Alberta

Alberta is a province in western Canada. Its capital is Edmonton, while Calgary is its largest city and economic centre. The province has a population of about 4.5-million and is one of Canada's wealthiest regions, driven by its substantial natural resource base. Alberta's economy has historically been dominated by oil and gas extraction, with the province holding vast reserves of crude oil in the Athabasca oil sands and significant conventional petroleum and natural gas deposits. The energy sector remains central to provincial revenues and employment, though economic diversification efforts have expanded agriculture, technology and renewable energy industries. Alberta also possesses emerging lithium resources in subsurface brines, which are being explored for battery-grade lithium carbonate production using direct lithium extraction technologies. The province operates under a parliamentary system with a unicameral legislature and is part of the Canadian confederation. Alberta is a member of the Western Canadian provinces and plays a significant role in national energy policy and interprovincial trade. The province was established in 1905, carved from the Northwest Territories, and has since developed into a key driver of Canada's resource economy.
