Reichenbach im Kandertal is a municipality in the district of Frutigen in the canton of Bern in Switzerland. The canton of Bern is the second largest of all Swiss cantons .
The canton of Bern is mainly drained by the River Aar and its tributaries. The whole area is in general very mountainous, with steep cliffs, many glaciers, and countless waterfalls.
The earliest evidence of human settlements in the Aare valley dates back to the Neolithic period. This settlement was partially fortified in the 2nd century BCE. It is thought to have been one of the twelve oppida of the Helvetii mentioned by Caesar.
From her inauspicious beginnings as a Celtic settlement in pre-Roman Central Europe, the city of Bern grew to become an aristocratic city republic and a major power in the Old Swiss Confederacy.

Edmonton is the capital of the Canadian province of Alberta. The city is located on the North Saskatchewan River in the central region of the province, an area with some of the most fertile farmland on the prairies.
Edmonton serves as the northern anchor of the Calgary-Edmonton Corridor and is a staging point for large-scale oil sands projects occurring in northern Alberta and large-scale diamond mining operations in the Northwest Territories.
The first inhabitants settled in the area that is now Edmonton around 3,000 BC and perhaps as early as 10,000 BC, when an ice-free corridor opened up as the last ice age ended. In 1754, Anthony Henday, an explorer working for the Hudson’s Bay Company, may have been the first European to enter the Edmonton area.
The first mosque established in North America—the Al-Rashid Mosque, founded by Abdullah Yusuf Ali—is situated in Edmonton.
