    What a beautiful city. It's like living in a big community filled with friendly people. Come visit in the summer and go to any of the many festivals we have here. It's a blast!

    lived here for 30 years and just love it here, however with the finincial boom at the moment and the migration of people from all over the world here, I cannot help but wonder if that is not the cause of us having the trophy of being the murder capital of Canada.

    When it comes to violence in the city actually, this is one of the safest cities in the world to live and by numbers alone murders are down compared to Toronto and Winnipeg. Nevertheless my town here has the largest stretch of urban parkland north of Houston, the lowest taxes per-capita, the best air quality and overall the best quality of life based on everything combined in the entire world! Wouldn't live anywhere else. The winter will make you really appreciate your house!
