Grant stranger Registered: 08/13/12 Posts: 2 Loc: Edmonton, Alberta, Canada	Do you know the word or phrase that is used to describe a person who is a resident of a particular city? For example, I live on Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I am an "Edmontonian". What do you call such a term? While you're at it, what city are you from and what are residents there called? Just curious. Thanks so much for any help you can offer. Grant
