Leamington "Building on the Past – Preparing for the Future"
The municipality of Leamington has been described as "a place where breathtaking sunsets, secluded beaches, after supper sails and friendly faces are a way of life".
Located along the north shore of Lake Erie in sunny southern Ontario, Leamington is in close affinity with Point Pelee National Park. The area attracts an impressive migration of birds and butterflies drawing the attention of naturalists from around the world. The countryside is home to some of North American's most popular birding locations including Point Pelee National Park, Hillman Marsh, Kopegaron Woods and near-by Pelee Island. As the northern border of the Carolinian forest, the area supports over 700 plant species, some of which can not be found in any other part of Canada.
Its position on the north shore of Lake Erie also makes it an important recreational center. Leamington has a large and modern marina not far from several excellent restaurants and hotels/motels.
Leamington is known as the "Tomato Capital of Canada", withfertile soils that support a variety of agricultural crops for fresh markets and processing. Leamington is also home to the largest concentration of greenhouses in North America. Cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers and flowers make up the majority of the greenhouse crops with well over 1,000 acres "under cover".
Leamington gives all its visitors the red carpet treatment. Whether visiting our parks, staying at the marina, exploring the surrounding countryside or just visiting friends and family, your time in Leamington will be well spent.
