It's not just the prettiest town in Ontario with the best Heritage Conservation District - it's also a town with a very unique community spirit. Otherwise it would not support its own daily newspaper (the daily with the smallest circulation of any daily in Canada), have not only a Medical Centre but also a Community Health Care Centre, have Canada's only operating Atmospheric Theatre, its own Port Hope's own Police Service, its own Via Rail station, its own Lake Ontario yacht basin, its own Fall Fair, its own Jazz Festival, its own Community Care group, its own branch of the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario with its annual Historic House Tour, "the antiques capital of Ontario," its own archives . . .heck, don't get me started. And then there's Float Your Fanny Down the Ganny, a ten-kilometer race on the Ganaraska River that draws crowds of up to 15,000 spectators.
