LIThis is one of Canada’s most underrated winter destinations—& a hidden gem for travelers looking for a mix of city energy & raw nature.🇨🇦
It’s also where @mr.lighttravelsfaster & I grew up, winter here is especially personal to us: @cityofedmonton
Here’s why Edmonton deserves a spot on your winter travel list:
