QUALITY OF LIFE

We are one of the sunniest places in Canada, averaging over 2,300 hours of sunlight each year. All that sunlight helps maintain the plethora of parks and green spaces that weave their way throughout the region including Edmonton’s river valley — the largest forest in North America, with more than 160 km of maintained pathways and 20 major parks. And that's in just one of our 15 communities across the region. We're also home to many freshwater lakes and rivers, trail systems, and natural areas. Canada's Rocky Mountains are also just a short drive away.
