BURLINGTON, ON
I’ve always wondered why Burlington gets all wound up over a news article that ranks them is as one of the best places to live.
Do they need others to tell them?
A waterfront that is one of the best in the province.
A Globe and Mail Ranking Burlington came in 5th of Canada’s most livable cities. Victoria BC was the top city, followed by North Vancouver, Winnipeg, Regina and then Burlington, The survey ranked the cities on a variety of categories, including economy, housing, demographics, healthcare, safety, education, community, amenities, transportation and climate. Behind these broad categories were dozens of sub-categories. A total of 439 communities were assessed for the ranking.
Burlington scored in the top ten in the categories of:
- Best for raising kids (9)
- Best for midlife transitions (3)
- And Best for newcomers (7)

Does it get any better than this?
Good news is rare these days, & I for one welcome living in one of Canada’s top 10 cities! Not that difficult to understand.
We moved from the Bloor & Parkside area to Burlington in 1990, and our only regret was that we should have done so earlier.
