PODCAST: Victoria and Kelowna are Canada’s best small cities
The inaugural report of the ‘Best Small Cities in Canada’ states 82 per cent of Canadians now live in cities. According to the Chris Fair of Resonance Consultancy, it has taken approximately 100 years for that shift in society for Canada to become so urbanized.
“They offer great environment, great quality of life, are popular for visitors, so they’re popular as places to live.” he said. Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps says the biggest misconception about Victoria is “we’re a sleepy little town where people come to retire, but Victoria has changed in the last decade.”
Kelowna was named the second-best small city in Canada. The report shows that Kelowna is a very active hub for arts and entertainment.
