite being far from Canada's coasts, Edmonto
n is also the home of HMCS Nonsuch,[210] a naval reserve division. There are num
erous cadet corps[211] of the different elements (naval, army and air force) wit
hin Edmonton as well.

Canada.[26] The Edmonton International Airport (EIA) is the main airport serving
the city.
The EIA provides passenger service to destinations in the United States, Europe,
Mexico, and the Caribbean. The EIA is located within Leduc County, adjacent to
the City of Leduc and the Nisku Industrial Business Park. With direct air distan

rta's Industrial Heartland.
Inter-city rail passenger rail service is provided by Via Rail's premier train,
the Canadian, as it travels between Vancouver, British Columbia, and Toronto, On

on May 2, 2009.[220][221]
Scheduled LRT service began on April 23, 1978, with five extensions of the singl
e line completed since.[222] The original Edmonton line is considered to be the
first "modern" light rail line in North America (i.e., built from scratch, rathe
r than being an upgrade of an old system). It introduced the use of German-desig
ned rolling stock that subsequently became the standard light rail vehicle of th
e United States.[222] The Edmonton "proof-of-payment" fare collection system ado
pted in 1980
modelled after European ticket systems
became the North American tr
ansit industry's preferred approach for subsequent light rail projects.[223] The
four-year South LRT extension was opened in full on April 24, 2010, which sees
trains travelling to Century Park[224] (located at 23 Avenue and 111 Street), ma
king stops at South Campus and Southgate Centre along the way.[224] A line to th
e Northern Alberta Institute of Technology in north-central Edmonton using the s
ame high floor technology of the existing system opened September 6, 2015. Edmon
ton is also expanding the LRT to Mill Woods (the southeast) by 2020 and to Lewis
Farms (the west) thereafter using low floor technology.
Roads[edit]
Stony Plain Road looking towards downtown
A largely gridded system forms most of Edmonton's street and road network.[225]
The address system is mostly numbered, with streets running south to north and a
venues running east to west. In built-up areas built since the 1950s, local stre
ets and major roadways generally do not conform to the grid system. Major roadwa
ys include Kingsway, Yellowhead Trail (Highway 16), Whitemud Drive and Anthony H
enday Drive, and the city is connected to other communities elsewhere in Alberta
, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan via the Yellowhead Highway to the west and
east and the Queen Elizabeth II Highway (Alberta Highway 2) to the south.[226][2
27]

Trail system[edit]
There is an extensive multi-use trail system for bicycles and pedestrians throug
hout the city; however, most of this is within the river valley parkland system.
[228]
Electricity and water[edit]
EPCOR's former Rossdale Power Plant.
Edmonton's first power company established itself in 1891 and installed streetli
ghts along the city's main avenue, Jasper Avenue. The power company was bought b
y the Town of Edmonton in 1902 and remains under municipal ownership today as EP
COR. Also in charge of water treatment, in 2002 EPCOR installed the world's larg
est ultraviolet (UV) water treatment or ultraviolet disinfection system at its E
.L. Smith Water Treatment Plant.[229]
Waste disposal[edit]
The Edmonton Composting Facility, the largest of its type in the world, is also
the largest stainless steel building in North America.[230] By 2016, the city an
ticipates that it will divert more than 90 percent of the city's household waste
from the landfills.[230][231] Among the innovative uses for the city's waste in
cludes a Christmas tree recycling program. The trees are collected each January
and put through a woodchipper; this material is used as an addition to the compo
sting process. In addition, the wood chips absorb much of the odour produced by
the compost by providing a biofilter element to trap odour causing gaseous resul
ts of the process.[232]
Together, the Waste Management Centre and Wastewater Treatment plant are known a
s the Edmonton Waste Management Centre of Excellence. Research partners include
the University of Alberta, the Alberta Research Council, the Northern Alberta In
stitute of Technology, and Olds College.[233]
Health care[edit]
University Hospital Complex at the University of Alberta.
There are four main hospitals serving Edmonton: University of Alberta Hospital,
Royal Alexandra Hospital, Misericordia Community Hospital, and Grey Nuns Communi
ty Hospital.[234] Other area hospitals include Sturgeon Community Hospital in St
. Albert, Leduc Community Hospital in Leduc, Westview Health Centre in Stony Pla
in, and Fort Saskatchewan Community Hospital in Fort Saskatchewan. Dedicated psy
chiatric care is provided at the Alberta Hospital. The Northeast Community Healt
h Centre offers a 24-hour emergency room with no inpatient ward services. The Un
iversity of Alberta Hospital is the centre of a larger complex of hospitals and
clinics located adjacent to the university campus which comprises the Stollery C
hildren's Hospital, Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute, Cross Cancer Institute,
Zeidler Gastrointestinal Health Centre, Ledcor Clinical Training Centre, and Ed
monton Clinic. Several health research institutes, including the Heritage Medica
l Research Centre, Medical Sciences Building, Katz Group Centre for Pharmacy and
Health Research, and Li Ka Shing Centre for Health Research Innovation, are als
o located at this site. A similar set-up is also evident at the Royal Alexandra
Hospital, which is connected to the Lois Hole Hospital for Women and Orthopaedic
Surgery Centre. All hospitals are under the administration of Alberta Health Se
rvices, although Misericordia and Grey Nuns are run separately by Covenant Healt
h.[235]
Education[edit]
Entryway to MacEwan University's downtown campus.
Secondary[edit]
Edmonton has three publicly funded school boards (districts) that provide kinder
garten and grades 1 12. The vast majority of students attend schools in the two la

rge English language boards: Edmonton Public Schools, and the separate Edmonton
Catholic School District.[236] Also, since 1994, the Francophone minority commun
ity has had their own school board based in Edmonton, the Greater North Central
Francophone Education Region No. 2, which includes surrounding communities. The
city also has a number of public charter schools that are independent of any boa
rd. All three school boards and public charter schools are funded through provin
cial grants and property taxes.
Some private schools exist as well, including Edmonton Academy,[237] Progressive
Academy[238] and Tempo School.[239] The Edmonton Society for Christian Educatio
n[240] and Millwoods Christian School (not part of the former) used to be privat
e schools; however, both have become part of Edmonton Public Schools as alternat
ive programs.[241][242]
Both the Edmonton Public Schools and the Edmonton Catholic School District provi
de support and resources for those wishing to homeschool their children.[243]
Post-secondary[edit]
Those post-secondary institutions based in Edmonton that are publicly funded inc
lude Concordia University College of Alberta, MacEwan University, The King's Uni
versity College, NorQuest College, the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology
(NAIT) and the University of Alberta (U of A).[244] The publicly funded Athabasc
a University and the University of Lethbridge[244] also have campuses in Edmonto
n.[245][246]
The U of A is a board-governed institution[247] that has an annual revenue of ov
er one billion dollars.[248] In 2011/12, the university had over 38,000 students
enrolled within nearly 400 undergraduate, graduate and professional programs, a
s well as over 15,000 students enrolled in its faculty of extension.[249] The U
of A is also home to the second-largest research library system in Canada.[250]
In 2010/11, MacEwan University had a total student population of over 43,000 stu
dents, including nearly 14,000 full-time students, enrolled in programs offering
bachelor's degrees, university transfers, diplomas and certificates.[251] NAIT
has an approximate total of 61,200 students enrolled in more than 200 programs[2
52] while NorQuest College has approximately 8,500 students enrolled in various
full-time, part-time and continuing education programs.[253]
Other post-secondary institutions within Edmonton include Taylor University Coll
ege and Seminary[254] and Yellowhead Tribal College, a First Nations college.[25
5]
Media[edit]
Main article: Media in Edmonton
Edmonton has seven local broadcast television stations shown on basic cable TV o
r over-the-air, with the oldest broadcasters in the city being CTV (1961) and CB
C (1954).[256] Most of Edmonton's conventional television stations have made the
switch to over-the-air digital broadcasting. The cable television providers in
Edmonton are Telus (for IPTV) and Shaw Cable. Twenty-one FM and eight AM radio s
tations are based in Edmonton.[257]
Edmonton has two large-circulation daily newspapers, the Edmonton Journal and th
e Edmonton Sun. The Journal, established in 1903 and owned by the Postmedia Netw
ork, has a daily circulation of 112,000, while the Sun, established in 1978 and
owned by Sun Media, has a circulation of 55,000.[258] The Journal no longer publ
ishes a Sunday edition as of July 2012.[259]
There is one free daily newspaper in the city, Metro.[260] The magazine Vue Week
ly is published on a weekly basis and focuses on alternative news.[261] The Edmo
nton Examiner is a city-wide community based paper also published weekly.[262] T

here are also a number of smaller weekly and community newspapers.

Edmonton Listeni/'?dm?nt?n/ is the capital of Alberta, Canada. Edmonton is on th

e North Saskatchewan River and is the centre of the Edmonton Capital Region, whi
ch is surrounded by Alberta's central region.
The city had a population of 877,926 in the 2014 census,[11] is Alberta's second
-largest city and Canada's fifth-largest municipality. This population represent
s 66 percent of the total 2014 population of 1,328,300[12] within the Edmonton c
ensus metropolitan area (CMA), Canada's fifth-largest CMA by population. Edmonto
n is the most northern North American city with a metropolitan population over o
ne million. A resident of Edmonton is known as an Edmontonian.[13]
Edmonton's historic growth has been facilitated through the absorption of five a
djacent urban municipalities (Strathcona, North Edmonton, West Edmonton, Beverly
and Jasper Place)[14] and a series of annexations ending in 1982.[15] Edmonton
serves as the northern anchor of the Calgary Edmonton Corridor.[16] Known as the "
Gateway to the North",[17] the city is a staging point for large-scale oil sands
projects occurring in northern Alberta and large-scale diamond mining operation
s in the Northwest Territories.[18]
Edmonton is a cultural, governmental and educational centre. It hosts a year-rou
nd slate of festivals, reflected in the nickname "Canada's Festival City".[1] It
is home to North America's largest mall, West Edmonton Mall (the world's larges
t mall from 1981 until 2004),[19] and Fort Edmonton Park, Canada's largest livin
g history museum.[20]

History[edit]
Further information: History of Edmonton and Timeline of Edmonton history
The earliest known inhabitants settled in the area that is now Edmonton around 3
,000 BC and perhaps as early as 12,000 BC, when an ice-free corridor opened up a
s the last glacial period ended and timber, water, and wildlife became available
in the region.[21]

In 1754, Anthony Henday, an explorer working for the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC),
may have been the first European to enter the Edmonton area.[22] His expedition
s across the Canadian Prairies were mainly to seek contact with the aboriginal p
opulation for the purpose of establishing the fur trade, as competition was fier
ce between the Hudson's Bay Company and the North West Company. By 1795, Fort Ed
monton was established on the north bank of the river, as a major trading post f
or the Hudson's Bay Company.[23] The name of the new fort was suggested by John
Peter Pruden after Edmonton, London, the home town of both the HBC deputy govern
or Sir James Winter Lake, and Pruden.
The coming of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) to southern Alberta in 1885 hel
ped the Edmonton economy, and the 1891 building of the Calgary and Edmonton (C&E
) Railway resulted in the emergence of a railway townsite (South Edmonton/Strath
cona) on the south side of the river, across from Edmonton. The arrival of the C
PR and the C&E Railway facilitated the arrival of settlers and entrepreneurs fro
m eastern Canada, Britain and continental Europe, U.S. and other parts of the wo
rld. The fertile soil and cheap land in the Edmonton area helped attract settler
s, further establishing Edmonton as a major regional commercial and agricultural
centre. Some people participating in the Klondike Gold Rush passed through Sout
h Edmonton/Strathcona in 1897. Strathcona was the northernmost railway point in
North America, but travel to the Klondike was still very difficult for the "Klon
dikers", and a majority of them took a steamship north to the Yukon from Vancouv
er.[24]
Jasper Avenue in Edmonton, ca.1907
Incorporated as a town in 1892 with a population of 700 and then as a city in 19
04 with a population of 8,350,[25] Edmonton became the capital of Alberta when t
he province was formed a year later, on September 1, 1905.[26] In November 1905,
the Canadian Northern Railway (CNR) arrived in Edmonton, accelerating growth.[2
7]
During the early 1900s, Edmonton grew very rapidly, causing speculation in real
estate. In 1912, Edmonton amalgamated with the City of Strathcona, south of the
North Saskatchewan River; as a result, the city extended south of the North Sask
atchewan River for the first time.[28]
Just prior to World War I, the boom ended, and the city's population declined sh
arply from more than 72,000 in 1914 to less than 54,000 only two years later.[29
] Many impoverished families moved to subsistence farms outside the city and oth
ers fled to greener pastures in other provinces.[30] Recruitment to the Canadian
army during the war also contributed to the drop in population.[31] Afterwards,
the city slowly recovered in population and economy during the 1920s and 1930s
and took off again during and after World War II.
The Edmonton City Centre Airport opened in 1929,[32] becoming the first licensed
airfield in Canada.[33] Originally named Blatchford Field in honour of former m
ayor Kenny Blatchford, pioneering aviators such as Wilfrid R. "Wop" May and Max
Ward used Blatchford Field as a major base for the distribution of mail, food, a
nd medicine to Northern Canada; hence Edmonton's emergence as the "Gateway to th
e North". World War II saw Edmonton becoming a major base for the construction o
f the Alaska Highway and the Northwest Staging Route.[34]
Geography[edit]
Edmonton is located on the North Saskatchewan River, and sits at an elevation of
671 metres (2,201 ft).[26] Edmonton is the most northerly city in North America
with a metropolitan population of over one million. It is at the same latitude
as Hamburg (Germany), Dublin (Ireland), Manchester (United Kingdom), and Magnito
gorsk (Russia). North as it is, it is south of the geographic centre of Alberta,

which is located near the Hamlet of Fort Assiniboine.[35] The terrain in and ar
ound Edmonton is generally flat to gently rolling, with ravines and deep river v
alleys, such as the North Saskatchewan River valley.[36] The Canadian Rockies ar
e located about 220 km (140 mi) to the southwest.
The North Saskatchewan River originates at the Columbia Icefield in Jasper Natio
nal Park and bisects the city. Before the construction of two reservoirs near th
e mountains, it would sometimes flood Edmonton's river valley, most notably in t
he North Saskatchewan River flood of 1915. It empties via the Saskatchewan River
, Lake Winnipeg, and the Nelson River into Hudson Bay.[37] It runs from the sout
hwest to the northeast and is fed by numerous creeks throughout the city, such a
s Mill Creek, Whitemud Creek and Blackmud Creek; this creates numerous ravines,
some of which are used for urban parkland.[38] Edmonton is situated at the bound
ary between prairie to the south and boreal forest to the north, in a transition
al area known as aspen parkland. However, the aspen woods and forests in and aro
und Edmonton have long since been reduced by farming and other human activities,
such as oil and natural gas exploration.[39]
Climate[edit]
Edmonton has a humid continental climate (Kppen climate classification Dfb)[40] w
ith relatively low precipitation, and falls into the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 4
a.[41]
The city has milder winters than either Regina[42] or Winnipeg,[43] both further
south of Edmonton in latitude. Its average daily temperatures range from a low
of -10.4 C (13.3 F) in January to a summer peak of 17.7 C (63.9 F) in July.[44] With
average maximum of 23.1 C (73.6 F) in July, and minimum of -14.8 C (5.4 F) in Janua
ry.[45] Annually, temperatures can exceed 30 C (86 F) for an average of four to fi
ve days anytime from late April to mid-September and fall below -20 C (-4 F) for a
n average of 28 days. The highest temperature recorded within the City of Edmont
on was 37.2 C (99.0 F), on June 29, 1937. [46] On July 2, 2013, a record high humi
dex of 43 C (109.4 F) was recorded, due to an unusually humid day with an air temp
erature of 33.9 C (93.0 F) and a record high dewpoint of 23 C (73.4 F). [47][48] The
lowest overall temperature ever recorded in Edmonton was -49.4 C (-56.9 F), on Ja
nuary 19 and 21, 1886.[49]
Typically, summer lasts from late June until early September, and the humidity i
s seldom uncomfortably high. Winter lasts from November to March, and varies gre
atly in length and severity. Spring and autumn are both short and highly variabl
e. Edmonton's growing season is from May 7 to September 23;[50] Edmonton average
s 140 frost free days a year.[51] At the summer solstice, Edmonton receives seve
nteen hours and three minutes of daylight, with an hour and forty-six minutes of
civil twilight.[52] On average Edmonton receives 2,299 hours of bright sunshine
[53] per year and is one of Canada's sunniest cities.[44]
The summer of 2006 was a particularly warm one for Edmonton, as temperatures rea
ched 29 C (84 F) or higher more than 20 times during the year, from as early as mi
d-May and again in early September. The winter of 2011 12 was particularly warm; f
rom December 22, 2011, till March 20, 2012, Edmonton saw temperatures at or abov
e 0.0 C (32.00 F) 53 times at the City Centre Airport.[54][55][56][57]
Edmonton has a fairly dry climate. On average, it receives 476.9 millimetres (18
.78 in) of precipitation, of which 365.7 millimetres (14.40 in) is rain and 111.
2 millimetres (4.38 in) is the melt from 123.5 centimetres (48.6 in) of snowfall
per annum.[44] Precipitation is heaviest in the late spring, summer, and early
autumn. The wettest month is July, while the driest months are February, March,
October, and November.[44] In July, the mean precipitation is 91.7 mm (3.61 in).
[44] Dry spells are not uncommon and may occur at any time of the year. Extremes
do occur, such as the 114 mm (4.49 in) of rainfall that fell on July 31, 1953.[
44] Summer thunderstorms can be frequent and occasionally severe enough to produ

ce large hail, damaging winds, funnel clouds, and even tornadoes. The F4 tornado
that struck Edmonton on July 31, 1987, killing 27, was unusual in many respects
, including severity, duration, damage, and casualties.[citation needed] It is c
ommonly referred to as Black Friday due both to its aberrant characteristics and
the emotional shock it generated.[58] Then-mayor Laurence Decore cited the comm
unity's response to the tornado as evidence that Edmonton was a "city of champio
ns," which later became an unofficial slogan of the city.[1][59]
A massive cluster of thunderstorms occurred on July 11, 2004, with large hail an
d over 100 mm (4 in) of rain reported within the space of an hour in many places
.[60] This "1-in-200 year event" flooded major intersections and underpasses and
damaged both residential and commercial properties. The storm caused extensive
damage to West Edmonton Mall; a small glass section of the roof collapsed under
the weight of the rainwater, causing water to drain onto the mall's indoor ice r
ink. As a result, the mall was forced to undergo an evacuation as a precautionar
y measure.[61]

Parkland and environment[edit]

Streambed in Hawrelak Park
Edmonton's river valley constitutes the longest stretch of connected urban parkl
and in North America, and Edmonton has the highest amount of parkland per capita
of any Canadian city; the river valley is 22 times larger than New York City's
Central Park.[63] The river valley is home to various parks ranging from fully s
erviced urban parks to campsite-like facilities with few amenities. This main "R
ibbon of Green" is supplemented by numerous neighbourhood parks located througho
ut the city, to give a total of 111 km2 (27,400 acres) of parkland.[63] Within t
he 7,400 ha (18,000 acres), 25 km (16 mi)-long river valley park system, there a
re 11 lakes, 14 ravines, and 22 major parks, and most of the city has accessible
bike and walking trail connections.[64] These trails are also part of the 235 k
m (146 mi) Waskahegan walking trail. The City of Edmonton has named five parks i
n its River Valley Parks System in honour of each of "The Famous Five".[65]
Edmonton's streets and parklands also contain one of the largest remaining conce
ntrations of healthy American elm trees in the world, unaffected by Dutch elm di
sease, which has wiped out vast numbers of such trees in eastern North America.
Jack pine, lodgepole pine, white spruce, white birch, aspen, mountain ash, Amur
maple, Russian olive, green ash, basswood, various poplars and willows, flowerin
g crabapple, Mayday tree and Manitoba maple are also abundant; bur oak, silver m
aple, hawthorn and Ohio buckeye are increasingly popular. Other introduced tree
species include white ash, blue spruce, Norway maple, red oak, sugar maple, comm
bu
on horse-chestnut, McIntosh apple, and Evans cherry.[66] Three walnut species
tternut, Manchurian walnut, and black walnut have survived in Edmonton.[67]
Several golf courses, both public and private, are also located in the river val
ley; the long summer daylight hours of this northern city provide for extended p
lay from early morning well into the evening.[68] Golf courses and the park syst
em become a winter recreation area during this season, and cross-country skiing
and skating are popular during the long winter. Four downhill ski slopes are loc
ated in the river valley as well, two within the city and two immediately outsid
e.[69]
A variety of volunteer opportunities exist for citizens to participate in the st
ewardship of Edmonton's parkland and river valley. Volunteer programs include Ri
ver Valley Clean-up, Root for Trees, and Partner in Parks.[70] River Valley Clea

n-up engages volunteers to pick up hundreds of bags of litter each year.


Neighbourhoods[edit]

Edmonton is divided into 375 neighbourhoods[71] within 7 geographic sectors
a ma
ture area sector, which includes neighbourhoods that were essentially built out
prior to 1970,[72] and 6 surrounding suburban sectors.[73]
Edmonton's Downtown is located within the city's mature area or inner city.[73]
It and the surrounding Boyle Street, Central McDougall, Cloverdale, Garneau, McC
auley, Oliver, Queen Mary Park, Riverdale, Rossdale, Strathcona and University o
f Alberta form Edmonton's Central Core.[72] Oliver and Garneau are the city's mo
st populated and most densely populated neighbourhoods respectively. The mature
area sector also contains the five former urban municipalities annexed by the ci
ty over its history Beverly, Jasper Place, North Edmonton, Strathcona and West E
dmonton (Calder).[15][73]
Larger residential areas within Edmonton's six suburban sectors,[73] each compri
sing multiple neighbourhoods,[74] include: Heritage Valley, Kaskitayo, Riverbend
, Terwillegar Heights and Windermere (southwest sector); The Grange, Lewis Farms
and West Jasper Place (west sector); Big Lake (northwest sector); Castle Downs,
Lake District and The Palisades (north sector); Casselman-Steele Heights, Clare
view, Hermitage and Pilot Sound (northeast sector); and Ellerslie, The Meadows,
Mill Woods and Southeast Edmonton (southeast sector).[75] Mill Woods is divided
into a town centre community (Mill Woods Town Centre)[76] and eight surrounding
communities[77] Burnewood, Knottwood, Lakewood, Millbourne, Millhurst, Ridgewood
, Southwood, and Woodvale[78][79]
each having between two to four neighbourhoods
.[74]
Several transit-oriented developments (TOD) have begun to appear along the LRT l
ine at Clareview, with future developments planned at Belvedere (part of the Old
Town Fort Road Redevelopment Project).[80] Another TOD, called Century Park,[81
] is being constructed at the site of what was once Heritage Mall, at the southe
rn end of the LRT line. Century Park will eventually house up to 5,000 residents
.[82]
The Edmonton City Centre Airport is planned to be redeveloped into a sustainable
community of 30,000 people comprising a transit-oriented mixed use town centre,
townhouses, low, medium and high rise apartments, neighbourhood retail and serv
ice uses, and a major park.[83]
Edmonton has four major industrial districts the Northwest Industrial District,
the Northeast Industrial District, the Southeast Industrial District and the eme
rging Edmonton Energy and Technology Park,[84] which is part of Alberta's Indust
rial Heartland.[85] The northwest, northeast and southeast districts each have s
maller industrial areas and neighbourhoods within them.[74][84]

Metropolitan area[edit]
Main article: Edmonton Capital Region
Edmonton is at the centre of Canada's sixth largest census metropolitan area (CM

A),[5] which includes Edmonton and 34 other municipalities in the surrounding ar


ea.[87] Larger urban communities include Sherwood Park (an urban service area wi
thin Strathcona County), the cities of St. Albert, Leduc, Spruce Grove and Fort
Saskatchewan, and the towns of Stony Plain, Beaumont, Morinville, and Devon.[88]
Major employment areas outside of Edmonton but within the CMA include the Nisku
Industrial Business Park and the Edmonton International Airport (including a pl
anned inland port logistics support facility in support of the Port Alberta init
iative)[89] in Leduc County, the Acheson Industrial Area in Parkland County, Ref
inery Row in Strathcona County and Alberta's Industrial Heartland[90] within por
tions of Fort Saskatchewan, Strathcona County and Sturgeon County.[91] Alberta's
Industrial Heartland also extends beyond the CMA's northeastern boundary[16] in
to a portion of Lamont County.[91]
The individual economic development interests and costs of service delivery in c
ertain municipalities within the region has led to intermunicipal competition, s
trained intermunicipal relationships and overall fragmentation of the region. Al
though several attempts have been made by the City of Edmonton to absorb surroun
ding municipalities[92] or annex portions of its neighbours,[93] the city has no
t absorbed another municipality since the Town of Jasper Place joined Edmonton o
n August 17, 1964[94] and the city has not annexed land from any of its neighbou
rs since January 1, 1982.[95] After years of mounting pressure in the early 21st
century, the Province of Alberta formed the Capital Region Board (CRB) on April
22 of which are with
15, 2008.[96] The CRB consists of 24 member municipalities
in the Edmonton CMA and two of which are outside the CMA. The City of Edmonton s
ubsequently announced in March 2013 its intent to annex 156 square kilometers of
land (including the Edmonton International Airport) from Leduc County.[97]

Edmonton is the major economic centre for northern and central Alberta and a maj
or centre for the oil and gas industry. As of 2014, the estimated value of major
projects within the Edmonton Capital Region was $57.8-billion, of which $34.4-b
illion are within the oil and gas, oil sands and pipeline sectors.[138]

Edmonton traditionally has been a hub for Albertan petrochemical industries, ear
ning it the nickname "Oil Capital of Canada" in the 1940s.[139] Supply and servi
ce industries drive the energy extraction engine, while research develops new te
chnologies and supports expanded value-added processing of Alberta's massive oil
, gas, and oil sands reserves. These are reported to be the second-largest in th
e world, after Saudi Arabia.[140]
Image looking up at the National Institute for Nanotechnology
The National Institute for Nanotechnology
Much of the growth in technology sectors is due to Edmonton's reputation as one
of Canada s premier research and education centres. Research initiatives are ancho
red by educational institutions such as the University of Alberta (U of A) as we
ll as government initiatives underway at the Alberta Research Council and Edmont
on Research Park. The U of A campus is home to the National Institute for Nanote
chnology.[141]
During the 1970s and 1980s, Edmonton became a major financial centre, with both
regional offices of Canada's major banks and locally based institutions opening.
[142] However, the turmoil of the late-1980s economy radically changed the situa
tion. Locally based operations such as Principal Trust and Canadian Commercial B
ank[143] would fail, and some regional offices were moved to other cities. The 1
990s saw a solidification of the economy, and Edmonton is now home to Canadian W
estern Bank, the only publicly traded Schedule I chartered bank headquarters wes
t of Toronto.[144] Other major financial centres include ATB Financial, Servus C
redit Union (formerly Capital City Savings), TD Canada Trust and Manulife Financ
ial.[145]
Edmonton has been the birthplace of several companies that have grown to interna
tional stature.[146] The local retail market has also seen the creation of many
successful store concepts, such as The Brick, Katz Group, AutoCanada, Boston Piz
za, Pizza 73, Liquor Stores GP (which includes Liquor Depot, Liquor Barn, OK Liq
uor, and Grapes & Grains), Planet Organic, Shaw Communications, Empire Design, R
unning Room, Booster Juice, Earl's, Fountain Tire and XS Cargo.[147]
Edmonton's geographical location has made it an ideal spot for distribution and
logistics. CN Rail's North American operational facility is located in the city,
as well as a major intermodal facility that handles all incoming freight from t
he port of Prince Rupert in British Columbia.[148]
Retail[edit]
West Edmonton Mall.
Edmonton is home to several shopping malls, including Canada's first mall, Westm
ount Centre; and the largest mall in North America, West Edmonton Mall, which is
also considered to be the 10th largest mall in the world.[149][150] Other menti
onable malls include Bonnie Doon Shopping Centre, Edmonton City Centre (a combin
ation of the former Edmonton Centre and Eaton Centre malls), Southgate Centre, K
ingsway Mall, Northgate Centre, Abbotsfield Mall, Londonderry Mall, and Mill Woo
ds Town Centre.[151]

Edmonton also has many big box shopping centres and power centres. Some of the m
ajor ones include South Edmonton Common (North America's largest open air retail
development),[152] Skyview Power Centre, Terra Losa Centre, Oliver Square, Sout
hpark Centre, The Meadows, Christy's Corner, and Westpoint. In 2008, constructio
n started on the Windermere power centre.[153]
In contrast to suburban centres, Edmonton has many urban retail locations. The l
argest of them all, Old Strathcona, includes many independent stores between 99
Street and 109 Street on Whyte Avenue and area.[154] In around the downtown of E
dmonton, there are a small handful of shopping districts, such as previously men
tioned Edmonton City Centre mall, Jasper Avenue and 104 Street. Near Oliver, 124
Street is home to a significant number of retail stores. Edmonton is the Canadi
an testing-ground for many American retailers, such as Bath & Body Works and Cal
vin Klein.[155]

The Francis Winspear Centre for Music
The Francis Winspear Centre for Music[156] was opened in 1997 after years of pla
nning and fundraising.[157] Described as one of the most acoustically perfect co
ncert halls in Canada, it is home to the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra and hosts a
wide variety of shows every year. It seats 1,932 patrons and houses the $3-mill
ion Davis Concert Organ, the largest concert organ in Canada.[158] Across 102 Av
enue is the Citadel Theatre, named after The Salvation Army Citadel in which Joe
Shoctor first started the Citadel Theatre Company in 1965. It is now one of the
largest theatre complexes in Canada, with five halls, each specializing in diff
erent kinds of productions.[159] On the University of Alberta grounds is the 2,5
34-seat Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium, which were undertaken over a year o
f heavy renovations carried out as part of the province's 2005 centennial celebr
ations. Both it and its southern twin in Calgary were constructed in 1955 for th
e province's golden jubilee and have hosted many concerts, musicals, and ballets
. The Edmonton Opera uses the Jubilee as its base of operations. On the front of
the building is a quote from Suetonius' Life of Augustus: "He found a city buil
t of brick
left it built of marble."
The Old Strathcona neighbourhood is home to the Theatre District, which holds th
e ATB Financial Arts Barns (headquarters of the Edmonton International Fringe Fe
stival), The Walterdale Playhouse, Catalyst Theatre, and the Varscona Theatre (b
ase of operations for several theatre companies, including Teatro la Quindicina,
Shadow Theatre, Die-Nasty, and Oh Susanna!). Edmonton was named cultural capita
l of Canada in 2007.[160][161] The Ukrainian Dnipro Ensemble of Edmonton, along
with other Ukrainian choirs such as the Ukrainian Male Chorus of Edmonton, helps
preserve the Ukrainian musical culture within the parameters of the Canadian mu
lticultural identity in Edmonton.[162]

airways, music, trade shows, and daily fireworks.[165]
Since 1960, the Sourdough Raft Races have also been a popular event.[166] Later

There are many museums in Edmonton of various sizes.[173] The largest is the Roy
al Alberta Museum (RAM), which was formerly known as the Provincial Museum of Al
berta until it was renamed in honour of Queen Elizabeth II's 2005 Alberta centen
nial visit. The RAM houses over 10 million objects in its collection and showcas
es the culture and practices of the diverse aboriginal tribes of the region. The
main building, overlooking the river valley west of the city centre in the Glen
ora neighbourhood, was opened in 1967 and is now in the early stages of large-sc
ale redevelopment.[174]
The Telus World of Science is located in the Woodcroft neighbourhood northwest o
f the city centre. It opened in 1984 and has since been expanded several times.
It contains five permanent galleries, one additional gallery for temporary exhib
its, an IMAX theatre, a planetarium, an observatory, and an amateur radio statio
n. The Edmonton Valley Zoo is in the river valley to the southwest of the city c
entre.[175]
The Alberta Aviation Museum, located in a hangar at the City Centre Airport, was
built for the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. Its collection includes b

orical Centre is a telephone museum also located in the Prince of Wales Armourie
s Heritage Centre in central Edmonton. In addition to a collection of artifacts
tracing the history of the telephone, the museum has its own theatre featuring a
brief film led by the robot Xeldon.[176]
The Alberta Railway Museum[177] is located in the rural northeast portion of the
city. It contains a variety of locomotives and railroad cars from different per
iods, and includes a working steam locomotive. Since most of its exhibits are ou
tdoors, it is only open between Victoria Day and Labour Day.
Fort Edmonton Park, Canada's largest living history museum, is located in the ri
ver valley southwest of the city centre. Edmonton's heritage is displayed throug
h historical buildings (many of which are originals moved to the park), costumed
historical interpreters, and authentic artifacts. In total, it covers the regio
n's history from approximately 1795 to 1929 (represented by Fort Edmonton), foll
owed chronologically by 1885, 1905, and 1920 streets, and a recreation of a 1920
s midway. A steam train, streetcars, automobiles and horse-drawn vehicles may be
seen in operation (and utilized by the public) around the park. The John Walter
Museum and Historical Area (c. 1875 to 1901) is on the Canadian Register of His
toric Places.[178] The University of Alberta operates its own internal Museums a
nd Collections service.[179]
The Art Gallery of Alberta (AGA) is the city's largest single gallery. Formerly
housed in an inconspicuous 1970s building downtown, the AGA collection had over
5,000 pieces of art. The former AGA building was demolished in July 2007 to make
way for construction of a new facility designed by Randall Stout. It was estima
ted to cost over $88-million and the amount that Edmonton City Council donated t
owards its construction was met with some controversy. The AGA officially opened
on January 31, 2010.[180] Independent galleries can be found throughout the cit
y, especially along the 124 Street/Jasper Avenue corridor, known as the "gallery
walk".[181]
Music[edit]
Further information: List of musicians from Edmonton
In the city's early days, music was performed in churches and community halls. E
dmonton has a history of opera and classical music performance; both genres hist
orically have been supported by a variety of clubs and associations. Edmonton's
first major radio station, CKUA, began broadcasting music in 1927.[182] The city
is a centre for music instruction; the University of Alberta began its music de
partment in 1945, and MacEwan University opened a jazz and musical theatre progr
am in 1980. Festivals of jazz, folk, and classical music are popular entertainme
nt events in the city.[183]
The Edmonton Symphony Orchestra has existed under various incarnations since 191
3. In 1952, the Edmonton Philharmonic and the Edmonton Pops orchestras amalgamat
ed to form the 60-member modern version. The Orchestra performs at the Francis W

the area through the establishment of a business revitalization zone has produce
d an area rich with restored historical buildings and pleasant streetscapes.[86]
Its proximity to the University of Alberta has led to a high number of establis
hments ranging from restaurants and pubs to trendy clubs while hosting a wide va

independent movie theatres: the Garneau and Princess theatres, as well as severa
l live theatre, music, and comedy venues.[189]
Downtown Edmonton has undergone a continual process of renewal and growth since
the mid-1990s. Many buildings were demolished during the oil boom, starting in t
he 1960s and continuing into the 1980s, to make way for office towers. As such,
there have always been numerous pub-type establishments, as well as many hotel l
ounges and restaurants. The past decade has seen a strong resurgence in more mai
nstream venues. Edmonton also has a high demand for pub crawl tours in the city.
Various clubs are also to be found along Edmonton's main street, Jasper Avenue.
The Edmonton City Centre mall also houses an Empire Theatres movie theatre, fea
turing nine screens. The nonprofit Metro Cinema[190] shows a variety of alternat
ive or otherwise unreleased films every week.

Government[edit]
Matthew McCauley, first mayor of Edmonton
In 1892 Edmonton was incorporated as a town. The first mayor was Matthew McCaule
y, who established the first school board in Edmonton and Board of Trade (later

Chamber of Commerce) and a municipal police service.[198] Due to mayor McCauley'


s good relationship with the federal Liberals this helped Edmonton to maintain p
olitical prominence over Strathcona, a rival settlement on the south bank of the
North Saskatchewan River.[198] Edmonton was incorporated as a city in 1904 and
became the capital of Alberta in 1905.
Unions and radical organizations such as the Industrial Workers of the World str
uggled for progressive social change through the early years, with the first ref
ormer, James East, being elected in 1912, followed by the first official Labour
alderman, James Kinney, the following year. Many thousands of workers participat
ed in the Edmonton general strike of 1919 and a strong block of Labour represent
atives were on council after the next election: James Kinney, James East, Sam Mc
Coppen, Joe Clarke and Rice Sheppard.
Labour representation on city council would become a near-majority in 1929, and,
during the Great Depression, a full majority from 1932 to 1934.[199] Jan Reimer
became the city's first female mayor, when she was elected in 1989.[200]

Municipal politics[edit]
Edmonton is represented by a mayor and 12 councillors one for each of the 12 wards
. On July 22, 2009 City Council adopted an electoral system that divides Edmonto
n into 12 wards, instead of the previous two for each of six wards. This system
came into effect with the following election in October 2010.[201] The most rece
nt election was held in October 2013, and elected members to a four-year term.
Provincial politics[edit]

ght.
Provincial Legislature of Alberta
Edmonton is the capital of the province of Alberta and holds all main provincial
areas of government such as the Provincial Legislature of Alberta. The Edmonton
region is represented by 20 MLAs, one for each provincial electoral district. M
any of these boundaries have been changed, adjusted and renamed while the city h
as grown.[202] In the current 29th Alberta Legislature all of Edmonton's distric
ts are represented by members from the governing Alberta New Democratic Party.[2
03] Six of these members are cabinet ministers while one of them is also the Pre
mier of Alberta, Rachel Notley.[204]
Crime[edit]
The city's police force, the Edmonton Police Service, was founded in 1892, and h
ad approximately 1,400 officers in 2012.[205] Edmonton experienced a decrease in
crime in the 1990s, an increase in the early 2000s,[206] and another downturn a
t the end of the decade.
The Edmonton census metropolitan area (CMA) had a crime severity index of 84.5 i
n 2013, which is higher the national average of 68.7.[207] Its crime severity in
dex was the fifth-highest among CMAs in Canada behind Regina, Saskatoon, Kelowna
and Vancouver.[207] Edmonton had the fourth-most homicides in 2013 at 27.[207]
Military[edit]
Edmonton is home to 1 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group (1 CMBG), the Regular Fo
rce army brigade group of Land Force Western Area of the Canadian Army. Units in
1 CMBG include Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians), 1 Combat Engineer Reg
iment, two of the three regular force battalions of Princess Patricia's Canadian
Light Infantry, and various headquarters, service, and support elements. Althou
gh not part of 1 CMBG, 408 Tactical Helicopter Squadron and 1 Field Ambulance ar
e located with the brigade group. All of these units are located at Lancaster Pa

rk, immediately north of the city. From 1943, as CFB Namao (now CFB Edmonton/Edm
onton Garrison), it was a major air force base.[208] In 1996, all fixed-wing avi
ation units were transferred to CFB Cold Lake.
The Canadian Airborne Training Centre had been located in the city in the 1980s.
The move of 1 CMBG and component units from Calgary occurred in 1996 in what wa
s described as a cost-saving measure.[209] The brigade had existed in Calgary si
nce the 1950s, and Lord Strathcona's Horse had traditionally been a Calgary garr
ison unit dating back to before World War I.
Edmonton also has a large army reserve element from 41 Canadian Brigade Group (4
1 CBG), including The Loyal Edmonton Regiment (4th Battalion, Princess Patricia'
s Canadian Light Infantry); 41 Combat Engineer Regiment; HQ Battery, 20th Field
Artillery Regiment; and B Squadron of The South Alberta Light Horse, one of Albe
rta's oldest army reserve units. Despite being far from Canada's coasts, Edmonto
n is also the home of HMCS Nonsuch,[210] a naval reserve division. There are num
erous cadet corps[211] of the different elements (naval, army and air force) wit
hin Edmonton as well.
Infrastructure[edit]
Transportation[edit]
Main article: Transportation in Edmonton
Aviation[edit]
Edmonton International Airport's South Terminal.
See also: List of airports in the Edmonton Capital Region
Edmonton is a major air transportation gateway to northern Alberta and northern
Canada.[26] The Edmonton International Airport (EIA) is the main airport serving
the city.
The EIA provides passenger service to destinations in the United States, Europe,
Mexico, and the Caribbean. The EIA is located within Leduc County, adjacent to
the City of Leduc and the Nisku Industrial Business Park. With direct air distan
ces from Edmonton to places such as London in Europe being shorter than to other
main airports in western North America,[212] Edmonton Airports is working to es
tablish a major container shipping hub called Port Alberta.[213]
Rail[edit]
Edmonton serves as a major transportation hub for Canadian National Railway, who
se North American operations management centre is located at their Edmonton offi
ces. It is also tied into the Canadian Pacific Railway network, which provides s
ervice from Calgary to the south and extends northeast of Edmonton to serve Albe
rta's Industrial Heartland.
Inter-city rail passenger rail service is provided by Via Rail's premier train,
the Canadian, as it travels between Vancouver, British Columbia, and Toronto, On
tario. Passenger trains stop at the Edmonton railway station three days a week i
n both directions. The train connects Edmonton to multiple stops in British Colu
mbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario.[214]
Public transit[edit]
Bay/Enterprise Square LRT station
The Edmonton Transit System (ETS) is the city's public transit agency, operating
the Edmonton Light Rail Transit (LRT) line as well as a fleet of buses.[215] Ap
proximately one-third of people in the Edmonton Capital Region (mostly from Edmo
nton proper) use ETS per day (354,440[216][217] out of 1,034,945[218]). There ar
e approximately 280,000 ETS bus riders on average per day.[216]
From the 1990s to early 2009, Edmonton was one of two cities in Canada still ope

rating trolley buses, along with Vancouver. On June 18, 2008, City Council decid
ed to abandon the Edmonton trolley bus system[219] and the last trolley bus ran
on May 2, 2009.[220][221]
Scheduled LRT service began on April 23, 1978, with five extensions of the singl
e line completed since.[222] The original Edmonton line is considered to be the
first "modern" light rail line in North America (i.e., built from scratch, rathe
r than being an upgrade of an old system). It introduced the use of German-desig
ned rolling stock that subsequently became the standard light rail vehicle of th
e United States.[222] The Edmonton "proof-of-payment" fare collection system ado
pted in 1980
modelled after European ticket systems
became the North American tr
ansit industry's preferred approach for subsequent light rail projects.[223] The
four-year South LRT extension was opened in full on April 24, 2010, which sees
trains travelling to Century Park[224] (located at 23 Avenue and 111 Street), ma
king stops at South Campus and Southgate Centre along the way.[224] A line to th
e Northern Alberta Institute of Technology in north-central Edmonton using the s
ame high floor technology of the existing system opened September 6, 2015. Edmon
ton is also expanding the LRT to Mill Woods (the southeast) by 2020 and to Lewis
Farms (the west) thereafter using low floor technology.
Roads[edit]
Stony Plain Road looking towards downtown
A largely gridded system forms most of Edmonton's street and road network.[225]
The address system is mostly numbered, with streets running south to north and a
venues running east to west. In built-up areas built since the 1950s, local stre
ets and major roadways generally do not conform to the grid system. Major roadwa
ys include Kingsway, Yellowhead Trail (Highway 16), Whitemud Drive and Anthony H
enday Drive, and the city is connected to other communities elsewhere in Alberta
, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan via the Yellowhead Highway to the west and
east and the Queen Elizabeth II Highway (Alberta Highway 2) to the south.[226][2
27]
Trail system[edit]
There is an extensive multi-use trail system for bicycles and pedestrians throug
hout the city; however, most of this is within the river valley parkland system.
[228]
Electricity and water[edit]
EPCOR's former Rossdale Power Plant.
Edmonton's first power company established itself in 1891 and installed streetli
ghts along the city's main avenue, Jasper Avenue. The power company was bought b
y the Town of Edmonton in 1902 and remains under municipal ownership today as EP
COR. Also in charge of water treatment, in 2002 EPCOR installed the world's larg
est ultraviolet (UV) water treatment or ultraviolet disinfection system at its E
.L. Smith Water Treatment Plant.[229]
Waste disposal[edit]
The Edmonton Composting Facility, the largest of its type in the world, is also
the largest stainless steel building in North America.[230] By 2016, the city an
ticipates that it will divert more than 90 percent of the city's household waste
from the landfills.[230][231] Among the innovative uses for the city's waste in
cludes a Christmas tree recycling program. The trees are collected each January
and put through a woodchipper; this material is used as an addition to the compo
sting process. In addition, the wood chips absorb much of the odour produced by
the compost by providing a biofilter element to trap odour causing gaseous resul
ts of the process.[232]
Together, the Waste Management Centre and Wastewater Treatment plant are known a

s the Edmonton Waste Management Centre of Excellence. Research partners include


the University of Alberta, the Alberta Research Council, the Northern Alberta In
stitute of Technology, and Olds College.[233]
Health care[edit]
University Hospital Complex at the University of Alberta.
There are four main hospitals serving Edmonton: University of Alberta Hospital,
Royal Alexandra Hospital, Misericordia Community Hospital, and Grey Nuns Communi
ty Hospital.[234] Other area hospitals include Sturgeon Community Hospital in St
. Albert, Leduc Community Hospital in Leduc, Westview Health Centre in Stony Pla
in, and Fort Saskatchewan Community Hospital in Fort Saskatchewan. Dedicated psy
chiatric care is provided at the Alberta Hospital. The Northeast Community Healt
h Centre offers a 24-hour emergency room with no inpatient ward services. The Un
iversity of Alberta Hospital is the centre of a larger complex of hospitals and
clinics located adjacent to the university campus which comprises the Stollery C
hildren's Hospital, Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute, Cross Cancer Institute,
Zeidler Gastrointestinal Health Centre, Ledcor Clinical Training Centre, and Ed
monton Clinic. Several health research institutes, including the Heritage Medica
l Research Centre, Medical Sciences Building, Katz Group Centre for Pharmacy and
Health Research, and Li Ka Shing Centre for Health Research Innovation, are als
o located at this site. A similar set-up is also evident at the Royal Alexandra
Hospital, which is connected to the Lois Hole Hospital for Women and Orthopaedic
Surgery Centre. All hospitals are under the administration of Alberta Health Se
rvices, although Misericordia and Grey Nuns are run separately by Covenant Healt
h.[235]
Education[edit]
Entryway to MacEwan University's downtown campus.
Secondary[edit]
Edmonton has three publicly funded school boards (districts) that provide kinder
garten and grades 1 12. The vast majority of students attend schools in the two la
rge English language boards: Edmonton Public Schools, and the separate Edmonton
Catholic School District.[236] Also, since 1994, the Francophone minority commun
ity has had their own school board based in Edmonton, the Greater North Central
Francophone Education Region No. 2, which includes surrounding communities. The
city also has a number of public charter schools that are independent of any boa
rd. All three school boards and public charter schools are funded through provin
cial grants and property taxes.
Some private schools exist as well, including Edmonton Academy,[237] Progressive
Academy[238] and Tempo School.[239] The Edmonton Society for Christian Educatio
n[240] and Millwoods Christian School (not part of the former) used to be privat
e schools; however, both have become part of Edmonton Public Schools as alternat
ive programs.[241][242]
Both the Edmonton Public Schools and the Edmonton Catholic School District provi
de support and resources for those wishing to homeschool their children.[243]
Post-secondary[edit]
Those post-secondary institutions based in Edmonton that are publicly funded inc
lude Concordia University College of Alberta, MacEwan University, The King's Uni
versity College, NorQuest College, the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology
(NAIT) and the University of Alberta (U of A).[244] The publicly funded Athabasc
a University and the University of Lethbridge[244] also have campuses in Edmonto
n.[245][246]
The U of A is a board-governed institution[247] that has an annual revenue of ov
er one billion dollars.[248] In 2011/12, the university had over 38,000 students

enrolled within nearly 400 undergraduate, graduate and professional programs, a


s well as over 15,000 students enrolled in its faculty of extension.[249] The U
of A is also home to the second-largest research library system in Canada.[250]
In 2010/11, MacEwan University had a total student population of over 43,000 stu
dents, including nearly 14,000 full-time students, enrolled in programs offering
bachelor's degrees, university transfers, diplomas and certificates.[251] NAIT
has an approximate total of 61,200 students enrolled in more than 200 programs[2
52] while NorQuest College has approximately 8,500 students enrolled in various
full-time, part-time and continuing education programs.[253]
Other post-secondary institutions within Edmonton include Taylor University Coll
ege and Seminary[254] and Yellowhead Tribal College, a First Nations college.[25
5]
Media[edit]
Main article: Media in Edmonton
Edmonton has seven local broadcast television stations shown on basic cable TV o
r over-the-air, with the oldest broadcasters in the city being CTV (1961) and CB
C (1954).[256] Most of Edmonton's conventional television stations have made the
switch to over-the-air digital broadcasting. The cable television providers in
Edmonton are Telus (for IPTV) and Shaw Cable. Twenty-one FM and eight AM radio s
tations are based in Edmonton.[257]
Edmonton has two large-circulation daily newspapers, the Edmonton Journal and th
e Edmonton Sun. The Journal, established in 1903 and owned by the Postmedia Netw
ork, has a daily circulation of 112,000, while the Sun, established in 1978 and
owned by Sun Media, has a circulation of 55,000.[258] The Journal no longer publ
ishes a Sunday edition as of July 2012.[259]
There is one free daily newspaper in the city, Metro.[260] The magazine Vue Week
ly is published on a weekly basis and focuses on alternative news.[261] The Edmo
nton Examiner is a city-wide community based paper also published weekly.[262] T
here are also a number of smaller weekly and community newspapers.
