Cada ano, MoneySense taxas Canada’s Best Places to Live, pesando fatores tão diversos quanto o clima, rendas e impostos, perspectivas de emprego, acesso aos cuidados de saúde, acessibilidade para casa, taxas de criminalidade, and overall lifestyle, including the percentage of people who walk or bike to work.
Na sua 2013 relatório, they’ve grouped their findings by city size, listing Canada’s Top 10 Grandes Cidades, InÃcio 10 Cidades de médio porte, e InÃcio 10 Pequenas Cidades.
Este ano, Calgary superou a Ottawa para o primeiro lugar entre as grandes cidades, for its booming job market and laid-back lifestyle. Though consistently rated one of the most beautiful cities in Canada, Vancouver ficou em último entre as grandes cidades do 2013 MoneySense lista, because the cost of living (particularly housing) is the nation’s highest.
Vários Ontário communities — most in the “Golden Horseshoe” surrounding Toronto — ranked high among the mid-sized cities, earning good marks for well-paying jobs and access to cultural and arts activities. Alberta dominated the list of best smaller cities; despite the harsh winter weather, residents in these communities enjoy affordable housing, low unemployment, and comparatively high incomes.
