For many years young graduates have begun to move to larger cities to the east for bigger companies and better opportunities. The Canadian press is reporting that provinces to the west of Ontario have been luring new residents with the promise of new job opportunities and economic strength. Their rate of growth has outpaced Ontario, census figures shows that “Alberta grew at a rate of 10.8 per cent, British Columbia 7 per cent and Saskatchewan 6.7 per cent…” This rate of growth has led to a shift in how western Canada is perceived, “observers say even as westward bound job-seekers are putting down roots and expanding their families, those who originally hail from Western Canada are choosing to stay put.” This new positivity is the real reason for this growth, along with stronger guarantees for jobs. Western provinces, Alberta in particular, is working hard to boost number. Due to this new revitalization, now is the perfect time to look closely at moving to Alberta and an Edmonton home.
