Re: Capital of Alberta
HI Pammy....
We are in Calgary but my husband was partly raised in Edmonton...I won't get him started on why he wouldn't go back so instead I was just going to suggest that if you want to see a really great Edmonton hockey team go and see the U of A Golden Bears play....Slightly biased as one of Hubby's best friends is the coach (Eric Thurston)....They've won the University Cup any number of times and it is great, affordable hockey - partic to bring young kids to as they don't generally kick the crap out of each other.....
I am looking forward to hitting the Mall over Christmas this year as my in - laws are a five minute drive away!!!
Have fun

Re: Capital of Alberta
edmonton for my twopenneth is capital by sheer chance, if there was a vote today calgary would win it hands down. edmonton is sort of like birmingham being the capital of the UK, rough and ready, a bit arty, some good shopping, everyone seems to go around it and no one through it.

Re: Capital of Alberta
i'll bring it back, ice hockey is toss. the water park and the mall are good, though its no different to any other mall any place else i would suspect. what makes it unique i suppose are things like the water park and the rides. also little things like mini golf, casino, 10 screen cinema with imax. its a trip out int'warm, no more.

Simply because:
1) Calgary has a larger population
2) Calgary has more Head Offices
3) Calgary has more 'Yankee's living there
What does Calgary have?
MORE big name bands playing here
a BETTER NHL Team
a BETTER WHL Team
a BETTER NLL Team
a BETTER CFL Team

Re: Capital of Alberta
thats disappointing. there is only so many times i can beat a 9yr old on it before it gets boring. no one else wants to play with me.
