Plan ahead and convert your next Assam Convention on June 30th and July 01, 2012 to be held in Calgary, Alberta to a memorable vacation. Explore the natural beauty, adventures, wild life in Canadian Rocky’s. Alberta is located in western Canada, bounded by the provinces of British Columbia to the west and Saskatchewan to the east, the Northwest Territories to the north, and the U.S. state of Montana to the south. Alberta is one of three Canadian provinces and territories to border only a single U.S. state (the others being New Brunswick and Yukon). It is also one of only two Canadian provinces that are landlocked (the other being Saskatchewan).Edmonton, the capital city of Alberta, is located just south of the centre of the province. Roughly 300 kilometres (190 mi) south of the capital is Calgary, Alberta's largest city, a major distribution, transportation hub as well as one of Canada's major commerce centres.
Calgary and Edmonton are the primary supply and service hub for Canada's oil sands and other northern resource industries. According to recent population estimates, these two metropolitan areas have now both exceeded 1 million people. Other municipalities in the province include Red Deer, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, Fort McMurray, Grande Prairie, Camrose, Lloydminster, Brooks, Wetaskiwin, Banff, Cold Lake, and Jasper.
As of January 1, 2009, Alberta's population is estimated to be 3,632,483. This represents a yearly increase of approximately 91,251 persons (or 2.58% growth) for the twelve months ending January 1, 2008. Source: Alberta Finance.
Visitors to Alberta are often struck by the wide-open space—the mountains, pristine lakes and sweeping prairie. That space, perhaps, shapes how we live—with plenty of room to reach for our dreams. Albertans enjoy a stable economy, no provincial sales tax, a world-class education system and excellent public health care. The air and water are clean, parks and green spaces are abundant; in addition to plenty of sports and recreation opportunities, there are many arts and culture activities to enjoy.
