Vancouver is a great place to live, and our city has just been ranked third best for quality of living in the entire world by Mercer, because of its safe neighborhood, thriving economy, temperate weather, surrounding green nature, multiple parks, and many other perks.

With a free and universal Health Care System, Vancouver’s hospitals are among the best in the country. According to the Commonwealth Fund, Canada’s health system is the second best in the world.

In terms of community, Vancouver and its surrounding cities are home to a close-knit Modern Orthodox Jewish Community with a strong sense of belonging.
