SASKATOON — The city’s nightlife proved to be more vibrant than Toronto’s, based on the latest data released on the average number of late-night trips by Uber and Uber Eats in each city every month.
Uber’s annual trends report on Canadian party culture, which aggregates and weights activity to account for population size differences across the country, covers the period from September 2024 to September 2025.
Uber and Uber Eats tracked last year’s late-night activities and trends from each of Canada’s cities, including the country’s Top 5 favourite morning-after cures or hangover foods based on the volume of orders between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. (The Top 5 post-party recovery foods are coffee, hash browns, bagels, breakfast wraps, and iced coffee.)
London is the top party city in Canada, followed by Winnipeg, Saskatoon, with Toronto dropping to fourth place, while Regina, another Saskatchewan city, rounded out the Top 5. Windsor is the third Ontario city on the list, ranked sixth overall.
Placing seventh is St. John’s in Newfoundland and Labrador, followed by Nova Scotia’s capital, Halifax, while Vancouver and Edmonton completed the Top 10.
Toronto residents, however, proved to be classy riders, using Uber Black and Premier rides, a luxury ride option, more often than in any other Canadian city. In contrast, those from Vancouver are the most social riders, with the highest number of UberX Share trips.
New Year’s Eve (Dec. 31), Halloween Weekends (Oct. 26 and Nov. 2), Holiday Party Season (Dec. 14), St. Patrick’s Day Weekend (March 15), and the Calgary Stampede (July 12) are the Top 5 biggest partying nights across the country based on ride volume from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m.
Uber Canada and Mothers Against Drunk Driving are united in saying that 66 per cent of Canadians agree that having options like Uber helps reduce drunk driving in their area, according to a recent Public First survey commissioned by Uber.
“As you experience your city’s nightlife, it’s important to make safe choices and not drive under the influence. Make a plan—reach out to a friend, arrange a designated driver, stay overnight, use the Uber app, or take public transit to ensure a safe journey home,” said MADD Chief Operating Officer Dawn Regan.
Uber Canada Head of Public Policy and Communications, Laura Miller, added, “As Canadians enjoy their city’s vibrant nightlife ahead of Halloween weekend, it’s important to remember that just because you drove to an event doesn’t mean you’re fit to drive home. Whether you’re heading home or to a second location, Uber and MADD Canada support all safe ride options.”
