The Reading Passport: Books set in Alberta
Alberta is the 4th largest Canadian province in landmass and population. Although landlocked, with no access to any ocean, water is very much present in its landscape with over 600 freshwater lakes in Alberta. The province also holds the record for the fastest temperature change ever recorded, when in 1962 temperature went from -19 °C to 22 °C in 1 hour at Pincher Creek. There is a wide range of attractions in Alberta: magnificent night skies in Bon Accord, the Calgary Stampede in July, the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology, an inland lighthouse in Sylvan Lake, Lake Louise World Ice Carving Competition every winter, or the world's largest indoor rollercoaster in West Edmonton Mall.
