[@shelleyab5735]

You should mention that the winters are longer than most cities. Our winters (snow) can last from late October to April. Also the fact we are known as 'Festival City' . Summer events like the Fringe, The Works art festival, Folk Fest, Cariwest, Taste of Edmonton, Heritage Days, and other fun summertime events.

[@liveinedmonton]

All great things to mention! Thanks for watching!

[@kassieh5794]

when walking in the river valley be sure to watch over your shoulder as the homeless will be in the river valley and yes they can be violent. The best thing about Edmonton, is in Leduc, AB, which these channels like to call Edmonton, this is where the airport is, and it is the best thing about Edmonton cause there are international departures and you can forget you live in Edmonton for a while. People only live in Edmonton to work, this is NOT a retirement town.

[@naiomiebanks5420]

I love watching you video Melody keep up

[@liveinedmonton]

Thank you for watching!

I live in Calgary and I love Edmonton and your channel great job

[@WALID-xj8zl]

I moved in in last July from Algeria North Africa as a new immigrant and what I found out is that it’s pretty quiet for a city which can be a con. It’s not that drivable although I need a car and although there are things to do u Still feel like your in town not in a city. You don’t experience the Same feeling as in Toronto or Vancouver. Other than that I love it it’s an amazing city very welcoming and friendly.

[@liveinedmonton]

Congratulations on your move! Yes it is definitely a small city when compared to some of the larger cities in Canada, and around the world! Glad you are enjoying it, and thanks for the watch!

[@WALID-xj8zl]

@@liveinedmonton no problem i like your Chanel hope that you will have so many followers, one thing tho about Canadians although they are very polite, still it is hard to make friends.

[@liveinedmonton]

@@WALID-xj8zl Thank you! We hope so too! Yes it can be difficult to make friends - hopefully you have more luck soon!

[@jeffcwatson]

That was covid. The summer festivals will be rocking this year. Heritage Days, early August long weekend. The best for world love 🌍💚

[@omundodeadriana2024]

How about if you have to use public transportation? When is very cold 🥶 how the people do

[@cefvelasco7200]

would like to know as well!

[@barrytruss1]

It's funny how all these videos about moving to Edmonton, say traffic is a con. Compared to literally every other city out there. The traffic is not even close. We don't have big road ways through the city but you can still get to one end of the city from the other extremely easy. Go to Vancouver, Toronto, New York ect. If you want to see what traffic is like. Come back here and drive and you will never complain about traffic again.

[@berry4life]

Do you think moving to beaumont you'll be able to go to downtown edmonton easily?

[@liveinedmonton]

You definitely need a car. I’m not sure easy is a word we use for transport here lol but it’s at least 30-40 min drive not counting finding parking.

[@njoseph5194]

Interesting channel. My husband and I would like to move to Edmonton in the spruce Grove area but a little hesitant since we are from Montreal Quebec not sure how the schools are will see thanks for your channel houses are pretty affordable compared to Quebec ☺️

[@liveinedmonton]

The schools are great! There are many different options including francophone/french immersion if you are interested in that too! You can check out this video to learn more kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIbZpKGdpLasl6c

@@liveinedmonton thank you!

[@suefarrislandsborough566]

@N joseph Im from montreal also.. I regret moving to edmonton and my friends, and we move back to Montreal again. Watch some youtubr channel of Everything edmonton- the title is the pros and coms. And read the comments. Hope you will change your mind. Montreal is a mix of city and nature... the only down side if your not bilingual is bill 96.

[@cityboyis2]

here's a con that is often not mentioned, you can't grow much of a vegetable garden or plant any real fruit trees in edmonton or alberta for that matter which really sucks.

[@liveinedmonton]

There is definitely an opportunity to grow gardens! But you have to make sure you are choosing produce for the zone. You would struggle growing a watermelon, but there are many successful fruits and vegetables grown here!

[@siquanwu3131]

How about Asian food? Is Asian and Japanese food decent at Edmonton?

[@liveinedmonton]

I like the food here, I’m born in Canada though so take it for what it is. My mom is from Taiwan and my dad from Hong Kong. They like the food too.

[@kassieh5794]

every single thing you mention there is to do costs BIG money. NOTHING in Alberta is cheap. If you are going to follow this travel advice I suggest you bring a LOT of money. We have been to all of these festivals, once, simply cant afford to spend the outrages amounts of money they charge at these events. and we do well and dont have kids to spend money on and we still think 5 times and always say no to the cost of any of these events

[@magssm]

Are there many ethnic restaurants eg Indian,Asian,Middle eastern,Mexican, Caribbean, Ethiopian etc?

[@liveinedmonton]

There are a bunch!

[@magssm]

@@liveinedmonton thanks. Any recommendations?

[@beanlegume9965]

@@magssm I always liked Hawelis for Indian. The 3 Amigos used to be the best for Mexican but they went out of business thanks to the pandemic.

[@beanlegume9965]

@@magssm if you go to the heritage festival they’ll have a both for almost every country and you can try the food there and ask about local restaurants.

[@georgioslykakis1112]

Too many homeless people in Edmonton, Downtown is the worst part of the city, horrible public transportation, too cold for very long time. Other than that everything is ok.
