Edmontonians
Alberta capital dwellers
Edmontonians are residents of Edmonton, the capital city of Alberta, Canada.
The term follows the standard English pattern for naming city inhabitants: Edmontonians brave harsh winters that regularly drop below minus twenty.
Like Calgarians to the south, Edmontonians identify strongly with their city, particularly through hockey and the local Oilers franchise.
