Imagine a place where plants and exotic species thrive; where the land is so rich it produces the most diverse range of crops in Canada; where naturalists flock to witness the migration of birds and butterflies; where retirement living is at its finest; where breath taking sunsets, secluded beaches, after supper sails and friendly faces are a way of life. Imagine life in Leamington!

Leamington is a thriving, diverse jewel of a community located along the north shore of Lake Erie.   The town's location, which is parallel to northern California, has given it the best climate in Canada with long summers and moderate winters. 

It's been said that if it can't be grown in

Leamington it can't be grown in Canada.  You can find everything from apples to zucchini during our long growing season. But field and orchard crops are just part of the picture.  Known as the "greenhouse capital of Canada", Leamington area greenhouse growers produce tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers virtually year round. 

Leamington is also a naturalists' paradise, where rare species abound.  The area attracts an impressive migration of birds and butterflies that draw the attention of enthusiasts from around the world.  Leamington is home to some of North America's most popular birding locations including Point Pelee National Park, Hillman Marsh Conservation Area and Kopegaron Woods.  Pelee Island, a wonder in itself, is a short ferry ride away.  As the northern border of the Carolinian forest, this area hosts over 700 plant species, some of which cannot be found in any other part of Canada.

The Municipality's population of nearly 30,000 makes up a culturally rich community that cherishes its ethnic and rural roots.  Community amenities, such as an expanded  hospital, superb recreational facilities, a spectacular water front and marina, fabulous shopping in our quaint uptown, affordable housing and a full range of commercial and retail services makes Leamington an attractive choice for a comfortable retirement. Our strategic location, just a short 45 minutes from Windsor enables access to a broad range of regional services as well. With all Leamington has to offer it's no wonder we were named the "best place to live in Canada", by MoneySense Magazine in 2006.
