Every day is sunny in Edmonton...

...except today.

Not only is Edmonton Qualtiy of Life third best in the world, a ranking Numbeo doesn't see changing drastically in 2013. Edmonton also ranks highly as the fourth sunniest city in Canada. 

I've lived in some incredibly overcast places (Lower mainland and Japan) Edmonton seems to me to be a really sunny place. We were amazed at the sun shining every day all day when we would visit. The amount of bright sunny though very cold days we have here are nothing to scoff at. The cold doesn't seem that bad if its a beautiful crisp day.

Ironically it's overcast today as I write this. The thing is, I was as surprised it was overcast this morning as I have been in other places when it was sunny. Trust me I much prefer it this way.

Although my very serious winter coat is always at hand my umbrella lies dejectedly wedged under a pile of boots in the closet.

Edmonton the city of entertainment

I went to the EEDC website to get updated on statistics and the city's economic outlook (sadly not updated since May) but ended up getting sidetracked by events.

There is seriously a lot going on in Edmonton. Festivals, groups, fashion shows, city wide events there really is no need to stay at home being bored.

This month there are dozens of events happening this month lots are kid friendly and all look like a lot of fun. Enjoy!
