With a thriving arts scene and three first class post secondary institutions, this spectacular Lake Ontario city has become a dynamic multicultural community. New businesses, a premier sports and entertainment centre and a lovingly restored theatre have brought new vibrancy to the city’s core.

Oshawa’s rich history is seen at Parkwood Estate, once home to General Motors Canada founder Col. Sam McLaughlin. It is now a national historic site that welcomes visitors year-round. The McLaughlin family also founded The Robert McLaughlin Gallery, an outstanding art gallery that exhibits many Canadian masterpieces.

Efforts to restore and preserve the Lake Ontario shoreline have created accessible trails where nature lovers watch for migrating birds and butterflies. Hosting over 40 major events each year, Oshawa offers a diverse range of creative experiences for visitors and residents alike.
