Quinte West....A Natural Attraction

The City of Quinte West is situated on the shores of the beautiful Bay of Quinte, serving as the gateway to the world famous Trent Severn Waterway. We are located approximately 1.5 hours east of Toronto along the Highway 401 corridor and 2.5 hours west of Ottawa. Over 42,000 people make Quinte West their home enjoying both the urban and rural landscapes that encompass the area.

Quinte West, formed through the amalgamation of the former municipalities of Trenton, Sidney, Murray and Frankford, offers its residents and visitors a unique and dynamic mix of rural and urban lifestyles. The exquisite natural features of our City are complemented by a strong, vibrant and diverse economic base while also serving as home to Canada’s largest military base, 8 Wing Trenton.

We offer low operating costs achieved through a combination of low municipal utility rates, municipal tax rates and land and building costs. This allows the development of new facilities to be affordable and feasible in order to meet your company’s needs and requirements.

Quinte West offers a strong combination of lifestyle and business amenities that make it a great place to live and a great place to do business.

“Quinte West offers many opportunities for business and development with a diverse economic base and a trained labour force. We are situated in an ideal location, in a picturesque setting, and are proud to be the home of 8 Wing CFB Trenton. Our City offers a unique blend of urban and rural landscapes making it a great place to live and raise a family.”

- Mayor John Williams, City of Quinte West
