Visitor Facts

Edmonton is one of the best cities in the north to view the Aurora Borealis. Weather permitting, the lights can be viewed almost every second or third night during the winter months.

About Canada

Canada is only second only to Russia in land-mass size and just slightly bigger than the United States and China. Canada has seacoasts on three sides: the Atlantic Ocean to the east, the Pacific Ocean to the west, and the Arctic Ocean to the north. Canada’s only land borders are with America, Alaska to the northwest and the continental United States to the south.

Tourism Industry

The You’re Welcome Awards recognize employees and volunteers in the service industry who exemplify hospitality to Edmonton’s visitors. The popularity of the program can be seen in the growing number of nominations submitted – from 200 in its first year to a record 2,500 nominations in 2009.
