Surprise surprise folks, Vancouver just got another ranking. This time we’ve been ranked as one of the world’s best cities for living a well-rounded and healthy lifestyle. And if you ask us, it seems pretty appropriate that we made the list.

The study was done by Lenstore and analyzed 44 cities globally based on 10 different metrics. Some of those metrics included things like hours of sunshine, life expectancy, and pollution. And when it comes to Vancouver we ranked number 10 on the list with an overall happiness level of 7.23. So we’re doing pretty well!
