Considered one of Canada’s three “Prairie Provinces”—along with Manitoba and Saskatchewan—Alberta differs in that it shares the Canadian Rockies with British Columbia. It is three times the size of Great Britain or equal to the combined areas of France, Switzerland, Belgium and the Netherlands. Its variety of natural areas and ecosystems supports hundreds of species of wildlife. Coupled with the intriguing history of Aboriginal cultures and prehistoric dinosaur remains, it is easy to see why the United Nations crowned Alberta with five of Canada’s 13 designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites!
