Leduc Education

Highest certificate, diploma or degree for the population aged 15 and over, Census 2021. The highest-credential groups are mutually exclusive.

About Leduc

Leduc is a city immediately south of Edmonton, beside Edmonton International Airport and the Nisku industrial park. The 1947 Leduc No. 1 oil well, just west of town, set off Alberta’s modern oil boom and still shapes local identity. Telford Lake and a compact downtown sit among neighbourhoods that have grown with the airport and energy economy. About 34,000 people live in Leduc.
