OUR COMMUNITY

Community at the Heart of North Middlesex!

Nestled between the amenities of the nearby cities and the sun and sand of local beaches, this safe close-knit community is truly the best of all worlds. We have excellent elementary and high schools, retail, entertainment, service groups, clubs, faith communities and all season sports and recreation.
Whether you are touring a sugar bush in the spring, going for a summer sail on the lake, enjoying a fall hike or skiing in the winter, there is always something interesting to discover.

Together we live our motto:
“Working together today, Building a healthy tomorrow, Contributing as you can”

EDUCATION

We have several excellent Public and Catholic elementary schools as well as a high school. Nearby are post-secondary institutes including the University of Western Ontario, Fanshawe College in London and Lambton College in Sarnia.

LIFESTYLE & RECREATION

Fun for all ages! Active adults enjoy golf, sailing, cross-country skiing and hiking trails, as well as organized sports and service clubs. For the really adventuresome, try parachuting! If you prefer something quieter, take in the peaceful surroundings, attend a theatre, meander through our quaint shops or spend time in one of the many libraries.

Children and adolescents participate in organized sports, like soccer, hockey and baseball, social clubs, youth groups, as well as unstructured play at the splash and skateboard parks. Both Ailsa Craig and Parkhill offer cooperative playschools for the little ones to develop pre-learning and social skills.

Pack a family picnic for a day at the park or attend public skating on a Sunday afternoon. Whatever your interests or level of participation, we guarantee there is always something fun to do!

HOUSING

Local housing is reasonably priced within a variety of settings. Establish yourself on the beach front, a sprawling rural property or in the warmth of one of our towns or villages, there is a large selection of new and settled properties to choose from. MLS Canada
