Edgeway

Edmonton is known for being a vibrant urban city in the center of the wilderness. Residents experience 18 hours of sunlight a day in the summer and how the first snowfall of the winter transforms the river valley into a winter wonderland. In Downtown, you’ll find skyscrapers, plenty of shops, and plenty of diversity and culture. As Alberta’s capital, there are loads of things to do in the city, from skiing and biking to visiting farmers’ markets and art galleries.

Since nature is so close to Edmonton, you'll find plenty of recreational activities. Elk Island National Park is a 30-minute drive from the city. The North Saskatchewan River Valley gives you the feeling of the countryside and wilderness right inside the city. Residents love visiting the Muttart Conservatory to see natural wonders. The architect Peter Hemingway designed the four glass pyramids that comprise the conservatory and hold tropical, temperate, and arid biomes.
