Toronto, Family travel
Toronto is such a beautiful city with an amazing atmosphere! I stayed with family in Rosedale during July and the weather was incredible. I never once felt unsafe during my visit, and everyone was so friendly and welcoming!

Toronto, Solo travel
Modern and clean city with plenty to do during the Summer. Lots of events, concerts, festivals going on for the whole period. Large cosmopolitan city so it's easy to meet people or travel buddies, if you're open to it. Had the most wonderful meal at Alo Bar. Love the amount of ice cream shops too.

Toronto, Group travel
I have traveled to Toronto 3 times recently, solo and with a friend. Most recently was for Caribana, celebrating Caribbean culture. There were many events taking place. Though I am not Caribbean, it was open to everyone. Driving in city wasn't too bad, though I am not used to street cars or light rails. Felt very safe and very diverse. Food was good. Didn't have too much Canadian only food but the Beaver Tails. Night life was great!

Our trip was amazing! If you want to experience a piece of Canadian wilderness, this is your sign to visit! The park has campsites, yurts, lodges, and resorts, but my group stayed in Huntsville and drove over. I would recommend the portage store, logging museum, and visitor centre. We didn't see moose, but we did see loons!

I loved my time there expensive but beautiful I especially love jericho beach, if you pay close attention when you’re close to the pounds in Jericho park, you can always spot beavers ! There’s also usually a heron and a large amount of ducks and geese hanging out as well

It’s a place when were you are walking alone… whether it’s in the day or in the night, danger isn’t your number 1 priority, the thing you mostly think about is having fun. Tho like in every place it’s smart to be careful and not giving your fully trust into anyone! P.S: people are usually friendly and respectful

Halifax
As someone who grew up in Halifax, I can assure you that Halifax is, for the most part, quite safe! I’ve accidentally fallen asleep in parks and on public transit (though I don’t recommend it), and haven’t had any issues! Areas to avoid if travelling alone at night: Gottingen Street (especially), Downtown Dartmouth, Spring Garden Road, the Commons, Robie Street, and Quinpool Road. I’ve only once had anyone lay their hands on me (a man put his arm around me while walking down Gottingen Street). Otherwise, I’ve been followed and yelled at around these areas, typically alone at night by unhoused populations.

There is an increased presence of people experiencing addiction and/or unhoused individuals near transit hubs that can be unpredictable. As in any urban environment, do not leave personal belongings unattended or in plain sight in your vehicle as a target for thieves. I walk from the skytrain to my house about 10 minutes away at night without fearing for my safety.

Montreal
Montreal is really safe. I walk at night without any fear. The worst crime for tourists right now is car theft. People are friendly in general. Do not hesitate to visit as a solo female traveler, you will not be disappointed.

Certain areas can be unsafe. Try to steer clear east of Jarvis st. Also avoid trillium park area, has lots of encampments. Touristy areas are generally pretty safe. The TTC Yonge line is safe to use during evenings.
