  • Are you trying to decide which city to call home in Alberta -- Calgary or Edmonton?
    I know this can be a tough decision. That's why I created this video, to give you a comprehensive comparison of the Battle of Alberta: Calgary vs Edmonton.
    As a proud Calgarian, I can attest to the city's vibrant energy and bustling lifestyle, but I've also spent a good chunk of time in Edmonton and I've got to say, it's got some serious charm of its own. I’m proud to provide my insights on the unique features and attractions of Calgary and Edmonton to help you make an informed decision on which city is the best place to live in Alberta for you.
    In this video, I'll be covering everything from demographics and statistics, to climate and environment, culture and entertainment, transportation and commuting, real estate and housing, and more. Speaking of real estate, if you're interested in the Calgary or Edmonton real estate markets, we've got you covered. We offer monthly real estate market updates and insights, as well as advice for buyers, sellers, and investors.

    Calgary, also known as "cowtown," is Alberta's most populous city and is widely considered the central hub of the province. It boasts a stunning landscape with the Rocky Mountains to the west and prairies to the east. It is home to the famous Calgary Stampede, a week-long festival featuring rodeo events, concerts, and exhibitions.
    Edmonton, on the other hand, is Alberta's capital city and is known for its thriving arts and cultural scene, including the Edmonton International Fringe Festival, the largest and longest-running fringe theatre festival in North America. Edmonton is also home to the largest mall in North America, the West Edmonton Mall.

    I have lived in both cities for decades and still go back and forth for work many times a year. My daughter lives in one while we live in the other. They are way more similar then anyone from either city wants to admit. Both cities have a surprising amount of money attached to them. Calgary has more head offices but Edmonton has more skilled workers. Same size, almost same population. Housing a little more affordable in Edmonton. Calgary a little prettier. Edmonton has better parks, Calgary has closer skiing. Edmonton has better and larger sports and music venues which attract the world biggest artists. Calgary a little more touristy while Edmonton a little more utilitarian. Both cities have an exorbitant amount of restaurant choices due to the much higher then average disposable income. Covid and previous oil crash have changed that landscape a bit for both cities. Edmonton winters are a little colder but the summers are warmer. Especially the summer nights. Calgary can get to 30° during the day and the night can still hit 8-12° at times. Edmonton will hit 32-33° and the night will get to 16-18°. Edmonton is the capital so it has more government workers. Both cities have decent road systems but with each having approx 1.4 million people each they can both have significant traffic issues, especially when there are weather events. Both cities get extreme winter storms and cold snaps as well as some pretty hot summer days. Edmonton had a 3 week run summer before last where temps never dipped below 32° as a high and got as high as 39° for 3-4 days. Both cities can get some wicked summer thunderstorms with large hail and tornado possibilities. Hope my experiences have helped someone.

I chose Edmonton for its better summer weather, parks/cycling/walking trails. Both have great suburban neighourhoods, Edmonton's a little more affordable. More money left to fly someplace warm in the winter. Neither are pretty from their ring roads or major roadways.

    I lived and worked in Calgary between 1994 and 2001. While there, I drove up to Edmonton several times. While they are both nice cities, the clincher for me is Calgary's close proximity to the rocky mountains (e.g., Banff National Park and Kananaskis Country).

      As an Edmontonian that's actually what makes me dislike Calgary.
      Want to wait in line on the highway to do some designer clothes shopping? Banff is for you
      Want to go to a mountain town? Jasper is what you want. It's a longer drive. But there's also endless natural land and lakes between here and there. There's also elk island right next door which I loved but it's a different kind of nature than the mountains.

    - Slightly shorter flights to every city in Canada and the US (Except Anchorage)
    - Has WAY more flight destinations. Edmonton just connects through Calgary
    - Calgary Stampede

    - Isn't full of government workers
    - Doesn't vote for left wing politicians

    I have traveled to Alberta frequently for work (being based in Houston within the O&G industry)…for me Edmonton is a much more romantic and interesting city to visit/live than Calgary. However, Calgary is a much nicer/convenient/comfy place to live especially for those with a family. Edmonton is such a neat city (esp in summer) to visit but it’s sad seeing the many drug addicts and homeless around certain parts of the city. It’s also further from the Mountains than Calgary and doesn’t have as good of an airport to travel internationally. Finally the winters are worse in Edmonton due to the lack of the chinooks. That being said I really love Edmonton and prefer it over Calgary as a standalone city to visit in the summer. It has more character by far than Calgary…and a much better hockey team!

  • @swankyshivy

    great video but what about healthcare? are the wait times to see dr when sick or have emg still long? are there options to get health insurance and go private and get medical help? does anyone have this info

    • @LiveInnerCity
      @LiveInnerCity  Před rokem +5

      Great questions! When it comes to healthcare in Calgary, let me give you some insights.
      In Canada, including Calgary, the healthcare system is publicly funded, which means that access to medical services is available to all residents. Wait times to see a doctor or receive emergency care can vary depending on the urgency and demand for services. While efforts have been made to reduce wait times, it's important to note that certain non-emergency procedures or specialist appointments may have longer wait times.
      In terms of options for private healthcare, Canada's healthcare system primarily operates on a publicly funded model. However, there are some private clinics and facilities in Calgary that offer specialized services, such as elective surgeries or cosmetic procedures, where patients can choose to pay out-of-pocket for quicker access to care. It's worth noting that these private options are typically for non-emergency and non-insured services.
      Regarding health insurance, Alberta residents have access to Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP), which provides coverage for essential medical services. This coverage is available to all eligible residents, regardless of income. However, it's worth considering additional health insurance plans, such as extended health coverage or private insurance, to supplement certain services or provide coverage for medications, dental care, and other healthcare needs not covered by the public system.
      When comparing Calgary to Edmonton in terms of healthcare, both cities generally have similar healthcare systems and access to services. However, specific wait times and availability of private options may vary between the two cities due to factors such as population size and demand for services.
      Please remember that the information provided is not medical advice. If you're seeking more detailed information about wait times, private healthcare options, or health insurance specifics, I recommend contacting Alberta Health Services or speaking with a local healthcare professional who can provide up-to-date and accurate information tailored to your needs.
      Prioritizing your health is crucial, and seeking advice from qualified medical professionals will ensure you receive the most appropriate guidance. Wishing you good health and well-being!

    Not sure where you're getting your stats from - Edmonton actually has more sunny days that Calgary, and also has a more stable climate and growing season. Moreover, Edmonton's winter isn't all that notably colder than Calgary's. One thing Edmonton does have more is precipitation, particularly in the Spring and Summer months, especially compared to Calgary.
    I'm not a big fan of the 'rivalry' between the two cities, but although they do have plenty in common, the differences are such that it really boils down to Calgary being a nicer place to visit, whereas Edmonton being a nicer place to live.

      Healthcare is a crucial consideration, and both Calgary and Edmonton boast excellent medical facilities. The quality of healthcare often depends on personal experiences and specific needs.

    Bow river, not Bull river. The “bull” is in the partisan nature of the opinion. 2 minutes about cycling paths in Calgary versus ignoring that Edm has the largest river valley cycling network and most comprehensive river valley in N America. Saddle dome v Roger’s place? Khadri v McDavid? Husky tower v the legislature? The reality is that there are fantastic elements to both cities. If, however, you want to live in a place so that you can get out of it more easily to other places, then that’s Calgary but that’s like saying you like a restaurant better bc the tables are closer to the bathrooms. I note no reference made to the Edm Folk festival, the Fringe, (both world class) and the tremendous theatre scene.

Where the middle density neighbourhood provides you the amenities without being dependant of your car .And because most middle density neighbourhoods were built before the standardisation of architecture around the world , they have an unique indentity, history and charm which are great of a stroll without any particular goal.
