The province is full of lakes, mountains, and wildlife, with natural scenery everywhere you go head.
Alberta has one of the lowest taxes among Canadian provinces, as well as a higher average salary, affordable housing, and the ability to choose a lifestyle that suits you, whether it be metropolitan or rural. Physicians relocating with families will also appreciate the amount of outdoor space and activities, along with the superb quality of education their children would receive.
