Finding the perfect work-life balance is not something everyone can do. Work, friends, family, social life – all of it can be overwhelming. Did you know that where you live also plays a role in that work-life balance? Well, it’s true! And it looks like some cities in Canada are better than others when it comes to it.
According to a new report by Point2, its analysts looked at very important data about Canada’s 100 largest cities “to determine where work-life fusion feels effortless.”
