Cornwall and Belleville have cracked the top 10 in a list of Best Communities to live in Canada compiled by Maclean’s magazine.

The magazine has ranked Cornwall as #8 and Belleville as #4 on its 2021 list which reviewed 415 communities from coast to coast.

The question of where to live when you can work from anywhere was the focus of this year’s list, which Maclean’s is calling its “post-pandemic” version of their Best Communities ranking. Using data provided by Environics Analytics and the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA), as well as publicly available figures from a variety of sources, the magazine weighted a range of categories based on how important each would be to the average person and ranked each municipality accordingly.

Ottawa — The Ontario government is investing $2.5 million in Siemens Healthineers through the Ontario Together Fund. The investment will help increase production capacity of the epoc Blood Analysis System, a handheld device that can analyze oxygen levels in blood, helping clinicians make faster decisions with lab-quality results at the patient’s side. The project is expected to create 93 jobs over five years. To scale up their production capacity, Siemens Healthineers is investing over $20 million into their Ottawa facilities to increase their manufacturing output.

Innovative projects like this are why Ontario is investing an additional $50 million in the renewed Ontario Together Fund in 2021–22. The fund will continue supporting local businesses to further enhance Ontario’s domestic supply chain capacity, help us through the pandemic and ensure we are prepared for future challenges...

“The renewed Ontario Together Fund will continue to strengthen our domestic manufacturing sector, support local innovators and boost our world-class MedTech ecosystem,” said Vic Fedeli, Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade. “Companies like Siemens Healthineers and their epoc Blood Analysis System are a perfect example of projects that can transform our ability to respond to a crisis and enhance our resilience while strengthening our health care system.”
