Environment Canada says: Determining which place is the weather winner depends on how the category is defined. For example, which city can lay claim to being the sunniest place in Canada? Is that the sunniest day, month, summer or year on average? For this study, the sunniest city was defined as the community with the greatest number of hours with bright sunshine year-round. Since this weather element generates a great deal of interest, a total of nine categories were created for "the sunniest", including seasonal information (such as "the sunniest winter") and tallies both by number of hours of sunshine, and number of days with sunshine. Many of the definitions, such as hot days (30° C or higher), or cold days .

From another site:
Hottest summer - Kamloops BC, 26.90 C
Coldest winter - Yellowknife NT, -28.90 C
Most freezing days - Thompson MB, 240 days (!)
Fewest freezing days - Vancouver BC, 46 days (God bless the wet coast)
Sunniest year-round - Medicine Hat AB, 2512.90 hours
Least sunshine year-round - Prince Rupert BC, 1229.10 hours
Most sunny days year-round - Calgary AB, 333 days
Fewest sunny days year-round - Prince Rupert BC, 250 days
