Cobourg has long been described as the Gem of Lake Ontario and it’s not difficult to see why. Cradled by the waves of lake Ontario, you don’t have to be one of the privileged residents to enjoy its numerous features: outstanding waterfront, marina, waterfront trails, golf course, main street shopping, tree lined streets, historic homes, majestic Victoria Hall and for year round enjoyment, an outdoor ice skating rink turned fountain during the summer months. Waves of visitors escape the big city to come enjoy our signature festivals and events.
The Town of Cobourg offers a superb business environment. Our location, just 60 miles (100 kms) east of Toronto, offers excellent transportation access including highway 401, mainline CN and CP rail as a well as commuter and regular VIA rail passenger service.
The availability of skilled labour has allowed us to maintain a diversified and stable industrial base producing food, plastics, fabricated metals, and wire and cables to name a few.
Affordable housing, quality educational opportunities and a host of recreational and cultural amenities which includes a recently built multi functional community centre, combined with the exceptional business advantages, make Cobourg truly the ideal community in which to live and do business.
