Believe it or not, Airdrie made a list of the Top 20 most romantic cities in Canada this Monday (February 5th).

The list was compiled by Amazon Canada who compiled data based on the sales of romance novels, romantic comedies, relationship books, jewelry and sexual wellness items in 2017.

Airdrie placed 16th on the list while Victoria claimed the top spot for the sixth year in a row.

Other Alberta cities that made the list include Fort McMurray at #5, Sherwood Park at #8 and Grand Prairie at #15.

We asked workers along Main Street what they thought about Airdrie being a romantic city.

"I find that very surprising and a little bit funny, perhaps it's because there's nothing else to do here," said one resident, "If I think about it, the Canals are romantic, the parks are romantic so I could see that and it's a young community as well," said another.

Many we asked were surprised that Airdrie would make such a list.

"It's awesome, I guess," said one man, "Seriously?" said another.
