Nestled where the St. Lawrence River, Rideau Canal, and Lake Ontario meet, Kingston is one of Canada’s oldest cities. A natural meeting point between Toronto and Montreal, the city and surrounding region offer historic landmarks and heritage architecture. Kingston boasts properties from the imposing Kingston Penitentiary, Canada’s oldest maximum-security prison – built in 1834 and decommissioned in 2013 – to 21st-century high-rises; from Victorian lakeside mansions to time-worn motels and diners. In Kingston, filmmakers can travel through the decades – and the centuries – to find the perfect location.
We’re pleased to offer location tours, financial incentives, and local talent and resource coordination for productions.
From the 19th century to the 21st, Kingston features a variety of settings to suit a wide range of projects.
