Top Canadian Cities

A US consulting company has announced their top Canadian cities for young professionals (like me). The company’s founder, Rebecca Ryan says:

“The next generation is very savvy about choosing where they’ll live. They look carefully at quality of life factors like how much time they’re going to spend in traffic commuting, if they can live near a park or hike-and-bike trail, and whether a city’s downtown stays awake after five.”

Victoria, Ottawa and Vancouver got the top three positions:

1. Victoria, British Columbia
2. Ottawa, Ontario
3. Vancouver, British Columbia
4. Kingston, Ontario
5. Halifax, Nova Scotia
6. Toronto, Ontario
7. Calgary, Alberta
8. Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
9. London, Ontario
10. Edmonton, Alberta
