About Southwestern Ontario

Kingsville, Ontario is located along the north shore of Lake Erie. It is a community in the Essex County region. As the most southern town in Canada, Kingsville has a unique location and enjoys the warmest climate of any city in Ontario. In fact, our region is located at the same latitude as northern California.  Known for our favourable climate and productive soils, Kingsville was referred to as “Canada’s most Southern Village and SunParlour of Ontario.” This area is home to 3,000 acres of greenhouse production, including Great Northern Hydroponics.
