Neighbourhoods
We are located in the small town of Norland (population 300)! It may be small but it is very friendly and has everything you need - 3x convenience stores, a pub, an LCBO, an Esso garage and fishing supplies. The river runs right through the town so there are beautiful views and you can kayak right up to our local patio pub. In winter, the snowmobile trails go right through the town. It is an easy 1 hr 50 min drive from downtown Toronto.
