LEAMINGTON OVERVIEW

POPULATION: 32,000 • Leamington is home to the largest concentration of greenhouses in North America. • Leamington is a popular area for birders, with large numbers of avian enthusiasts “flocking” to the area each May.

• In 2010, an F1 tornado ripped through the south part of town along the Lake Erie shoreline. • The Heinz factory operated in Leamington for 105 years, opening in 1909 and closing in 2014. You can still see the massive smoke stack near the corner of Oak St. and Erie St. The factory is now owned and operated by Highbury Canco.

• Leamington is called the “Tomato Capital of Canada”. In honour of this nickname, you will find a giant tomato in the middle of town at the intersection of Talbot St., Mill St. and Fox St. It was previously used as a tourist booth, however it has been closed in recent years as it is in need of repairs. • Award-winning scientist and environmentalist David Suzuki grew up in Leamington.
