Red Deer

This mid-sized Alberta city on the Red Deer River, roughly halfway between Calgary and Edmonton, with a walkable centre offering a solid range of cafés and restaurants. Set in aspen parkland country of rolling hills, it serves as central Alberta's main hub for oil, gas, agriculture, and retail. The city has a notable political connection: former mayor Edward Michener later became a Canadian senator, and his son Roland Michener served as Governor General of Canada.
