The City of Burlington is home to more than 207,000 residents. The south end of Burlington is situated on the picturesque shores of Lake Ontario overlooking Burlington Bay, while the majestic Niagara Escarpment provides the backdrop for the mostly rural north part of Burlington. Burlington is strategically located right in the middle of the “Golden Horseshoe”, which encompasses the prosperous, urbanized area, between Oshawa and St. Catherines.
