Alberta is one of Canada's provinces. Alberta is named after Princess Louise Caroline Alberta (1848-1939), the fourth daughter of Queen Victoria. Lake Louise was also named in honour of Princess Louise.
Alberta is located in western Canada. To the west, its border with British Columbia follows the line of peaks of the Rocky Mountains range along the Continental Divide. Alberta borders Saskatchewan on the east, Northwest Territories on the north, and by the U.S. State of Montana on the south.
The capital city of Alberta is Edmonton, which is the primary supply and service hub for Canada's oilsands and other northern resource industries. Calgary is a major distribution and transportation hub as well as being one of Canada's major commerce centres.
Because Alberta extends for 1200 km from north to south, and about 600 km wide at its greatest east-west extent, it is natural that the climate should vary considerably. It is also further influenced by its elevation since the province is a high plateau. Alberta contains dozens of rivers and lakes ideal for swimming, water skiing, fishing and a full range of other water sports.
Northern Alberta is mostly covered by boreal forest, while southern Alberta has a semi-arid climate. Western Alberta is protected by the mountains, and enjoys the mild temperatures brought by winter chinook winds.
Central and parts of northwestern Alberta in the Peace River region are largely aspen parkland, a biome transitional between prairie to the south and boreal forest to the north. Southern Alberta, where Calgary is located, is known for its ranching. Much of the unforested part of Alberta is given over either to grain or to dairy farming.
In southeastern Alberta are the Alberta badlands with deep gorges and striking landforms. Dinosaur Provincial Park showcases the badlands terrain, desert flora, and remnants from Alberta's past when dinosaurs roamed the then lush landscape. ( )
