Energy + Diversity + Momentum = EDMonton

Edmonton has energy, and lots of it. The energy of northern Alberta’s vast oil, gas and coal resources. The energy of a diversified, innovative economy that created 45,900 jobs in only 12 months. The energy of a young, skilled workforce. The energy of students learning in some of Canada’s leading schools, colleges and universities.
