For several years now, The Globe and Mail has been ranking Canada’s Most Livable Cities. However, this time around, in our third edition of the rankings (https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-canada-most-livable-cities-third-edition/), we have introduced some noteworthy changes.
Livability is a nuanced topic, with no universal solution that fits everyone. One of the key considerations when determining where to reside is community size. In this latest edition, we have implemented a system that differentiates the rankings based on population size. As a result, Ottawa (https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-canada-most-livable-major-city-ottawa/) has been recognized as the most livable major city, while North Vancouver (https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-canada-most-livable-large-city-north-vancouver/), West Vancouver (https://www.globeandmail.com/business/article-canada-most-livable-medium-sized-city-west-vancouver/), and Pitt Meadows (https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-canada-most-livable-small-city-pitt-meadows/) have emerged as leaders in their respective population categories.
Our comprehensive ranking evaluated hundreds of communities across Canada, organizing them according to various factors that Canadians typically consider when searching for a new place to call home.
On February 6th, from 1 to 2 p.m. ET, our data editor Mahima Singh (https://www.theglobeandmail.com/authors/mahima-singh/), consumer affairs reporter Mariya Postelnyak (https://www.theglobeandmail.com/authors/mariya-postelnyak/), and reporter Andrew Galbraith will be available to address reader inquiries regarding the third edition of the Livable Cities rankings. They will delve into why certain communities rank highly and what the position of your community on the list signifies for you.
Have you ever wondered why the Vancouver area consistently ranks so highly? What specific elements led Ottawa to take the top spot? How do we determine the rankings each year? Now is your chance to ask your questions!
