Richmond Hill, ON at a Glance
Located north of Toronto, the city of Richmond Hill was a rose-growing centre
in the early 1900s and was known as the country's Rose Capital. Today, the quiet
and relaxed suburb offers a variety of events and attractions for visitors.
The city has numerous recreation facilities and parks including Mill Pond Park,
which hosts Concerts in the Park each Thursday in the summer, and Richmond Green
Sports Centre and Park where the country's birthday is celebrated with a huge
fireworks display during the Canada Day Celebrations. Those who want to learn
