Sandwiched between the Great Rockies of BC and the endless Prairies of Saskatchewan, Alberta is Canada’s most privileged Province forcing only a 7% sales tax to her residents and visitors. The beginning of the year is usually the coldest months with temperatures dropping below -40C and should be avoided unless you’ve got your heart set on skiing the fantastic slopes offered by Sunshine village or Lake Louise. Unique to Alberta during winter months are Chinook winds, dry winds blowing down the eastern slopes of the Rockies causing a rise in temperature of up to 40C in 24 hours. All in all, Alberta, boasting many of Canada’s finest cities, welcomes visitors of all nationalities to explore her matchless beauty! |
|  | Flora Mountains, foothills, prairies and boreal forests make up Alberta. Aspen, balsam poplar and white spruce dominate the southwest region running along the United States and British Columbia. The eastern plains provide arable soil and natural resources while the North yields unspoiled forests. |
| | Fauna Alberta’s abundance of wildlife is one of the Province’s drawing cards. Where bison and wolves formerly roamed, the deer, elk and moose has taken its place. Banff and Jasper National Parks provide great opportunities for tourists to view the splendid array of Canadian wildlife. |
