Keswick is a community in the south central portion of the Canadian province of Ontario. Located north of Toronto on Cook's Bay (part of Lake Simcoe), Keswick is part of the Town of Georgina. Unlike Keswick in England, where the w is silent, it is locally pronounced as "Kez-wick".
Keswick was originally known as Medina and was part of the Township of North Gwillimbury before becoming part of the Township of Georgina. Included in Keswick is the Keswick Marsh, part of the Holland Marsh. [1]
The area was formerly considered part of "cottage country" for those who lived in Toronto up until the late 1980s, when major development further opened up access to Keswick, expanding its population.
The town has become a popular destination in Ontario for sunny days spent on the beach, boating, ice fishing, and snowmobiling. Keswick also houses the Georgina Ice Palace where the Georgina Blaze hockey team, Georgina Girls Hockey Association and Georgina Skating Club resides for public access. The Stephen Leacock Theatre also is a place to watch and perform in performances varying from musicals and plays to orchestras and band performances.
The town boasts a number of shopping areas and attractions along the lake-shore and nearby agricultural areas.
and is located in the Uptown Keswick Business district.
Keswick's population is approximately 18,000.
