Study says Saskatoon ‘best place to live in Saskatchewan’

A new study released Tuesday ranks Saskatoon as the best place to live in Saskatchewan and 15th best in Canada.

MoneySense Magazine’s annual study of best places to live in Canada graded 180 cities with populations over 10,000 on 17 criteria including crime rates, population growth, weather and housing.

Ottawa-Gatineau topped the list, with Victoria, B.C. and Burlington, Ont. coming in second and third.

Regina was the next-best Saskatchewan city, coming in 23rd, followed by Swift Current in 50th.

New Glasgow, Nova Scotia was unlucky No. 180, while North Battleford was the lowest ranking Saskatchewan city at No. 99.
