Why Edmonton Living Here

In Edmonton, home is never far away.
Sun, snow and serious good times.
325
sunny days a year and 160 km of trails in
North America’s largest urban park system.
Snowshoe in the River Valley, skate under the stars or soak up the summer sun. With endless outdoor adventures,
Edmonton makes every season unforgettable.
Room to Grow, Space to Breathe.
One of Canada’s most affordable housing markets and home to 375 unique neighbourhoods.
Whether you’re setting up your first apartment, finding the perfect family home or dreaming of a backyard big enough for BBQs,
Edmonton makes it easy to live large without breaking the bank.
Sports, Spirit and Sweet Wins.
A city that sells out stadiums—rain, shine or snow—for world-class games and local legends alike.
Edmonton’s sports scene is electric, with fans who brave the elements and champion every team, this city isn’t just a home for sports—it’s where legends are made and history is written.
The top of an LRT shelter is decorated with sculptures of pink flowers that look like satellite dishes pointing to the sky.
