Quinte West is a city in eastern Ontario located along the Bay of Quinte on Lake Ontario. The municipality was created through the amalgamation of several communities including Trenton, Frankford and Sidney Township, forming a larger regional city.
The city’s economy is influenced by both military and transportation activities. Canadian Forces Base Trenton, located within Quinte West, is one of the largest air force bases in Canada and plays an important role in national defence and military logistics.
Quinte West also benefits from its scenic waterfront location along the Bay of Quinte, where parks, marinas and recreational areas attract visitors interested in boating and fishing. Today the city functions as a regional centre combining military, transportation and tourism industries.
