6. Canmore, AB
Canmore’s proximity to Calgary and numerous national parks including Banff, Kootenay and Yoho, make it quite an attractive location for settling down. Property tax of 2.69% isn’t as bad as it looks since property is usually less expensive in smaller mountain towns. Canmore also boasts 3.7 physicians per 1,000 of its inhabitants, 159 above zero days which is understandable for a mountain town, and only 322 mm of rainfall a year – lowest among listed cities.
