Transportation GETTING AROUND

20 GREATER EDMONTON DESTINATION PLANNER 2013

New EIA U.S. Departures Terminal Air travel to and from Edmonton has never been easier or more enjoyable.

The Edmonton International Airport has been transformed, offering travellers more services, comfort, and efficiency. In the expanded terminal, you can now browse a diverse collection of art, shop in the many new stores, and enjoy a great selection of restaurants and cafés. Navigating the airport is also easier with its new signs and terminal design, and waiting for flights is more comfortable, thanks to improved passenger lounges. Free WiFi is available throughout, and getting to and from the airport has been improved, too, with the addition of an Edmonton Transit bus route.

LRT Expansion Expanding the LRT system is a key priority for the City in order to meet Edmonton’s transportation needs as it continues to grow, but so too is integrating it into the city through the use of streetscaping and architectural features like street furniture.

Completion on the North LRT line, that will link Churchill Station to stations at Grant MacEwan University, the Royal Alexandra Hospital/Kingsway Mall, and to NAIT, is expected by 2014.

The City’s next priority is preliminary engineering of the Southeast to West LRT from Mill Woods to Lewis Farms, which is anticipated to be completed in 2013.

Edmonton is growing steadily, and the city’s transportation routes are developing right along with it — making travel in and around Edmonton easier than ever. Major projects are underway or nearing completion, such as the Edmonton International Airport Expansion and Anthony Henday Drive.

With improvements to Edmonton’s public transit, namely the expanded Light Rail Transit (LRT) system and increased bus routes, your conference planning will be smooth sailing.

Edmonton International Airport (EIA) serves as the gateway to Greater Edmonton and the boundless opportunities of the Canadian North. A bright, modern facility, EIA welcomes six million passengers annually, with its Central Hall that features convenient retail and food and beverage services, an observation deck, centralized pre-board screening, free Wi-Fi for all passengers and many amenities for passenger comfort. Translation services in multiple languages and international currency exchange are also available. The EIA recently unveiled their $1 billion terminal expansion, featuring a brand new U.S. Departures Terminal lined with great shops, cafés, restaurants, and more handy services.

Located 30 km (about 30-40 minutes) from downtown Edmonton, the airport is next to Queen Elizabeth II Highway, the major commuter highway that links Calgary and Edmonton. Many ground transportation options are available from EIA, including taxi and limo services, and the new C-Line and Sky Shuttle (edmontonskyshuttle.com or 780-4658515) service to the south side, west end and downtown.

Daily ground coach service is now available to Jasper, in the magnificent Canadian Rockies. A number of Greater Edmonton hotels also offer complimentary shuttle service.

With more than 50 non-stop flights across the continent — with air links to 12 major U.S. hubs and destinations — Edmonton International Airport offers one-stop access to anywhere in the world. Visit www.flyeia.com for a complete airport guide or call 780-890-8382 for airport customer care.

Home-Grown Flavour

From quiet and business-like to energetic and casual, Edmonton restaurants offer a wide range of dining experiences with attentive, professional service. If live entertainment tops your agenda, many city restaurants also feature performers on select evenings.

With such a delicious selection of possibilities, finding restaurants to accommodate you and your group will be easy. Narrowing the selection down to one will be the challenge. Bon appétit!

Consider giving your gathering a tasty, distinctive flavour with entrées prepared from locally grown, farmfresh favourites. Two-thirds of Alberta ranches raise cattle that have won a global following for their rich, flavourful, grain-fed meat. Central Alberta has grown into a hub for cheese makers and dairy farmers; market gardens harvest produce such as squash and potatoes; and rich fields to the south of Edmonton yield canola, wheat, corn and berries. All of the above come together as creative, satisfying entrées at restaurants proud to serve regional cuisine.

The diversity of dishes reaches far beyond Alberta’s borders, from chefs who happily accommodate large groups, and can add a personal touch with custom menus that reflect special dietary needs such as vegan, gluten-free and organic. Many also offer private banquet facilities, entertainment, and offpremise catering to turn your meeting or special event into a crowd-pleaser.

Renowned for its wildlife and bird-watching opportunities, Elk Island is home to more than 250 species of birds and 40 species of mammals — including more than 1,000 plains and wood bison, elk, moose, deer, beaver and coyote. It is the sole remaining place in Alberta where all the grazing species of Canada’s aspen parkland ecosystem co-exist. Open year-round, this park features more than 100 km of nature trails for hiking or crosscountry skiing, picnic spots, camping and canoeing.

GREATER EDMONTON OFFERS OPTIONS FOR EVERYONE

GREATER EDMONTON

OUT AND ABOUT NORTH Just beyond metro Edmonton, blue skies beckon as you take a leisurely drive towards the peaceful, homespun communities of Bon Accord, Gibbons, Legal, Morinville, Redwater, St. Albert and Sturgeon County. ( The City of St. Albert — The oldest non-fortified community in Alberta offers sites of interest including the historic Father Lacombe Chapel, Western Canada’s largest outdoor farmers’ market, the St. Albert Botanic Park (featuring the largest public rose garden in Alberta), and The Enjoy Centre — founded by the late Lois E. Hole, a beloved Lieutenant Governor of Alberta. A vibrant arts scene and recreation facilities add to this city’s charm. ( Sturgeon County — Meet potters, glass artists, sculptors, and painters at various artisans’ home studios and galleries here. French-Canadian culture can be traced along the French Corridor in St. Albert, Morinville and Legal, the Canadian Capital of French Murals, which touts 28 painted murals on town buildings depicting the history of French settlers in the district. Fresh bread and locally grown organic herbs and produce are a given at Peas on Earth Market Gardens and, if visiting in summer, don’t miss the annual Country Soul Stroll — a self-guided driving tour that showcases the county’s attractions.

SOUTH South of Edmonton you’ll discover the dynamic thriving communities of Leduc, Nisku, Devon, Calmar, Beaumont and Millet. ( Devon — Visit the Devonian Botanic Garden, a lovingly manicured complex with abundant plant life, ponds and waterfalls in its Kurimoto Japanese Garden. Nature trails, ecological and wetland reserves and more than 10,000 species of plants beautify the garden’s 80-acre expanse.

( Calmar — This spot is the cozy home to both a series of wonderful murals that depict the town’s history, and to the renowned Ukrainian Zirka Dancers. ( Beaumont — With its prominent French history, Beaumont offers a relaxing day at Four Seasons Park where you can fish for trout, enjoy a picnic, cycle, jog or stroll the pathways. ( Millet — This Communities in Bloom national winner has earned the title: “Prettiest Little Town in Canada.”

While in Edmonton, a trip to see the Alberta Ballet in action in the acoustical masterpiece that is the Northern Jubilee Auditorium is also a cultural must!

In the heart of downtown sits the majestic Alberta Legislature building. Enjoy free guided tours while receiving an education on the political history of Alberta. While downtown, stop by the Winspear Centre, home to the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra who recently performed at Carnegie Hall in New York City. Also visit the Citadel Theatre for one of their captivating performances, and make sure to stop at one of Canada’s best museums, the Royal Alberta Museum with exhibits like the Syncrude Gallery of Aboriginal Culture. One of the most popular museums in the country, it offers a range of exhibitions and activities for every age and interest.

Festivals & Events

Experience 3:

Make your way down to Old Strathcona, one of Canada’s top-five neighbourhoods, where you’ll find a rich history with eight theatre companies operating out of four iconic theatres like the Varscona and Walterdale Playhouse. Take a stroll down the bustling streets to see even more work from local artists. If you’re around on a Saturday, stop by the Strathcona Farmers’ Market, open year-round, for some exceptional fresh and homegrown delights. Don’t miss dining at one of the amazing restaurants on Whyte Avenue like Packrat Louie or Murrieta’s.

Itineraries

Edmonton has one of the most abundant and diverse festival scenes in all of Canada.

In the summer, Edmonton is best known for the internationally renowned Folk Music, Fringe and Street Performers festivals. As the leaves turn, you can enjoy festivals like the International Film Festival, Litfest, Comedy Fest, Canadian Finals Rodeo and Farmfair. With great winter festivals like Ice on Whyte, Silver Skate, Birkebeiner Ski Festival, and the Festival of Trees, there’s an easy excuse to go play in the snow. International, independent and eye-opening, the Edmonton International Film Festival strives to uncover cinematic gems and celebrate unique new voices.

Edmonton is Canada’s Festival City, and chances are very good that you’ll be able to see one of the incredible festivals during your stay.

SUGGESTED ITINERARIES TRUE NORTH Alberta’s backyard is a playground just waiting to be explored. North of Edmonton, there exists a seemingly endless expanse of lakes, waterfalls and history; Edmonton is the perfect jumping off point.

Featured Experiences: Athabasca River Valley Lesser Slave Lake Leduc #1 Energy Discovery Centre Oil Sands Discovery Centre Wood Buffalo National Park

MORE...

SUGGESTED MONTHS: NOVEMBER – APRIL Experience 1:

The gateway city to the north, Edmonton is the ideal spot to explore Alberta’s greatest adventures. Start in the Athabasca River Valley where you will find the Athabasca Golf and Country Club, or take an interpretive walk by the river. During the winter the Athabasca Nordic Ski Club maintains 17 km of groomed cross-country ski trails. Right around the corner is Alberta’s largest recreational lake, Lesser Slave Lake. With sandy beaches, lakeside camping and a nearby bird observatory, it’s a great place to relax for a couple days. The area offers some of the finest fishing in Alberta with Walleye, Northern Pike and Yellow Perch. The Lesser Slave Lake region also gives anglers some of the best variety for winter ice fishing. The winter months are perfect for snowshoeing, cross country skiing and snowmobiling, while the summer is great for golfing, off-roading and hiking.

One of Alberta’s national historic sites, the Brazeau Collieries Minesite in Nordegg offers tours of the coal mining area and takes you almost a century back in time.

One of Alberta’s richest natural resources, the oil industry has been an integral part of our history. The Leduc #1 Energy Discovery Centre is a historical landmark showcasing this history, and contains interpretive displays, oilfield equipment, photos and artifacts. The original oil derrick used to drill Leduc #1 is currently on display at Edmonton’s Gateway Park. Continue your oil education in Fort McMurray with a tour of the oil sands or learn all about them at the Oil Sands Discovery Centre. The Athabasca Oil Sands are the single biggest deposit of oil in the world and the process from start to finish is a technological marvel.

Experience 3:

Wood Buffalo National Park surrounds Fort McMurray and is Canada’s largest national park. The park has free-roaming herds of bison, numbering over 5000, and bears, wolves and even the once-endangered Peregrine Falcon. The park is the birthplace of North America’s largest bird, the Whooping Crane, and also boasts the biggest beaver dam in the world!

Wood Buffalo Park is ideally situated for intense northern lights displays throughout the winter. If you’re an experienced wilderness traveller you can try your hand at a backcountry trip through the park by foot or canoe.
