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.

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
I feel very secure in Montreal. Of course, it depends on the neighborhood and the time of day. I’ve never had any problems. Usually quebecers are very nice, welcoming and helpful if you ask them for an advice or an information.

I leave my doors unlocked more than locked. Everyone is very friendly and helpful if you ever need assistance or aide. Its very clean, very high standards of leaving things the way you found them. After dark is extremely quiet and peaceful - not scary or uncomfortable. Never feel like i need to look over my shoulder and watch out for someone following or anything like that.

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.
