Oshawa
ATTRACTING BUSINESS
tors, post-secondary students, businesses, in-
vestors, and entrepreneurs.
When it comes to attracting business, the
City of Oshawa has a lot going for it. It’s a
growing community of 160,000, the largest city
in the Durham Region, and is located only 60
kilometres from Toronto’s downtown core – so
companies have quick and convenient access
to the largest consumer market in Canada and
fourth largest region in North America.
That convenience is amplified by the many
transportation options available in the region.
Due to the Port of Oshawa, for example, the
city is also available to access by any ship
that can navigate the Great Lakes. From the
Oshawa Executive Airport, business even has
access to the United States. On top of that,
the Mayor has been working closely with the
province of Ontario to introduce GO Transit to
central Oshawa.
The city’s strength in education also means
that locating a business in Oshawa gives a
company access to a top performing work-
force, including graduates from Oshawa’s
three world-class universities and community
college.
