built 273 days ago
For 200 years the history of Alberta was the history of the fur trade in western Canada (see fur trade). It was a part of vast Rupert's Land, granted to the Hudson's Bay Company in 1670 by Charles II of England. Alberta was unoccupied... until the rival North West Company built forts in the late 18th century.

Come experience Alberta's adventures in hunting. From the southern prairies to the foothills and mountains in the west, and through the parkland to the boreal forest in the north, the variety of big game and game birds is unparalleled in Canada.

Alberta lies in three of Canada's seven major physiographic regions. These are the Interior Plains, with their continuation northward in wooded parklands and heavy forests; the Rocky Mountain section of the Cordilleran Region in the southwest; and in the extreme northeast, the Canadian Shield.
