Quality of Life

If you are looking for safe neighbourhoods, tree-lined streets, a focus on family, enough space to call your own, and a relaxed pace, then Grimsby is the town for you.

New residents can choose between urban or rural settings, by the lake or escarpment locations, modern or heritage homes, or between townhomes and apartments. Seniors will be pleased to find a diverse range of adult condominiums, retirement homes and nursing homes specifically suited to their needs.

There are numerous religious facilities representing a cross-section of denominations, including United, Anglican, Roman Catholic, Ukrainian Orthodox and Baptist.

Grimsby offers a diverse mix of year-round activities that celebrate our wealth of art, culture and history. The Grimsby Art Gallery and Public Library are jointly housed in a state of the art facility, which offers ongoing exhibitions and a quiet place to read, reflect, relax and learn. The Grimsby Museum is conveniently located in the centre of town and showcases the town's extensive history. All facilities offer special programs throughout the year for everyone from preschoolers to seniors.
