What This Corner of Eastern Ontario Brings Together
From urban, bilingual life in Hawkesbury to the farmland of East Hawkesbury and Alfred-Plantagenet, every community in this area has its own character. Here's what sets each one apart.
Hawkesbury
An industrial history tied to the Ottawa River and a largely francophone population.
East Hawkesbury
A rural township surrounding Hawkesbury, with farmland and properties that offer more space than in town.
Alfred-Plantagenet
An agricultural area along the Ottawa River, made up of the communities of Alfred, Plantagenet and Wendover.
Vankleek Hill
A small town known for its well-preserved heritage core, with 19th-century buildings and a village feel that draws both visitors and new residents.
L'Orignal
The historic seat of Prescott-Russell County, home to the oldest courthouse still in operation in Ontario. A riverside village with strong heritage character.
A Border Position Between Ontario and Quebec
The proximity to Quebec is felt daily: most residents are bilingual, and French holds as much of a presence here as in the Outaouais.
That reality reaches across the whole area, from Alfred-Plantagenet to Vankleek Hill and L'Orignal. It's a position hard to find elsewhere in Ontario, especially for those with ties across the river.
