AlbertaAlberta Economic Development
Alberta is Canada's richest and most "business friendly" province, leading the nation in economic growth. Economic activity is at an all-time high with scheduled and current projects worth in excess of US $150 billion, driven by investment in the oil sands "mega-project" in the province's north. Alberta remains the only Canadian province without a provincial sales tax, general capital tax, or payroll tax and people living in the major centres of Edmonton and Calgary are seen to be piling up "American-style" wealth while retaining a Canadian-style quality of life.
Edmonton Economic Development
Edmonton is the primary staging area for oil sands development and refining operations in northern Alberta. Massive amounts of construction and operational materials are shipped to Fort McMurray and mining developments in Canada's far north. Recent economic growth has propelled Edmonton to the top spot in Canada -- a trend that is expected to continue for many years. Edmonton offers the most competitive tax system in North America and as Alberta's capital city, it provides ready access to provincial government departments.
