The list represents the Canadian subset of the [[atlas-tier-index-north-america|North American ranked index]]. Sites are evaluated based on the proximity of Secondary [[co-location-anchors|anchors]] (Costco, Home Depot) and Tertiary institutional infrastructure (Healthcare, Higher Education) to the Primary Target anchor (Walmart Supercentre). ## Tier 5 (★★★★★) — Full co-location sites The following municipalities host nodes that have achieved full commercial convergence, with all primary, secondary, and tertiary anchors present within the required catchment radii. | Rank | Municipality | Province | Primary Anchor | Secondary Coverage (≤3km) | Institutional (≤5km) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 1 | Grande Prairie | AB | Walmart Supercentre | Home Depot, Costco | Hospital, Regional College | | 2 | Milton | ON | Walmart Supercentre | Home Depot, Costco | Hospital, College Campus | | 3 | Dartmouth | NS | Walmart Supercentre | Home Depot, Costco | General Hospital, College | | 4 | South Edmonton | AB | Walmart Supercentre | Home Depot, Costco | Medical Centre, University | | 5 | Saskatoon | SK | Walmart Supercentre | Home Depot, Costco | Hospital, University | | 6 | Kitchener | ON | Walmart Supercentre | Home Depot, Costco | Hospital, College | | 7 | Calgary (South) | AB | Walmart Supercentre | Home Depot, Costco | Health Centre, University | | 8 | Moncton | NB | Walmart Supercentre | Home Depot, Costco | City Hospital, College | | 9 | Abbotsford | BC | Walmart Supercentre | Home Depot, Costco | Regional Hospital, University | | 10 | Guelph | ON | Walmart Supercentre | Home Depot, Costco | General Hospital, University | | 11 | Red Deer | AB | Walmart Supercentre | Home Depot, Costco | Hospital, College | | 12 | Oshawa | ON | Walmart Supercentre | Home Depot, Costco | Hospital, University | *Note: Rank is determined by the specific proximity distances within the matrix.
