The Quinte region has been identified as one of the best areas in
Canada in which to live.
Belleville
is known as the 'Friendly City'.
Belleville's
climate has four distinctive seasons, a great attribute to those who love outdoor activities. The summer season is
very pleasant with comfortable temperatures and modest rainfall. Belleville is easy to access by Hwy 401, located
approximately an hour and a half east of Toronto or 40 minutes west of Kingston.
Belleville is
at the centre of the Quinte area. Shopping, dining experiences, theatre, fishing, wind surfing and visits to old
friends, all bring people to Belleville. Whatever the reason, they always take home some memories and make plans to
return on another day. The famous Waterfront Festival gives people an excuse to visit Belleville in July, when the
usually tranquil Bay of Quinte shoreline comes alive with music, water-ski shows, hundreds of boats and ethnic delights
from food to dance. Sports, such as world class auto and motorcycle racing at Shannonville Motorsport Park, and
Ontario Major Junior A Hockey at the Quinte
Sports Centre, bring thousands of visitors to Belleville annually.
