Where is the best place to live in Canada?
Well, there are a lot of different factors that go into that. Again, depends on what you’re looking for.Want safety and a great place to raise a family? Choose one of Toronto’s suburb towns. I would recommend Mississauga, Burlington, and my hometown of Oakville. They’re all very safe and filled with families and younger people. High school there was a great experience, and in my mind the region is one of the best places to raise kids.Want the big city? Toronto is my recommendation. It’s a vibrant, big and beautiful city, and to top it off, one of the most diverse in the world, with over 50% of the population being foreign born. I don’t know where you’re from, but chances are you’ll find people from your own culture there. Or maybe an entire neighbourhood of your culture. Who knows!Want to live in a small town away from everything? There are no shortages of those. The entire country is dotted with small communities, townships and smaller cities. In my opinion, the most beautiful and close knit small towns lie in the Maritime provinces. During my visit to Prince Edward Island I absolutely loved the sort of small town feel the entire place had.Is nature your thing? Try living near the Rockies. You can live on the Alberta side with the Rockies a quick road trip away, and Edmonton can give you both the city experience as well as the nature experience. Also, Central and Northern Ontario are a beautiful region of forests and lakes. The largest city is Sudbury, but there are numerous other small places where you can make a good home for yourself. The truly adventurous could look at Yukon Territory in Canada’s far north.Are you just looking to move somewhere as cheap as possible? I’m looking for that too, and I’ve found the cheapest place to rent is the towns and minor cities along the St. Lawrence in Quebec. However, they come with the added difficulty of French being the language…History buff? Try Quebec City. The city was founded by Samuel de Champlain himself in 1608, and it’s history extends centuries. The buildings remind me of France, in many ways. There’s a lot to learn.Those are my thoughts. I’m sure there are more, but I’ve only included places I’ve been and know about :) there isn’t really a “best” place to live, but these are just some places to consider.
