Greetings from Mayor Rick Goldring On behalf of City Council, welcome to the City of Burlington! Voted the best mid-sized city in Canada to live in…Burlington just keeps getting better! With our location between Lake Ontario and the beautiful Niagara Escarpment, Burlington has a tremendous natural environment. Our residents have the opportunity to live an urban, suburban or rural lifestyle and we invite you to sample each.

Close to our downtown core, we offer a lively and accessible waterfront at Spencer Smith Park with the new Brant Street Pier, Discovery Landing, the Burlington Rotary Centennial Pond and the Dofasco Waterjet Park. This waterfront park hosts many unique festivals throughout the year: Sound of Music Festival on Father’s Day weekend; on July 1 bring your national pride and explore the Canadian inspired activities and musical entertainment; a new Beer Festival this July; your family will thoroughly enjoy our award-winning Children’s Festival; and Canada’s Largest Ribfest on Labour Day weekend.

Close to our waterfront are two cultural destinations: the Burlington Art Centre (the seventh largest public art gallery in Ontario) and the Burlington Performing Arts Centre, where we host world-class performances, local music and theatre groups, as well as receptions, exhibitions and large events. Both are within walking distance to superb dining and shopping downtown.

History buffs will enjoy historic LaSalle Park, Ireland House and the Joseph Brant Museum where our pioneer and aboriginal heritage have been preserved.

Burlington is also home to the Royal Canadian Naval Ships Memorial Monument in Spencer Smith Park, honouring the memory of the Canadian Ships and Sailors.

Beyond the downtown core is the Bruce Trail within the Niagara Escarpment UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, the world renowned Royal Botanical Gardens and the Cootes to Escarpment EcoPark System.

The Tourism Burlington Visitor’s Centre is located at 414 Locust Street. They can connect you to all the exciting experiences our city offers. Please drop by in person or visit their website at www.tourismburlington.com.

Enjoy your time in Burlington.

See and Do

Royal Botanical Gardens

by Tourism Burlington

Nestled between the escarpment and the shores of Lake Ontario in the heart of Ontario’s Golden Horseshoe, Burlington is close to the urban buzz of Toronto, yet surrounded by the tranquil beauty of parks and gardens. Our city offers visitors a full spectrum of activities, from scaling the heights of the Niagara escarpment to catching trophy sized salmon in a great lake. There’s culture, history, festivals and fun all year round in this safe and friendly community.

For Naturalists & Adventurers Paradise found! Enjoy a walk along the Waterfront Trail and Brant Street Pier, have a picnic or just relax and enjoy the view. You will see all kinds of boating activity, from lake freighters and sailboats to kayaks and wind surfers. There are thousands of acres of parks and conservation areas offering year round adventures. Bird watching is a rewarding experience here, with trumpeter swans, bald eagles, pelicans, great horned owls and several endangered birds making their homes in the parks and along the water’s edge. For a naturally occurring oddity, visit one of the only magnetic hills in Canada, on a rural section of King Rd. At Bronte Creek Provincial Park, children can enjoy the play barn as well as watch the farm animals up close. There’s a historically preserved farmhouse where you can experience life as it would have been live in the late 1800’s. Swimming, hiking or learning about wildlife are all activities that visitors can enjoy.

A World Famous Royal Garden: Named one of the top ten gardens in the world, the Royal Botanical Gardens is Canada’s only royal and its largest botanical garden. Visitors come from around the world to see the spectacular collection of lilacs, the world’s largest, the magnificent rose gardens and the masses of tulips, peonies and irises in the spring. In summer months, there is an international sculpture show in the gardens along with special events, plant sales, nature walks, gardening and painting workshops. In the winter the popular Holiday Traditions exhibit with its unique model trains is a must do seasonal activity for families. The shop in the garden’s centre is a great place to find special one-of-a-kind gifts.

Adventure at Our Doorstep: Kelso/Glen Eden, Mountsberg, Crawford Lake, Hilton Falls,

Rattlesnake Point, Robert Edmonstone and Mount Nemo Conservation areas offer adventure experiences, such as hiking, rock-climbing, swimming, skiing and fishing, and each reflects a distinct character through its special attractions. Visit an authentically reconstructed native village at Crawford Lake, or sleep under the stars at Kelso. Do an Owl Prowl or Wolf Howl, learn about raptors and birds of prey or just enjoy the quiet serenity of rural Halton. For a truly unique adventure, head to the Niagara Escarpment, a UNESCO-designated World Biosphere Reserve, to hike the pathways created hundreds of years ago along the Iroquoia portion of the Bruce Trail.

See & Do On Board with Nature

by Jenny Collins

Play in Our Parks:

Enjoy the Downtown Waterfront where the Rotary Centennial Pond serves as a reflecting pool and miniature sailboat space in summer and a skating rink in winter. The Dofasco Waterjet Park is the ideal place for children to play on hot summer days, and the elegant Spencer’s at the Waterfront provides fine dining with a spectacular view of the pier. Visit Paletta Lakefront Park to experience a 14-acre heritage estate on the lake. At LaSalle Park, you can feed the ducks and trumpeter swans and watch freighters come into the bay. There are excellent picnicking opportunities at LaSalle, Hidden Valley or Lowville Parks and many offer hiking trails, fishing, playgrounds, and winter activities. For a more contemplative experience, walk the Central Park Labyrinth, one of the first Canadian labyrinths in a public space that is wheelchair accessible.

Walk the Pier The Brant Street Pier is a signature destination in Spencer Smith Park that extends 137 metres over Lake Ontario providing breathtaking views of the lake and Burlington’s shoreline.

The pier has a distinctive S-shape, colourful lighting, and unique lookout above the deck that provides a great vantage point to watch water sports, sunrises and take in the festivals held in the park.

For Arts and Culture Enthusiasts A visit to the Burlington Art Centre will introduce you to local, national and international artists and to the world’s largest collection of contemporary Canadian ceramics. There are frequent exhibits and exceptional finds in the Art Etc. shop where you can buy juried art created by well known artists. Spend some time in the indoor conservatory, or enjoy a snack at the Café.

If a play is the thing for you, Burlington’s talented local theatrical groups are on-stage with productions throughout the year. The Burlington Performing Arts Centre brings big name shows to the city plus showcases community activities. Check out the performance calendar at burlingtonpac.ca for details.

In the summer, the city comes alive hosting several major outdoor festivals. During the Sound of Music, streets are closed to traffic and every corner becomes a venue for bands. There is also “Concerts in the Park” to enjoy throughout the summer, featuring local musicians at beautiful outdoor parks and at the Royal Botanical Gardens.

For something completely different, visit the Crossroads Centre, where cutting-edge broadcast technology mixes with spiritual outreach. This state-of-the-art facility boasts one of the finest television production centres in the world, a beautiful chapel and is the production headquarters for 100 Huntley Street, Canada’s longest running television show.

Watch History Come Alive One of the earliest areas of Ontario to be settled, Burlington has a vibrant history and preserves it in both its museums and historic streets. Joseph Brant Museum, is a replica of the home of one of Canada’s most colourful heroes. Captain Joseph Brant was an aboriginal leader and United Empire Loyalist who helped the British fight in the American Revolutionary War. He built his home on land he was granted by King George III, just a few hundred yards south-west of the present day museum. The museum has exhibit space and houses more than 10,000 artifacts.

Stroll the historic streets of downtown Burlington to discover some of its first homes, and churches dating back to the late 1800s. A Walking Tour of Burlington Downtown brochure is available from the Visitor Information Centre or on our website. The Burlington Historical Society has published a number of interesting books on the area which are available for purchase at our Centre.

Travel through three distinct time periods with a visit to Ireland House at Oakridge Farm, (circa 1835-1837), a living history museum and woodland, gardens, a potting shed, cottage/drive shed, and picnic areas. Tours of the property, living historical demonstrations, special events and educational programs are offered.

North of the city you can find the Halton Region Museum, with its fascinating display of artifacts that tell the story of the early days of Halton. Antique quilts, shadow boxes, old implements and authentic clothing bring history to real life. Be sure to plan a visit to the Streetcar & Electric Railway Museum where you can take a ride and explore the 1912 Grand Trunk railway station.
