Favourable economic conditions and a safe, healthy environment makes for the highest quality of life. North Bay is a caring community of energetic, high-spirited people. Festivals, parades and a wide range of special occasion activities blend with the natural attractions of the area. The combination of lush forests, spring-fed water and clean air creates a healthy environment for working, living and raising a family. Safe, friendly, well-planned neighbourhoods also make coming home a pleasure in North Bay. Situated between Lake Nipissing and Trout Lake, the City offers lakefront property in both urban and rural settings. The short distance between home and work allows more time to enjoy the wealth of parkland and leisure facilities. Housing is affordable and the selection is impressive. Residential taxes are among the lowest in the province. Country settings are available within minutes of the downtown core and provide an array of attractive living alternatives. North Bay's business resources and support services are readily available to meet the demands of today and the needs of tomorrow. Educational opportunities, from technical training to professional programs, are served by a wide range of diploma courses at Canadore College and Degree programs at Nipissing University.
