Greater Strathcona

The terrain around Greater Strathcona is a gently rolling river-valley setting south of the North Saskatchewan River, which has shaped both the urban form and local economy. This Edmonton district includes Old Strathcona, centred on Whyte Avenue, where early-20th-century commercial buildings, independent shops and theatres give the area a distinct street life. Strathcona was once a separate city before joining Edmonton in 1912. The High Level Bridge links the south side with downtown across the river valley, while the Old Strathcona Farmers’ Market remains a regular Saturday institution.
