Welcome to Hastings, Ontario, Canada - (Trent-Severn Waterway - Lock 18)

Описание: Hastings is a community within the municipality of Trent Hills, Northumberland County, in the province of Ontario, Canada. It is situated on the Trent-Severn Waterway and the Trans Canada Trail in what is considered to be Ontario's "cottage country". It can be reached from Highway 401 by exiting at exit 474 at Cobourg and going north on County Road 45. It can be reached from Highway 7 at the Norwood exit going south (also on County Road 45).

Hastings had a population of 1,208 at the 2001 Census.[1] It is known as "The Hub of the Trent" as Hastings is directly on the Trent River and serves as a major center for tourists, boaters, and fishermen. One of Hastings' notable symbols is a tall, blue water tower which is perched prominently on high ground in the northern portion of the community.

Hastings is now part of the municipality of Trent Hills and makes up the second most substantial population center in the municipality. The position of mayor of Trent Hills was filled in November 2017 by Hastings councilor and deputy mayor Robert Crate,[2] following the death of Hector Macmillan who had served as mayor since 2003.[3] Replacing Bob Crate as Ward 3 Hastings councilor is businessman, Michael Metcalf.[4]

A marina was built in Hastings which added to the already bustling waterfront. In continuation of the street-scape design theme from the new Hastings Village Marina a Hastings Waterfront & Downtown Improvement Plan was prepared in early 2009. In 2009, after a four-year break, the local Chamber of Commerce was revived.[5]

The largest annual event in Hastings, the Canada Day celebrations, includes amongst other events a parade that runs through downtown during the day and a fireworks display at the waterfront at dusk. In recent years the fireworks display has attracted an increasing number of spectators and despite Hastings being a relatively small community the display has been considered one of the best in Ontario.

In 2012 Hastings was named Canada's Ultimate Fishing Town by the World Fishing Network.[6] Muskie, pickerel, pike, walleye, large and smallmouth bass, catfish, perch, crappie, and bluegill are found in Hastings in abundance.
