THUNDER BAY – Thunder Bay is now in the top twenty in MoneySense Magazine’s listing of best cities to live in Canada. The city continues to climb in the annual rankings. Last year, Thunder Bay was ranked twenty-fourth. “Canada’s Best Places to Live 2011 is based on data compiled from 180 Canadian cities and towns with populations over 10,000 people. Cities were rated based on home affordability, climate, prosperity, crime rates, access to health care and lifestyle, with subcategories in each area.
