In a quality of life ranking of 415 communities in Canada, West Nipissing placed 82nd overall.

“We may be number 82 on this list, but West Nipissing will always be the best,” said Mayor Joanne Savage.

The Municipality of West Nipissing also finished the highest of all of the Northern Ontario communities included in Maclean’s annual ranking of “Best communities in Canada 2019.”

Other rankings from Northern Ontario communities:

In 2018, MoneySense ranked West Nipissing as the best place to live in Canada with low property taxes.

“This is not the first time West Nipissing is recognized as one of the best communities, and it will certainly not be the last,” said Savage.

“The story of our vibrant and charming community is making its way across Canada. As proud hosts of the 2019 IPM, we will soon have a greater opportunity to share our quality of life with others from around the world. Every one of us who is proud to call West Nipissing home knows that our ‘joie de vivre’ shines through our great services and the generous people of our municipality.”
