Living in Leduc

What it’s like

Leduc is one of the region’s main job centres, with the Edmonton International Airport and the Nisku business park next door. The name is known across Canada thanks to Leduc No. 1, the 1947 oil discovery nearby that started Alberta’s modern oil industry.

The city has grown by about a quarter since 2017, to around 40,000 people. Telford Lake and its trails run through town, the Leduc Recreation Centre has pools, arenas and a fieldhouse, and the Premium Outlet Collection at the airport is a few minutes away.
