BC is the healthiest province, with Alberta second
Yesterday, I told you about Vermont being named the healthiest state in the US. Well, here's some news for us canucks -- BC has been voted the healthiest province in Canada, followed by Alberta in second, Saskatchewan in third and Ontario in the fourth place. Do you find these results surprising? I don't. I live in Alberta and while most people (read: those from Ontario) assume we're a bunch of beef-eating, beer-swilling rednecks, I know differently -- the majority of people here seem to be into fitness and healthy eating. And can you blame us? With the Rockies so nearby, it's hard to stay indoors.

Its interesting that the rankings are west - east (except manitoba)... what about the west makes it more healthy, in general, than the east?

Tim,
good question -- I wish I had the answer. Maybe it's down to the fact that most of cities in the BC and my part of Alberta are surrounded by lush wilderness, so there's more recreational opportunities to be had. Honestly, though, I'm stumped.
