The province of Alberta has the highest population amongst the Prairie provinces and two of Canada’s largest cities – Edmonton and Calgary – call this province home. Its economy is one of the fastest-growing in the country and its natural beauty is well-renowned. Banff National Park and Jasper National Park are two testaments to this beauty that Alberta is famed around the world for.
