Edmonton -Gateway to the North

Edmonton is the capital city of the Canadian province of Alberta. Known as the “Gateway to the North”, Edmonton’s economy has grown as a result of being a strategic staging point for large-scale oil sands projects occurring in northern Alberta and large-scale diamond mining operations in the Northwest Territories. Edmonton is a center of culture, government, and education in Alberta and the whole of Canada. Edmonton hosts a wide range of festivals year-round, earning it the nickname “Canada’s Festival City”. These include events such as the summer festival known as K-Days, the Edmonton International Street Performer’s Festival, Canadian Finals Rodeo, the Works Art and Design Festival, Edmonton International Fringe Festival, Edmonton Folk Music Festival, and several others of note.

My passion is to help people who love travelling and are looking for the ideal travel tips on destinations all around the world. Like a lot of people, I hoped travel would solve everything.
