Ready to say “eh” to a better retirement? 🌈
In this first-ever global edition of our Gay Cities Series, we're heading to the land of maple syrup, mounties, and mild manners — but don’t let the politeness fool you. Canada is fierce when it comes to welcoming LGBTQ+ retirees.
From coastal charm in Halifax to queer-friendly arts in Victoria, we’re dishing on the top 5 Canadian cities where affordability, healthcare, and inclusivity meet. We’re rating each destination using our brand-new Queer Money® Retirement Rating, giving you a smarter way to choose where to live your next, best chapter.
💡 Top Takeaways:
- Windsor has mild winters, a killer view of Detroit, and rent that won’t melt your retirement budget.
- Calgary skips the sales tax and delivers majestic mountains and queer community spirit.
- Halifax is slow, sweet, and secretly one of Canada’s most affordable queer hubs.
- Victoria brings beachy vibes and progressive energy, if your wallet can handle it.
- Ottawa scores big with healthcare, green space, and Pride that pops.
🏳️🌈 Whether you're planning your next move or just manifesting it, this episode delivers the data — and the drama — so you can plan a retirement that’s as fabulous as you are.
