The report also shows that Canada has numerous sectors that rank among the top ten globally, including:

• $11.5 billion on mental wellness (#3);
• $1.9 billion on workplace wellness (#6);

GWI explains in the report: “Canada’s vast natural beauty, surrounded by the Pacific, Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, offers Canadians diverse wellness opportunities. From national parks and hot springs to mountains and lakes, entrepreneurs and innovators contribute to a broad wellness ecosystem, presenting unique activities and experiences with a strong commitment to environmental sustainability. It’s easy to live in a country that values wellness principles as core to living a long and healthy lifestyle. This integration includes nature-centric designs that emphasize green spaces, accessibility, and community wellbeing, fostering holistic living environments. Canada’s multicultural environment is enhanced by the diversity of every community and the wellness traditions they embrace.”
