About Brockville: Living Here
Brockville, City of the 1000 Islands, offers a lifestyle that is unrivaled in Eastern Ontario.
We are located on the banks of the majestic St. Lawrence River at the eastern edge of the world famous 1000 Islands. Nearly all of our waterfront is accessible to the public through a series of waterfront parks and river access points connected by a trail system. When you add that to the fact that we are the only municipality that owns islands in the 1000 Islands, you will find that our waterfront sets us apart from our neighbouring communities.
Never more than a 10 minute drive to the waterfront and historic downtown, our small city offers extremely short commutes and opportunities to get out on the river and into the outdoors around every turn.
Brockville has big city amenities that allows us to punch above our weight class, including Brockville General Hospital, indoor and outdoor arenas and sports fields, a 700+ seat theatre, museums and galleries, and elementary and high school choices for public, private, catholic, and French catholic education.
Brockville’s vibrant downtown boasts specialty stores, charming restaurants, and a historic farmers’ market. Head uptown and you’ll find a modern residential and commercial centre. Located within commuting distance to Ottawa and Kingston, Brockville offers small town charm with big city advantages.
