Northlands is a nonprofit, community driven organization overseen by a combination of approximately 30, either elected or appointed, board members - none of whom receive renumeration. Initially formed to showcase an agricultural theme, the organization now hosts numerous trade, craft and art shows, entertainment and sporting events, rodeo, racing and gaming and the Capital-Exhibition. Northlands generates over 300 million in revenue and is a major employer in Edmonton, however much of the success is due to a large dedicated, as well as, fluctuating group of volunteers working on all levels of the organization.This view taken from the ferris wheel at Northlands' Capital-Ex fairgrounds looks southwest across the Race Track to city centre (left) and Clarke Stadium (right).
