11 Best Places to Retire in Canada (2017)

10) Kingston, Ontario

Located where Lake Ontario meets the Saint Lawrence River, Kingston capitalizes on its excellent location with a developed water front. Residents and visitors enjoy Kingston from the water with leisurely dinner cruises, sightseeing tours, or the 1,000 Islands boat tour. The Lemoine Point Conservation Area is another way to enjoy nature with leisurely strolls through the forest. Foodies also rejoice; Kingston is more densely packed with restaurants per capita than most other cities in Canada. Kingston’s major employer is the healthcare industry with more doctors per 1,000 people than most Canadian cities. This could be the reason for the higher than average number of retirees living in the city of roughly 132,000. Reasonable housing prices, low property taxes, and a high quality of life makes this a great choice for retirees.
