Dressing for the cold
Edmonton winters are dry and very cold, with temperatures that can drop below −30 °C. Plan for several layers, a warm coat, insulated boots, a toque and gloves.
Getting around in winter
ETS buses and the LRT run all year. For trips outside the city, organized transportation avoids driving on snowy roads.
Enjoying winter
- Winter festivals: Ice on Whyte, Deep Freeze and the Flying Canoë Volant.
- Indoor outings, such as the Royal Alberta Museum or the Muttart Conservatory.
- Northern lights nights, away from the city lights.
