Introduction

Edmontonians weather the extremes of the seasons: long days of summer with temperatures in the 30s, long nights of winter with temperatures in the -30s.

Once solely reliant on the boomtown effect of the energy sector (at one time we were called "blue-eyed Arabs"), Edmonton is now a cutting-edge technology and innovation centre. We're also home to a vibrant arts and sports scene with a world-wide reputation for volunteerism.

Listed on these pages are sites that show Edmonton is more than just home to the world's biggest shopping centre and the place where Wayne Gretzky set (and still holds) 53 individual entries in the National Hockey League record book.
