Canada, Group travel
Went camping in Canada with a camper van to explore the country better. Was a very fun experience. Got to see lots of different places and meet great people. Saw lots of small towns with charm. Not too crowded.

My trip to Toronto in June 2025 was one of my favorite travel experiences. I traveled with a friend, explored different neighborhoods, tried new restaurants, visited famous landmarks, and experienced the city’s multicultural atmosphere. The trip gave me a deeper appreciation for travel, local culture, and making lasting memories through new experiences.

Ajax
Overall it's a fairly servant town that has a little bit of teenage Hooligans who might drive a bit too fast a little bit of drug problems near the city hall area. Overall I think that Ajax is extremely safe I've never felt threatened or really had any major problems during the day. I think as you get closer to Oshawa there are more problems

I feel extremely safe in Quebec, it is full of live but still calm and welcoming. I’m always comfortable walking alone, even at night, people are helpful and open minded. Some areas have more homeless people, but i’ve rarely had trouble with any of them. I would not say Quebec is an unsafe city

Pretty safe, some disturbances during the day depending. Especially in Rideau area. But I have never felt unsafe and have lived here my entire life. Can comfortably walk at night and if you forget to lock your car doors you probably won’t have any issues. In the downtown core you might run into people who are struggling with addiction but they are kind and won’t give you issues if you don’t bother them.

Stoney Creek
I would say Stoney creek is safe. Crime is low. I will walk around alone after dark if I have to but as a basic safety measure I tend to walk in groups at night. During the day I’ve never felt unsafe alone.
