Quality of Place Adds Balance to Life

For the last three years, MoneySense magazine has ranked Burlington as one of the best places to live in Canada, and the top ranked city in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). In fact, Burlington is the only city in the GTA to make it into the top twenty-five best places to live across the country.

Burlington offers a blend of opportunities for people to work, do business and live here. Less time commuting means more time to:

• Engage in a kid's soccer game at a local park
• Enrich your experience at the many annual waterfront festivals
• Embrace nature at the Royal Botanical Gardens
• Explore the Niagara Escarpment parks and trails
• Experience our vibrant downtown through dining and shopping escapades
• Enjoy a bike ride or walk the dog along the Lake Ontario promenade

Nestled between the greenbelt of the Niagara Escarpment and breathtaking views of Lake Ontario, it's not surprising that Burlington expects to add another 22,000 residents over the next 20 years, along with a comparable level of new businesses and jobs.
