It is a very safe city. There are a lot of students studying at night so even at night this place is very safe. Uptown, sometimes there are some drunk people but the police system is very good. Overall the city is clean and safe for women

I live in a quiet residential neighborhood far from downtown edmonton, and I feel very safe here. even when I’ve spent time in the city center during the day or walked around busy areas in the evening, I’ve always felt comfortable and safe. just staying aware of my surroundings, as anywhere

I visited Toronto for 4 days with a friend. We walked around even at night, and I didn’t feel unsafe. I wouldn’t say I felt scared, but if I were alone, I’d probably feel more anxious, especially in unfamiliar areas
