Living in Alberta|Edmonton vs Calgary

[@gailknutson6984]

Calgary is great to visit, but Edmonton is where we live and work, raise our families, and establish life long friendships. It's where we come home to.

[@igwebella5451]

I will be moving to Edmonton with my family. Please can you assist with me accommodation. I need contact of a reliable house agent.

In the three years pre-Covid, North American Construction moved from Calgary to Edmonton; Aurora Cannabis moved from Vancouver to Edmonton; Flair Airlines also moved from B.C. to Edmonton; Google Deep Mind (AI) opened it's first office outside London in Edmonton; Improbable Worlds (gaming) (another Google affiliated company) also opened its (now) largest office outside London in Edmonton; three Chinese companies (E.H. Logistics, WeFaces, Lightbox) have opened their sole North American bases in Edmonton, and Edmonton based Stantec Engineering took over MWH, thus becoming the 7th largest engineering/design company in the World. All of those companies chose Edmonton ahead of Calgary and Vancouver. Edmonton leads Canada in engineering, nanotechnology, AI, and cannabis, the latter three among the most important growth industries, and is ahead of both Calgary and Vancouver in all tech not related to O&G or visuals production. Edmonton is also ahead of Calgary in tourism and has the all the top 4 Alberta based financial institutions' headquarters. Since 2012, Edmonton has been the fastest growing CMA in Canada, and since 2015 the Edmonton CMA has had both the highest GDP per capita and the highest disposable income in Canada. Calgary has the fossil fuels industry and is the last top-ten city in Canada that votes right wing.

Plus with lower home prices and cheap short flights from Edmonton , you can spend your weekends in Vancouver or elsewhere if you want and probably have more money in the end.

Good to see a video that says positive things about Alberta. I live in Calgary so I can attest to most of things you said in this video. I plan to do videos to share my experiences as a new immigrant to Canada, I believe people need to be well informed before moving to Canada. Thanks for sharing.

[@IzuchukwuIgwe]

@@abysworld Sure, I'll. Thanks a lot 🙂

[@Davemeister22]

Many of the comments I see here bash Edmonton, but I don't see much in the way of bashing Calgary. Most people see Edmonton as the under dog city to Calgary and this is true in some respects, but it is not that simple. When it comes to weather, there are advantages and drawbacks to both cities. Calgary does get more frequent and pronounced Chinooks than Edmonton, but we regularly see the tail end of them. Calgary sees some nasty hailstorms in summer that completely miss Edmonton. Calgary may be close to the mountains, but Banff is a write off if you want peace and quiet and not too many crowds in the mountains. Banff is gorgeous, but who wants to ski there, when it's parked down to the Trans-Canada or Lake Louise is only accessible by shuttle in summer? Jasper is not 5 hours from Edmonton, under good weather and traffic, it's 3 1/2 - 4 hours. I would rather do that drive and have breathing room on the trails and ski slopes. Edmonton might be boring compared to some bigger cities, but when it's not pandemic times, we have one festival after another, many concerts and sports events. Calgary may have better public transit and a better road/freeway system overall, but they paved over large sections of their river valleys. Edmonton had the foresight to not destroy its river valley and we ended up with the largest urban park system in North America. Edmonton is not the most glamorous city, but people do not know or overlook the positive aspects. Calgary may be internationally ranked higher in measurements such as corporate head offices and design of the road system, but it is not that simple. One city is not better than the other, they are different with different pros and cons in each one. Saying either city is superior to the other is a point of view and not a fact.

[@yingju8217]

I deeply like your conclusion. I guess living in both cities for several years is the best way to learn which city suits one's need better.

[@teekbooy4467]

Both cities suck edmonton fared a little better when it comes to jobs. Both cities are too cold. If you want a better weather better jobs move to america

[@yingju8217]

@@teekbooy4467 Thank you so much for giving the useful suggestion. I appreciate it. I am at the beginning stage of looking for a good place. Your idea reminds me Canada is only one of the possibilities and I should look for a larger spectrum.

[@Davemeister22]

@@teekbooy4467 Edmonton and Calgary are on the smaller end of the big city spectrum each with about 1.5 million people. If you want lots more urban action and culture, you can choose a bigger city. That has its downside, since cities with 5 million or more people tend to have abysmal traffic and pollution. As for weather, both cities experience differing levels of brutal winters. The upside is that Edmonton and Calgary have summers that average between 20 - 25C (70 - 80F) and you aren't roasting to death, unlike summers farther south. Most of America might have a better economy than Alberta's failing oil economy, but good luck paying for your health care insurance in the USA if you are of modest means. In the end, you have to evaluate a broader range of factors to determine which place better suits your lifestyle, preferences and finances.

[@Davemeister22]

@@yingju8217 Thanks. Certainly, the best way to evaluate each city is to look at a broad range of facts for both and consider what you prefer. People often jump to bias and don't look at the greater picture.

You really did not compare both Cities. You should've just talked about Edmonton and that's it. Calgary has a lot more job opportunities than Edmonton, which is the basis for someone to consider one City over another one. Similarly, new graduates have lower barriers to entry into the labour force than Edmonton based of Alberta Labour Department. Calgary has lots of activities during summer time but most Calgarians will trip outside the City for winter adventures just like Edmontonians do. So when you weight all in, Calgary is by far a better and more resilient City than Edmonton. .. and yes, I am a proud Calgarian who had lived in Edmonton for few years.

[@abysworld]

I can understand the loyalty to Calgary. And to be honest I prefer Calgary too. But due to crude oil crash, the job market in Calgary is way worse that that in Edmonton. Calgary is also a little more expensive that Edmonton e.tc. I am sure I must have embellished Edmonton more just because I live there, but I did try my best to compare the cities. That being said, I wish I lived in Calgary as opposed to Edmonton so lucky you.

Alberta is in western Canada. It north only as in north of California. It less northern and more western. Northern Canada is Yukon, NWT & Nunavut. Calgary's winters are relatively mild, (as compared to actual cold provinces such as Manitoba) as is the case for most of Alberta, and this is because of the chinooks which are experienced from the northern to the southern boundaries.

Hello Aby how's the jobs in Edmonton now that we have pandemic? Are there lots of layoffs. I am looking to go back to Alberta but this time in Edmonton, used to live in Calgary. Hope you can answer, thanks for your time.

[@abysworld]

I guess it depends on your field. My coz just moved to Edmonton and she's recently had 2 job offers in the last couple of months.

[@itssesie]

@@abysworld what industry does she work in?

[@chiomachima8626]

I currently applying for a course in international business management. Between both cities which of them have a better job offer? Also for someone who has a health condition what do you advise?

[@jaecarter503]

I love Alberta

[@abysworld]

Which is preferable

Great Job!

[@kosantecconstructionltd]

Any construction opportunities in Alberta? Thanks

[@TheJJDaily]

Tons. My husband is a carpenter by trade and many of my clients are trades people. The unfortunate thing for employers is that there are often so many opportunities that highly skilled people with good work can quit a job Thursday and likely have something lined up for monday. -Edmonton Realtor

Interior designer have more scope in which province of Alberta Edmonton or Calgary

[@holdencaulfield717]

Edmonton is much better. Both great cities though

[@Marj_Lp888]

I agree with this video: Edmonton is better for families, employment, and costs.

Saludos, compay! Llegaron allá? Cómo son cosas?

Most of the festivals are in both cities. They preform in one and then pack up and move to the other. For example I think the same bands play both Folk Fests. Calgary has Sled Island exclusively, I think. Nice comparison! Thank you.

[@riggymars7793]

That is EXACTLY CORRECT!!

[@Itiswhatitispartna]

I used to live in Edmonton and i speak from experience when i say that if you are in to the hip hop/ top 40 club scene be careful because there is always murder, shooting and stabbings. It wasnt like that in the 90s but now has gotten really bad. Dont take my word for it, do your research and youl see. I dont know calgary so no comments there. I know vancouver bc well and can tell you that the night life is way way way safer in the bars and clubs (although expensive everywhere here) just fyi. Thanks

[@johnsnow34lll]

I'm from Toronto, I find the night life far superior in edmonton then Toronto or Vancouver because people can afford to party hard.

[@Itiswhatitispartna]

@@johnsnow34lll that makes sense. Edmonton night life can be fun, just needs to have better police presence in various areas to deter the dummies from coming around and shooting it up.

[@somebody7822]

That's not true. In fact, places like Whyte Ave. in Edmonton have had the amount of bars/nightclubs scaled back to cut back on crime. Calgary had the exact same problem with Electric Avenue earlier in it's history. Both places have done more diversifying of their entertainment districts which was causing all the crime. In Edmonton all the newer entertainment districts that have cropped up - a revitalized downtown, the brewery district, the west end, all of these places have followed Whyte Ave's lead and limited the amount of drinking establishments to curb the criminal activity. Most of the murders, shootings, and stabbings occur on the north side now, not living on that end of the city helps out quite a bit, and if you don't belong to a gang that will also greatly reduce your chances of being a victim of crime in Edmonton.

[@Itiswhatitispartna]

@@somebody7822 makes complete sense. I know alot has changed in Edmonton. Was just there visiting about 3 months ago and saw alot of change and improvements. Your absolutely right.
