The Kelowna to Edmonton route covers approximately 890 km eastward through the Rocky Mountains and across Alberta's prairies. This 9-10 hour journey via the Trans-Canada and Highway 2 takes you from the Okanagan through Vernon, Revelstoke, the national parks, and Red Deer to Alberta's capital.
Moving from Kelowna to Edmonton offers substantial housing savings—Edmonton has some of Alberta's most affordable housing with single-family homes averaging around $400,000, dramatically less than Kelowna's $1,060,000 average. You'll benefit from no provincial sales tax in Alberta and lower income tax rates. Edmonton offers abundant government jobs, a thriving arts scene, and world-class river valley parks.
Two Small Men expertly handles this interprovincial mountain corridor, navigating the Trans-Canada's mountain passes and Alberta's highways. Our experienced crews manage this longer single-day route efficiently.
Your belongings will travel approximately 890 km from Kelowna, British Columbia to Edmonton, Alberta.
Leaving Kelowna
Before leaving Kelowna:
Cancel your FortisBC utilities and set up service with EPCOR in Edmonton for both electricity and natural gas.
If selling your Kelowna property, you'll have significant equity for Edmonton's affordable market. Many relocators find they can upgrade their home substantially or purchase outright with funds remaining.
Winter driving through the mountain passes requires winter tires and can be hazardous. Consider moving between May and October for optimal road conditions.
Arriving in Edmonton
Welcome to Edmonton! Here's your arrival guide:
Visit an Alberta registry agent within 90 days to exchange your BC license and register your vehicle. Alberta uses private auto insurance—shop around for quotes as rates vary.
Register for Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) immediately. There's a waiting period, so keep your BC MSP coverage active during the transition.
Edmonton is 1 hour ahead of Kelowna (Mountain vs Pacific Time). Prepare for significantly colder winters—Edmonton sees sustained -20°C to -30°C temperatures without the chinooks Calgary gets. Invest in quality winter gear. The trade-off is more affordable living and Edmonton's incredible festival scene—it's Canada's 'Festival City.'
Edmonton's LRT connects key areas, but a car is helpful. Popular neighborhoods include Old Strathcona for arts and nightlife, Glenora for established character, and newer suburbs like Windermere and Summerside for family homes with modern amenities.
