Due to it being Canada’s largest producer of petroleum and natural gas, Alberta is often called the “energy province” of Canada. Alberta combines landscapes of the prairies on the east and the Canadian Rocky Mountain range on the west. Along with well developed fertile prairie lands, it also has famous ski resorts and spectacular hiking opportunities. Alberta’s major cities are Edmonton and Calgary. Each has a population of over one million residents.
