I must have scanned over that region at least twice on Google maps looking for that name.
Unfortunately the font type on the map was slightly different :sad:

Edmonton itself has fewer than 1,000,000 inhabitants, but as the Wikipedia article says, its metropolitan area has over a population of over 1,100,000.
