Do you want to work and live in Edmonton, the Capital City of Alberta?

In Edmonton, you will never be short of friends, as one of the most frequent remarks that tourists or new residents make is about the friendliness of most of the people in the city. It isn't an especially big city which helps promote a more neighbor-friendly feeling and a community vibe throughout. Known as Canada's Festival City, Edmonton also yields the highest area of parkland per resident of any Canadian city, with beautiful nature to explore in its green spaces and parks. You are only minutes away from West Edmonton Mall, the largest shopping mall in North America, with over 800 stores, countless forms of entertainment, food and activities for the kids. The Edmonton Valley Zoo is home to Lucy, the infamous Asian Elephant and offers entertainment for the kids, families and even hosts special events. When you need a weekend away in the mountains, there is easy access on major roadways to Stony Plain, Spruce Grove, St. Albert and Jasper, which are all within your reach.

In addition to the lowest gasoline and fuel prices in Canada, it offers low taxes, affordable housing, with lower prices than Calgary and big cities in Vancouver and Toronto.
