Located approximately 50 km from Toronto on the shore of Lake Ontario, Oshawa is served by a provincial multilane highway, municipal airport, a deep-water port, trains, buses, and two national railways.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Robert McLaughlin began manufacturing vehicles resulting in Oshawa becoming the most highly developed automotive industry in Ontario.

General Motors later purchased this industrial icon which became the backbone of the local economy. The Canadian Automotive Museum harbours a unique display of over 60 antique cars. The Robert McLaughlin Art Gallery sponsors changing exhibitions and is home to a comprehensive contemporary collection of works by Painters Eleven and the Thomas Bouckley collection of local photographs.

TreeTop Eco-Adventure Park is Durham Region's newest attraction. Zip lines and other aerial activities carry adventurers through the ancient forest of Trillium Trails on the beautiful Oakridges Moraine in Oshawa.

Catering to more than 12 million people within a day's drive of metropolitan Toronto, Oshawa's location provides convenient access to the recreational opportunities afforded by Lake Ontario and the Kawartha and Haliburton tourist areas.

Oshawa accommodations encompass chain hotels, privately owned and operated motels, and bed and breakfasts.
