Edmonton (pronounced /ˈɛdməntən/) is the capital of the Canadian province of Alberta. The city is located on the North Saskatchewan River in the central region of the province, an area with some of the most fertile farmland on the prairies. It is the second largest city in Alberta after Calgary, and is the hub of Canada's sixth-largest census metropolitan area. The hadrosaur Edmontosaurus is named after the city. In the Canada 2006 Census, the city had a population of 730,372, and its census metropolitan area had a population of 1,034,945, making it the northernmost North American city with a metropolitan population over one million. The 2009 civic census showed a population of 782,439. A resident of Edmonton is known as an Edmontonian. The majority of Edmonton's metropolitan population lives within the City of Edmonton rather than in the surrounding suburban municipalities. Historically Edmonton was surrounded by few other urban municipalities and many of the nearby settlements that did exist were absorbed through amalgamation or annexation. Edmonton annexed a significant amount of land up until the early 1980s, and as such it has sustained much of the region's suburban growth within the city. As a result it is one of the largest cities in North America in area at 684 km (264 sq mi). Edmonton serves as the northern anchor of the Calgary–Edmonton Corridor and is a staging point for large-scale oil sands projects occurring in northern Alberta and large-scale diamond mining operations in the Northwest Territories. Edmonton is Canada's second most populous provincial capital (after Toronto) and is a cultural, governmental and educational centre. It plays host to a year-round slate of world-class festivals, earning it the title of "The Festival City." It is home to North America's largest mall, West Edmonton Mall (which was the world's largest mall for 23 years from 1981 until 2004), and Fort Edmonton Park, Canada's largest living history museum. In 2004, Edmonton celebrated the centennial of its incorporation as a city. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License is there a fee to use the West Edmonton Mall ice skating rink? Q. I was wondering about if there is a fee to use the ice skating rink at the West Edmonton Mall? You see, I have two friends of mine (one is from the UK, the other is from New Jersey, USA) who are great figure skaters and they are planning to visit Edmonton, Alberta, Canada in the near future to skate out in that ice rink inside the West Edmonton Mall and to spend the day going out shopping and such. Any suggestions? Asked by Simon Tonekham - Sat Apr 24 23:38:33 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. An all-day pass for the skating rink costs $7.95. There is also a family pass (up to 4 people) for $19.95. Skate/helmet rental and sharpening services are available.
