Alberta is the only province (apart from the Northwest Territories and Yukon) that does not apply an extra sales tax on all purchases over and above the general sales tax of seven per cent. Artwork available in the province includes pottery, ceramics, sculptures and paintings. There are numerous malls in Edmonton, including Heritage Mall and the huge West Edmonton Mall. Speciality shops can be found in the Old Strathcona district, from boutiques to a farmer’s market. The Kensington district – Calgary’s village in the city – has over 140 excellent shops and restaurants.
Shopping hours Mon-Fri 1000-1700; Sat 1000-2100 (malls are generally open until 2100).
