Mayor, North Bay
Canada is a big place. Finding your new Canadian home just got easier.
As a newcomer, deciding where to settle has big implications for you and your family. You want a community that’s welcoming, supportive, and safe — a community that offers unlimited opportunities for housing, investment, employment, education, healthcare, and more.
North Bay, ON, is a short drive from Toronto on uncongested four-lane highways and is an oasis of natural beauty. It’s a true four-seasons location nestled between two amazing lakes, Trout Lake and Lake Nipissing.
“Our city has some of the nicest beaches in Ontario, an amazing system of trails, a downhill ski facility in the middle of town, lots of indoor and outdoor recreational facilities, an OHL hockey team, university and college teams to cheer for, a centre for the performing arts, and so much more,” says Al McDonald, Mayor of North Bay.
Surrounded by clean lakes, iconic Canadian forest, and clear blue sky, North Bay offers a beautiful and accessible outdoor lifestyle with all the comforts of larger urban centres.The average work-to-home commute is 10 minutes, leaving you more time for what really matters.
For me, North Bay has been a city of opportunity. You will do better here, on a personal level, than you will do in a bigger city.
