4. Joliette, QC
Joliette’s proximity to Montreal doesn’t even need to be mentioned as its advantage. 3.9 physicians per 1,000 inhabitants is another perk of spending the golden years here, and so is property tax of 2.14%. Joliette ranks as high on this list of 11 best places to retire in Canada as it does thanks to 202 averagely warm days per year and precipitation of 813 mm.
3. Vernon, BC
We’re closing this list with a trio of British Columbia cities. Vernon is relatively far from the Pacific Ocean and, hence receives only 333 mm of rainfall a year. At the same time, 249 days feature temperatures higher than 0 ºC (32 ºF), which means that weather is more than suitable for retirees. 3 doctors per 1,000 of the city’s inhabitants is another one of Vernon’s perks, and only property tax of 2.81% slightly ruins the picture. However, a property in Vernon isn’t that highly priced for property tax to make too much fuss.
