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

Montreal
Definitely safe for solo traveling women. Never been scared to use public transportation late at night or to walk back home. There are specific downtown spots where homeless/addict people hangout, i would not go there in the middle of the night on purpose, but otherwise, very very safe city with welcoming people.

Safe for single ladies to walk around on their own in the day, and at night too. Just avoid dark alleys for normal safety precautions. Transportation runs efficiently and is safe as well. Montreal is a safe city.

I would describe Calgary as a safe place to travel. The only thing I have to say is that there are often drug addicts on the train or near the train station. They can make you feel uncomfortable, especially if they try talking to you, but they usually don't do anything. Sometimes I just change the train cars.

Montreal is one of the safest cities in Canada for solo female travellers! The public transit system is extremely well designed with safety in mind and all the neighbourhoods in and around the city are very safe for women!

Winnipeg is fairly safe. Always be careful at night. Most crime is in downtown area. Avoid it at night alone. You may see beggars, homeless people and encampments downtown and along river. They usually won’t bother you if you don’t bother them. I am always on edge a little and watching out for erratic behaviour in folks and steering clear in those cases. Generally safe if you follow all usual rules about safety.
