People living in Calgary can now be proud. Calgary is the best city to live in Canada this year, according to a report released by technology company MovingWaldo. Calgary is number one on the list of seven places in Canada with the highest quality of life in 2025. The ranking was prepared by analyzing quality of life, safety and affordability. Factors such as job opportunities, education and health care quality, sense of safety, public transportation, environmental cleanliness, recreational facilities and parks also made Calgary the top of the list.

Calgary topped Moving Waldo’s list last year due to its affordability and Banff. Moving Waldo says Calgary has a Crime Severity Index (CSI) of 72.47. The average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Calgary is $1,841. The average cost to purchase a property is $588,600. High demand for jobs in the oil and gas sector, as well as professions including nurse attendants, retail managers and administrative officers, also contributed to Calgary’s top spot.
