Site Selection magazine has included Oshawa in its list of Canada’s Best Locations for 2026, according to the City.
How the recognition is described
The City says the publication evaluates communities using 2025–26 information from the Conway Projects Database, including qualifying corporate-facility projects, capital investment and job creation.
Oshawa’s announcement points to advanced manufacturing, automotive technology, aerospace, clean technology, health sciences, defence-related industries and logistics as areas of economic activity. It also cites access to Highway 401 and Highway 407 East, the port and airport, post-secondary institutions and research assets.
The recognition is an external economic-development designation, not a ranking by DurhamPoliticians.com. The City’s release did not provide a numeric score or Oshawa’s position within the selected group.
