With
a regional population of more than one million, Edmonton is the
sixth largest metropolitan region in Canada. It is also one of the
fastest growing regions by population and has the fastest growing
economy of any major Canadian city.
Driven by rising energy prices, phenomenal investment in the
oilsands, strong construction activity, growth in personal income,
and strong consumer spending, Greater Edmonton has had a decade of
strong economic growth - the greatest of any Canadian city in the
past five years.
With oil and gas prices expected to decline, but still remain at
historically high levels, and with approximately $100 billion in
major projects planned for Northern Alberta, future growth
prospects are very solid.
In short, the Edmonton Region is a great place to be.
