About Alberta

Visitors to Alberta are often struck by the wide-open space—the mountains, pristine lakes and sweeping prairie. That space, perhaps, shapes how we live—with plenty of room to reach for our dreams. Albertans enjoy a stable economy, no provincial sales tax, a world-class education system and excellent public health care. The air and water are clean, parks and green spaces are abundant; in addition to plenty of sports and recreation opportunities, there are many arts and culture activities to enjoy.

Visitors will find that the awareness of space is accompanied by an awareness of community. Albertans have built their communities with institutions and organizations often uniquely Albertan, often through volunteer commitment. Communities are valued by the provincial government, which provides a considerable standard of service for communities throughout the province.
