Kelowna Tops List of Canada’s Greenest Cities, Encouraging Sustainable Living
In response to the climate issue, Canadian communities are taking significant initiatives to fight environmental difficulties by introducing sustainable solutions. Municipalities are supporting lower-carbon means of transportation while improving air quality by emphasising walkability, bike lanes, and greenspaces.
The Re/Max company recently performed a research in cooperation with GreaterTorontoHomePros.com to find the greenest cities in Canada. The research used a 10-point scale to assess 29 communities across the country, taking into account aspects like walkability, parks, greenspaces, hiking trails, and air quality in relation to their respective populations.
Kelowna, British Columbia, leads the group with a score of 70.63 out of 100. The city’s natural splendour, with trails and forests nearby, was important in achieving its top rank. Furthermore, Kelowna’s commitment to constructing pedestrian and bicycle pathways contributed to its excellent rating. Lethbridge, Alberta, located in the province’s south, comes in second with a score of 66.39. The city’s wealth of parks, which account for 23.3 percent of its total area, helped it climb the rankings. Despite having a lower walkability score, Lethbridge excelled in bicycle infrastructure and hiking routes, demonstrating its dedication to sustainable outdoor activities.
