Edmonton serves as a significant administrative center, housing the provincial legislature and various government offices. As of the latest census, the city has a population of over one million residents, making it the second-largest city in Alberta.
Key points of interest in Edmonton include the Alberta Legislature Building, the Royal Alberta Museum, and the West Edmonton Mall, which is one of the largest shopping malls in North America.
