Sorry, pet peeve. It's Edmonton, ALBERTA[, Canada]. Canada has provinces, just like the U.S. has states. You'd never say Berkeley, United States would you?
In answer to your question, Edmonton's not a very big community. I'd be surprised if it had separate schools.

One Orthodox shul, most of the people who attend are not frum. One Chabad and a very small kollel.
I think there are 2 day schools one frum and one not, they are both co-ed. There are no Jewish high schools.
They have JSU (NCSY run public school clubs) in one or two of the public high schools. There is a mikva, maybe a tiny restaurant in the mall and one of the grocery stores has a decent size kosher section. That's about it.

I live in hamilton, canada, and in general, I do say it that way when speaking to americans or people outside of canada. there are numerous hamiltons in the world as there are multiple torontos. there is also an edmonton in kentucky.
while I agree in principle with what you are saying, in practice, it is just as well to write canada.
lol

| Just want to add that I might be a bit off since I have only been there to visit and never lived there. My sources are gathered from people who do live there and people who lived there in the past so I am not to sure how up to date my info is but I think it gives a pretty good picture of the size of the frum community.

There is a large frum Shul, a vibrant KOlel and a Chabad. There is a frum day school and high school only co-Ed for the younger grades. You can get tons of kosher food including chalav Yisroel. They have a kosher dairy cafe and some other small kosher private bakery.
It is a very nice and warm community, an out of town type,everyone friendly and helping each other out.
KOlel very active in outreach and they have shiurim and classes.

I'd never say Toronto, Canada. I'd say Toronto. If asked which one I'd say Ontario. (Just like with London.) THEN if someone asked where Ontario is, then I'd answer Canada.

| But you do say London, England or Paris, France. I don't know what province France is so I don't identify the province, most Americans don't know the provinces in Canada so there is no point in identifying them.

| You say London, England and Paris, France because (and any of our UK or French members can correct me) AFAIK those countries are NOT divided into provinces or states. Just like you say Jerusalem, Israel. You have divisions within the country (municipal councils/regions in Israel, and I think in France the regions may even be called "provinces"), but they are not the equivalent of American states or Canadian provinces in terms of practical usage. (Best example I can think of is that provinces and states each have capitals and legislatures of their own; regions in other countries don't.)

In France regions are regions, or officially départements. Paris is in Ile de France officially, more often called région parisienne...

You would say Melbourne, Australia even though the country is divided into states. In Australia (if you were talking to someone there or lived there) you would probably specify.

Right, but when you address an envelope, so you write Paris, Ile de France or Paris, Region Parisienne, or Paris, France? (My guess, actually, is that it's probably Paris, Ile de France on one line, and if you're sending from outside the country, France on the the next...)

You don't put the department or region on at all. Just:
Name
28 rue Whatever
75017 Paris
France
The first 2 digits of the code postal correspond to the department.
You don't need to put the county name on UK addresses, either. Or the district. Properly speaking, all you'd need to put is 221b Baker Street, London, NW1 6XE. (UK postcodes correspond to small groups of buildings, so theoretically, all you need is a building number and postcode to identify an address.)

Yes this is still truth 100% full parking lots on shabbat & HH ....We left a comfortable life there for bigger/better schools ,a harder life here but no regrets DD had a grade 6 7 blended class of 8 girls .
Kollel side is small but nice ,but the comunity is VERY small ...ASK your Rav on how to proceed but most Poseks have advised frum families who asked to leave once kids are older than grade 3.
it was hard to interact with the machalel shabbat crowd ...they think they are orthodox
