About us

The Municipality of North Grenville, comprised of Kemptville and six heritage hamlets, enjoys using its location as one of its defining characteristics. Located at the intersection of Highway 416 and County Road 43, Kemptville offers rapid access to the Nation’s Capital and the US market.

One of Eastern Ontario's fastest growing Municipalities, North Grenville boasts the titles of Ontario's Most Active Community 2022, Canada's Most Active Community 2021, and is one of the smallest communities globally to obtain WCCD’s ISO 37120 certification, revealing that we stand out for our extremely educated workforce, outstanding air quality and generous access to green space - second only to Reykjavik, Iceland in outdoor space per capita. While there is an abundance of spaces, places and four season destinations for both locals and tourists to explore - from the historical hamlets, hiking trails, golf courses and waters, to quaint eateries, markets, vineyards and old town charm, North Grenville is also home to modern retail amenities, schools, and housing developments, making it the ultimate location to explore, play, and stay.

  • Small and mid-sized municipalities like North Grenville (not just big cities) are willing to step up to build affordable housing.

    Small & mid-sized municipalities like mine (not just big cities) are willing to step up to build affordable housing. Under a new govt, we don’t want to lose access to crucial financing through CMHC - which currently has countless funding applications in the queue — applications that, if approved now, could build tens of thousands of affordable units almost immediately. My community is one of them. After extensive consultation and planning, the Municipality of North Grenville proposed repurposing an inactive 200-bed college dormitory (Bell Hal) in Kemptville into 60 affordable rental units for seniors and veterans. Yet our application, prior to an election call, was in limbo for months, despite a stated commitment to a 30-day review. We were told that there aren’t enough underwriters to process applications, so we must simply wait. How long? No one can say. And with a federal election, the risk now increases that well-developed, shovel-ready projects could be stalled for a long time, if not indefinitely. Other municipalities are in the same boat. Hundreds of millions of dollars in community-driven affordable housing initiatives hang in the balance. These projects represent not just housing solutions but critical economic stimulus at a time when uncertainty looms.
