As the southern gateway to the UNESCO Southwest Nova Biosphere, we enjoy an exceptional quality of life. Enviable access to health care, a strong academic research and development community and a thriving and diverse arts and culture scene makes Queens a fantastic place to live for people of all ages. With Council continually investing in the future of the community, the Municipality works hard to
achieve its vision of a place where "communities respect the natural environment, possess strong character, enjoy access to a variety of recreational opportunities and continue to develop an economy that builds on the assets of the Region as a whole." Municipal Planning Strategy, 2009
