WINNIPEG — Winnipeg gets middle-of-the-pack grades in a new report by the Conference Board of Canada that gauges the attractiveness of cities to migrants.
Calgary, Waterloo, Ottawa, Vancouver, St. John’s and Richmond Hill have what migrants are looking for when choosing where to locate, according to the report issued this morning called City Magnets II: Benchmarking the Attractiveness of 50 Canadian Cities.
Winnipeg, on the other hand, ranks 22 of the 50 cities measured.
The report gives each city a grade on seven categories like economy, education, environment, health, housing, innovation and society.
Winnipeg’s highest grade is a “B” in environment, but it pulls off a “C” grade in everything else .
“Cities that fail to attract new people will struggle to stay prosperous and vibrant,” Mario Lefebvre, the board’s director of municipal studies, said in a statement.
