Hee Haw!
A rugged town in Alberta has been a best-kept secret for years.
But, the prize-winning bull is out of the barn on parade, now!
According to the Conference Board of Canada, Calgary is the most attractive city to migrants.
If you hang a turn due south of Edmonton - and trot about two-hundred miles along the sprawling range - you'll eventually breeze into Canada's third-largest populated city between Toronto (north of Buffalo) and Vancouver (partners in crime with Seattle to the south).
To outdoors enthusiasts, cow town is best-known (and loved) for winter sports.
The oil industry fuels the economy, while agriculture, tourism, and high-tech industries trail behind.The Conference Board relied on seven categories to get a fix on the stats.
Society, the economy, environment, education, innovation, and housing were vital factors they mulled over in order to rustle up their decision.
Top contenders for the coveted nod in the race for top grade "A" ratings were Waterloo, Ottawa, Vancouver, St. John's & Richmond Hill.
Vancouver (affectionately nick-named Hongcouver by the locals) is a stunning city; consequently, I was surprised to find the West Coast beach city a low-ball fourth on the list.
Although Richmond Hill is pretty swanky (every social climber's wet dream) I prefer stately Rosedale (and its old-world charm) and the Bridal Path (North of the city) to set my own sights on.
Vancouver West Coast gem!
