Edmonton Capital Region

The Edmonton Capital Region, also commonly referred to as the Alberta Capital Region, Greater Edmonton or Metro Edmonton, is a conglomeration of municipalities centred on Alberta's provincial capital of Edmonton. The ECR's commonly known boundaries are coincident with those of the Edmonton census metropolitan area as delineated by Statistics Canada. However, its boundaries are defined differently for Capital Region Board administrative purposes. The ECR is considered a major gateway to northern Alberta and the Canadian North, particularly for many companies, including airlines and oil /natural gas exploration. Located within central Alberta and at the northern end of the Calgary–Edmonton Corridor, the ECR is the northernmost metropolitan area in Canada.
