About Richmond Hill
Richmond Hill is a large and growing city that began as an offshoot of Toronto’s suburban population. It has a population of over 185,000 and is continually adding to its municipal services to keep pace with growth.
For example, five elementary schools serving various regions are in the planning stages. Despite being mostly a “bedroom community” for Toronto, Richmond Hill has a rich history and distinct personality all of its own.
A large amount of recreational opportunities and flourishing downtown, business and industrial districts make it a viable economic force in the greater Toronto area.
Living in Richmond Hill
Employment in Richmond Hill is split between local businesses and Toronto commuters. Mackenzie Richmond Hill Hospital is the largest employer in the area, followed by Apotex and Bulk Barn Foods. A huge number of small, local businesses also offer a diverse source of employment.
