Many of the same Alberta city names are once again prominently featured in a list of Canada's top entrepreneurial cities, as selected by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB).

The CFIB's 2010 Communities in Boom entrepreneurial cities list is headed by Grande Prairie, in a bounce-back year for the oil and gas service centre in the province's northwest.

The Alberta-Saskatchewan border city, Lloydminster, is second on the CFIB's list, with three other Alberta cities making the top 10: Edmonton at No. 5, Red Deer at No. 6 and Wood Buffalo/Fort McMurray at No. 10.

Calgary is down the list at No. 13.
