Alberta (/ælˈbɜːrtə/) is a western province of Canada. With an estimated population of 4,196,457 as of July 1, 2015, it is Canada's fourth-most populous province and the most populous of Canada's three prairie provinces. Alberta and its neighbour Saskatchewan were districts of the Northwest Territories until they were established as provinces on September 1, 1905. The premier has been Rachel Notley since May 2015.
Alberta is bounded by the provinces of British Columbia to the west and Saskatchewan to the east, the Northwest Territories to the north, and the US state of Montana to the south. Alberta is one of three Canadian provinces and territories to border only a single US state and one of only two landlocked provinces. It has a predominantly Humid continental climate, but seasonal temperature average swings are smaller than to areas further east, with winters being warmed by occasional chinook winds bringing sudden warming which moderates average temperatures.
Alberta's capital Edmonton is near the geographic centre of the province and is the primary supply and service hub for Canada's crude oil, oil sands (Athabasca oil sands) and other northern resource industries.

Calgary Alberta is a fantastic place to live, probably one of my favourite places in Canada. In this video, I went around downtown Calgary to take some video of the city. While running around, Banff, Sunshine ski resort and Calgary I was able to catch some really amazing shots of what makes Alberta such a liveable place. I took video of the Calgary Tower, the Bow Line, Brook Field place, the Saddledome where the Calgary Flames play hockey and much more. Apart from the cold winters, I love this city in every aspect. I love the fast growth leading to new development and I love the people of Calgary. Hopefully, this gives you a little taste of what Calgary has to offer and maybe one day you will come visit.
