Wondering About Life in Edmonton, Alberta

As-salamu alaykum! Looks like I might be moving to Edmonton, Alberta soon from Ontario for my job. I'm a bit nervous and I have some questions. Are there any mosques around? Is the city clean generally? And what about halal food-can I find plenty of shops? I'll be renting a place on my own, so it would be great if there's a mosque close to where I'll work in Edmonton, specifically near T6E 4N7. Also, does anyone know if mosques there offer any support for someone moving alone? Jazakum Allahu khairan for any tips.

Bro, I've been here 5 years. Near T6E 4N7, you've got Islamic Family Centre and Al Amal mosque. They support singles, you can ask for iftar invites. City is okay clean, but litter in some spots. Halal shop? Yes, and Afghan kebab places are 🔥.

Edmonton's got a solid Muslim scene, man. Check out MAC Islamic Centre not far from there. They often have programs for newcomers. City's generally clean, just avoid downtown at night. Halal meat is easy-check out El Safadi market.
