Overview
The city got it's name from the hamlet in Scotland, and the name is derived from Old Norse, and which was later used by the Vikings in the inner Hebrides, with the native people in Southern Alberta referring to the area as "elbow" hence the name of the two rivers itself. It enjoys a semi-monsoonal climate, within eastern parts of the city, and a subarctic climate in the west of the city due to the increase in elevation itself. Winters are typically very cold and it can drop below −20 °C for around 22 days of the year, and rather warm summers, up to 30 °C in a few hours, meaning the weather in the city can fluctuate wildly depending on the season. It has the sunniest days annually out of Canada's top 100 largest cities, and Summer weather are often tolerable and often not humid, and summer evenings tend to cool off throughout the Summer months itself.

The most frequently reported backgrounds of the city were British, German, Irish, French, and Ukrainian itself, and 60% of the population were from European origin, and 36.2% of the populace belonged to a visible minority, only 4% were natives or from First Nations origin itself. In the 2011 census, the median age for the city limits and it's CMA were 36.5 years in Alberta and 40.6 years in Canada itself, and in the same census, 50.09% of the population were male, and 49.91% of the population were male.

The city was designated as one of the cultural capitals of Canada in 2012, and while many choose to live in the city suburbs, popularity in the surrounding suburbs have greatly increased over time, especially Forest Lawn, and the Beltline itself..
