Edmonton doesn't do small. Its shopping centre is the biggest in North America, housing a wave pool and a roller coaster. It hosts the largest fringe theatre festival on the continent with hundreds of shows and thousands of performances. Split by a wide river, full of vast, green parks, populated by towering skyscrapers, Alberta's capital is one of the fastest growing cities in Canada.
