Welcome to the Township of Faraday

Faraday Township is strategically located just two short hours from Toronto (to the south) and Ottawa (to the east). The Township is situated in the northern part of the County of Hastings and is bordered by the Town of Bancroft, Township of Wollaston and the newly formed municipalities of Highlands East and Hastings Highlands.

Faraday is blessed with its numerous water bodies and breathtaking natural landscape. In the Summer and Fall months, we enjoy a loyal influx of cottagers who for years have experienced the quiet beauty of our lakes, rivers and forests. Vacationers are abundant and return year after year to the tranquility of the area and the friendliness offered by our residents. In recent years, the Winter season has experienced a healthy snowmobiling and cross-country skiing economy. Let us not overlook the ever popular sport of ice fishing. Recreational life in Faraday is full and exciting.

Faraday boasts of its good and plentiful minerals, including beautiful marble deposits. Marble from our quarries has been used in some of our Country's finest buildings. Lumbering is also a viable and major business in our area.

The Township is well served by a fully equipped volunteer Fire Department, Quinte Healthcare Corporation North Hastings - a fully staffed and equipped hospital located in Bancroft. Several dentists, dental therapists, chiropractors and many volunteer service agencies are available to serve you.

The people of Faraday Township extend a warm welcome to visitors. Whether you are coming back to visit friends and family or discovering the beauty and richness of Faraday Township for the first time, you will appreciate our warm hospitality and unique character.

Come and experience a different kind of lifestyle. Stay for a week or a lifetime!
