In this video I compare the Alberta communities of Grande Prairie and Fort McMurray. These are the 2 largest population centres in Northern Alberta. Both cities are roughly the same size and they generally have robust local economies.

I compare these 2 communities in the following categories:

1 - Weather
2 - Goods + Services
3 - Job Market
4 - Property/Rental Prices
5 - Sports/Recreation
6 - Arts + Creative Scene
7 - Local Transit
8 - Postsecondary Institutions
9 - Crime/Disorder
10 - Access to Other Communities

There will be many different opinions on these places, please leave your comments below!

I hope you find this one interesting and informative.
