City of Cornwall

Cornwall is a bustling city located on the banks of the St. Lawrence River, just a short hour’s drive from Ottawa and Montreal. The City’s strategic location on Highway 401 has made it an ideal spot for logistics and manufacturing activities. One of Canada’s oldest cities, Cornwall is changing with over a quarter of billion dollars in new investment over the past several years. House prices remain about half of major Canadian urban areas, schooling is available in French and English and the Cornwall Community Hospital and St. Lawrence College are expanding. These factors, along with some great recreational amenities, make Cornwall an ideal place to raise a family.
