Oxford County Scores Well!

WOODSTOCK - While "We're No. 30" might not have the most inspiring ring, it still means the City of Woodstock finished in the top 20 per cent of MoneySense magazine's list of top Canadian cities.
In the national magazine's May 2008 issue, Woodstock is ranked 30th out of 154 Canadian communities with populations greater than 10,000, finishing higher on this list of "Canada's Best Places to Live" than cities like Peterborough, Calgary, Toronto, Kitchener and Hamilton. As for cities with the same approximate population as Woodstock, only Stratford ranked higher at No. 27.
"It reinforces what we already know," Woodstock development commissioner Len Magyar said. "Woodstock is a great place to live."While Woodstock didn't score particularly high in any of the categories that helped determine this third annual list, the city seemed to hover around the middle to top one-third of the rankings, which was just enough for its relatively high finish.
Last year, Woodstock was not included in the rankings.
