South West

The South West is known for health care excellence. There are major hospitals, teaching institutions and state-of-the-art facilities for research and innovation. With a diverse economy and a strong, historic agricultural base, the region is a blend of urban and rural landscapes with easy access to major urban centres in Canada and the United States. Quality education, culture and diverse employment opportunities contribute to an excellent standard of living in one of Canada's most prosperous areas.

The South West extends from Long Point in the pastoral south to Tobermory at the rugged northern tip of the Bruce Peninsula. Home to approximately 950,000 people over a span of nearly 22,000 square kilometres, this area includes the city of London, and the counties of Bruce, Huron, Oxford, Middlesex, Elgin and parts of Grey and Norfolk.
