Edmonton is de hoofdstad van de Canadese provincie Alberta. Het is de vijfde stad van Canada, na Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver en Calgary. In 2011 had Edmonton een inwonertal van 812.201 en in de stadsomgeving of de zogenaamde “Edmonton Metropolitan Area” wonen 1.159.869 mensen. De inwoners van Edmonton worden Edmontonians genoemd. In 2004 vierde Edmonton haar honderdjarig bestaan. De stad beslaat 684 vierkante kilometer, en Edmonton is daarmee groter in oppervlakte dan bijvoorbeeld Chicago of Toronto. Hierbij moet opgemerkt worden dat Edmonton ook een van de meest dunbevolkte grote steden van Noord-Amerika is. De genoemde oppervlakte bevat dan ook veel parken en onbebouwd terrein. De industrie rondom de stad is vooral gebaseerd op de oliemarkt en op de noordelijker gelegen diamantmijnen in de Northwest Territories. In Edmonton vindt men het grootste overdekte winkelcentrum van Noord-Amerika, de West Edmonton Mall, en het grootste historische park van Canada, . Verder heeft de stad haar eigen universiteit, de University of Alberta, en staat bekend als de festivalstad, door het grote aantal culturele activiteiten dat er wordt georganiseerd.
