“A City for People, a Landscape for Ideas.”

History on the waterfront, cutting-edge culture, leading research and hot new start-ups: Kingston, Ontario, is a place where history and innovation thrive.  From our waterfront Martello Tours to our period renovations, the mixture of art and business is a landscape for breakthrough ideas and healthy lifestyles.

Kingston has consistently been ranked an outstanding Canadian city.  As one of the top three most sustainable cities, six best places to live and boasting one of the best three downtowns and five cities to golf in, Kingston´s charms are setting national standards.

Kingston has gained international recognition with UNESCO´s newest World Heritage Site designation of the Rideau Canal, Fort Henry National Historic Site and Kingston fortifications and our region is also recognized as part of the World Network of Biosphere Reserves with the Frontenac Arch Biosphere.
