DescriptionCities in western Canada out-performed the rest of the country in a national newsmagazine's examination of municipal services and value per tax dollar.

Maclean's magazine, which has attracted attention in the past for its annual rankings of universities, delved into local government for its current issue and determined that the best-run city in Canada is Burnaby, B.C.

Indeed, medium-sized cities dominated the top slots of the magazine's study, which looked at a long list of civic services, from snow removal to recreational facilities and evaluated them based on objective criteria.

Here are the magazine's top 10 cities:

1) Burnaby, BC
2) Saskatoon, SK
3) Surrey, BC
4) Vancouver, BC
5) Longueuil, QC
6) Sherbrooke, QC
7) London, ON
8) Saint John, NB
9) Quebec City, QC
10) Toronto, ON
