There are many major banks that headquarter at Edmonton, a selection of major technology producers, telecommunication providers, video game developers, and much more.

With so many people working, the city had to provide its share of recreational avenues, and there are certainly no shortage.

The city is also well-known for being Canada’s major educational centers, with many, many universities and colleges educating thousands and thousands of students each year (over 60,000 full-time and 170,000 in total). Institutions include the University of Alberta, the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology, Athabasca University, Concordia University College of Alberta, and more.
