Here's what else makes Kingston a great place to live and work:

  • A comfortable size (147,000 residents)
  • Most walkable/cyclable city in Ontario
  • Location on the shores of beautiful Lake Ontario, by the scenic Thousand Islands, the St. Lawrence River, and Rideau Canal/Fort Henry World Heritage Site
  • A historic downtown with diverse and eclectic cultural offerings, entertainment attractions year-round, along with independent merchants offering interesting shopping, and a great variety of dining choices
  • Exceptional outdoor recreational experiences within minutes of the Queen's campus
  • Affordable housing choices in attractive neighbourhoods
  • The advantages of much larger cities with the lifestyle of a small city where the neighbourhoods are safe and inviting,
  • 15 minutes is considered a long commute...

See Kingston's historic downtown via a webcam pointed at the market square featuring a skating rink in winter, and Canada's oldest Farmer's Market in the warm season.
