Best Physics Graduate Schools in Canada

In summary: I'm the physics undergrad society president, so I know a fair bit about the department... and the upcoming changes to it's structure).In summary, The University of British Columbia and the University of Manitoba are both strong options for graduate studies in Physics in Canada, with UBC having the advantage of the TRIUMF national physics lab on campus. Other recommended schools include the University of Alberta, the University of Western Ontario, and the University of Victoria, each with strengths in different areas of physics such as geophysics, medical physics, and astrophysics. It is important to research and consider the specific areas of study and faculty at each school in order to make an

For AMO physics, York University is widely regarded among the top universities in Canada. There is also a great condensed matter physics lab here.

Just thought I'd put a plug in for York.

Yup, the Athabasca oil sands ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athabasca_oil_sands ) are in Alberta, and much industry support is given to the UofA in this area. This mainly applies to engineering.
