Work in Alberta is a website designed to help you find
a job in Alberta, Canada. Has you know,
Alberta have actually one of the fastest growing
economies in the North America, even in the world.
Alberta is located in Western Canada, bounded by the
provinces of British Columbia to the west and
Saskatchewan to the east, Northwest Territories to
the north, and by the U.S. state of Montana to the
south.
Considered one of Canada’s three “Prairie
Provinces”—along with Manitoba and
Saskatchewan—Alberta differs in that it shares the
Canadian Rockies with British Columbia. Alberta
natural border is the imaginary line of the
Continental Divide that separates Alberta from B.C.
The capital city of Alberta is Edmonton, located
just south of the centre of the province. Calgary is
a major distribution and transportation hub as well
as being one of Canada's major commerce centres.
Edmonton is the primary supply and service hub for
Canada's oil sands and other northern resource
industries. According to recent population
estimates, these two metropolitan areas have now
both exceeded 1 million people, Calgary being
slightly more populous than Edmonton.
Other major but much smaller municipalities in
the province include Red Deer, Lethbridge, Medicine
Hat, Fort McMurray, Grande Prairie, Camrose,
Lloydminster, Wetaskiwin, Banff, and Jasper.
Alberta covers 661 185 sq km,
making it similar in size to Texas, three times the
size of Great Britain or equal to the combined areas
of France, Switzerland, Belgium and the Netherlands.
78 000 sq km are devoted to
parklands.
Alberta, where all dreams can come true.
