Brockville’s historic background remains reflected in the many well preserved homes erected by its early citizens. The first residents were United Empire Loyalists who arrived here in 1784. Free land grants enabled the settlers to gain a foothold in the wilderness. In contrast Downtown Brockville today is a vibrant neighbourhood, mixed with world class culture and full of entertainment offerings 12 months of the year. There is a festival for every vibe, an event for every taste, and attractions, yes, we have a few!

The BROCKVILLE RAILWAY TUNNEL is one of the most beautiful experiences anywhere. The lights play in constant changing sequences to the music.
