Yellowknife named Canada’s third most romantic city

Fort McMurray climbs to No. 1 from its previous No.3 as for the first time in the last seven years, Victoria, British Columbia is not in the top spot.

Whitehorse was also included in the list at No. 11. When it came to the Territories, Amazon noted that things were heating up North. 

“With two cities on this year’s list hailing from territories, the residents of Yellowknife and Whitehorse sure know how to cuddle up and stay warm in the northern Canadian cold.“

Five of the 20 spots went to capitals cities including Yellowknife, Whitehorse, Toronto, Victoria and Edmonton. The nation’s’ capital, Ottawa, came in 6th place.
