Community and lifestyle

Alberta is made up of a diverse set of cultures and communities that are home to many world-class services.

Our communities are part of what makes Alberta such a great place to live, with small, rural towns home of only a few hundred people, to our 2 major cities, Calgary and Edmonton, with populations of over 1 million each. Each have their own unique character and many opportunities for work.

While Alberta is Canada’s fourth-most populous province, it is also the fourth largest, which means it is never hard to escape into nature.

There are many places you could live, each with its own unique character, and opportunities for work across the province.

Volunteering is also very popular with 80% of locals engaging in volunteer activities.
