Edmonton is a city with a sense of possibilities, a place that is both
the outpost and the threshold for great ventures…it is Fortress
North for liberal civility and artistic life, the preserver of the northern
connection for southern Canadians…
The millennium edition of Places Rated Almanac rated Edmonton ahead
of 317 other major cities in North America, and as one of the top-three
places to live in Canada. This was based on a study of North America's
largest cities that surveyed at living costs, transportation, job outlook,
education, climate, crime, the arts, health care and recreation.

national soccer team.
