The Villages in Canada?
 
A friend sent me this interesting article about a “Village” in Canada that may look like us. More Canadians might decide to stay up north if they like the weather.


How this Canadian theme-park company is redesigning retirement living

Did everyone read the whole article? I didn’t know “Forrec started small in working on The Villages” and “Forrec’s work has played no small role in helping The Villages grow “. I had never heard of Toronto-based Forrec Ltd. until reading the article.

Nor had I. I was told Univresal helped design the squares. I guess that was partially correct.

Yep, I agree.

If there were an area in Canada that had a chance of mimicking TV, I think it would be on the west coast around Vancouver...where the winters aren't quite as harsh.

Quite frankly IMHO, there are few places in the world that are more scenic than British Columbia in general...and the Vancouver to Whistler/Blackcomb area in particular. :thumbup:

As a Canadian, I feel qualified to respond.
Do you have any idea how cold it gets in Hamilton, Ontario, during the winter? :cold:
No free golf for life! As a matter of fact, no golf at all from November to April (and that's when we have a mild winter).
Thanks, but we much prefer our winter home in The Villages. Much!

Snow golf anyone?

Did you know that the Toronto-based Forrec Ltd. played such a large part in the design of our squares? They did a good job.

The Villages is listed under what we do and then resorts on their web site.
