LETHBRIDGE, AB – According to one fast food chain, Lethbridge is a very happy city.

McDonald’s has released a list of the Canadian communities where it sold the most Happy Meals in 2023.

The top city in Alberta last year was Lethbridge, while Langley, B.C. topped the national list.

A portion of Happy Meal sales goes towards Ronald McDonald House Charities Canada.

McDonald’s Restaurants of Canada President and CEO Michèle Boudria says, to date, more than $100 million has been contributed to the charity thanks to the sales of more than one billion Happy Meals.

The other top-selling cities in Canada were:

• Manitoba: Thompson
• Saskatchewan: Prince Albert
• Ontario: Mississauga
