Gas and Electric Services
In Alberta, power, water and gas are not under one umbrella as in other places. You have to set the services up individually and can rate shop.
Here are some options to get you started:
- Direct Energy: www.directenergy.com
- Epcor: www.epcor.com
- Atco Gas: www.atcogas.com
You can have one service for both, or 2 different ones if it makes sense to separate them.
This sites will help you look up other options, and compare rates:
Water
Epcor does Edmonton water. Townships and small towns are often served by the County they are in.
Any of the adjacent towns will be governed by that town or county:

Schools
In terms of schools, all schools have equal funding here, so all are good in a sense. However, different schools offer different things. We also do have a publicly funded Catholic School System.
