Pembroke
In 2021, Macleans magazine ranked Pembroke as the best place to live in the Ottawa Valley. A vibrant city of 14,000 people just over an hour outside the nation’s capital, it’s home to a warm community with malls, big box stores, hardware stores, shops, restaurants, and cinemas, as well as Pembroke Regional Hospital and Algonquin College.
Pembroke is also a haven for outdoors people. There are golf courses on the Ottawa River, which also happens to host some of the best white water rafting in the country. On quieter parts of the water there’s boating, canoeing, kayaking and other more relaxing varieties of water sport. Plus, many of Ontario and Quebec’s provincial parks are nearby, including Algonquin Provincial Park less than an hour away.
The City of Pembroke is the largest Retail & Commercial Service Center between Ottawa and North Bay serving a central market population of over 73,000 within a 40km radius with Malls, Major Big Box Superstores and Smartcentres.
