Kingston’s vision of being a smart, livable, 21st century city is fast becoming a reality. 

History and innovation thrive in our dynamic city located along the beautiful shores of Lake Ontario, an easy drive from Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal, in the heart of eastern Ontario. With a stable and diversified economy that includes global corporations, innovative startups, and all levels of government, Kingston’s high quality-of-life offers access to world-class education and research institutions, advanced healthcare facilities, affordable living, and vibrant entertainment and tourism activities. 

 Kingston is home to:  

  • Queen’s University, the Royal Military College of Canada, and St. Lawrence College (we have the most PhD graduates per capita and the “smartest” workforce in Canada).
  • Fort Henry and the Kingston Fortifications (part of the Rideau Canal UNESCO World Heritage site).
  • Vibrant arts, entertainment, recreation, and leisure communities.
  • Festivals! Events! Attractions!  See the Tourism Kingston website to find out more.
