Midway between Belleville and Brighton, about an hour east of Toronto, stands the City of Quinte West (Trenton) (pop. 43,086), the heart of Bay of Quinte.
Quinte West (Trenton) is the southern entrance to the Trent-Severn Waterway, a 380-kilometre system of lakes, rivers and lift locks that connects Bay of Quinte with Georgian Bay. It is home to nine golf courses and world-class walleye fishing, and it is adjacent to fine agricultural land. But its exciting downtown core brims with shopping and retail opportunities.
Quinte West (Trenton) was formed in 1998 when the City of Trenton joined the Village of Frankford, Sidney Township and Murray Township. Home to Canada's largest military air wing, 8 Wing, at Canadian Forces Base Trenton, its employers include Nestlés and Saputo Foods Ltd., among other companies.
Whether you have work or play in mind, Quinte West (Trenton) rewards a visit.
