Want to beat the city hustle, traffic jams and noise? Looking for a more relaxed lifestyle? Well, country living might be just the ticket.

Experience the charm of country living…

• Picturesque counties and regions blanket the Ontario landscape, yet no two rural communities are the same. They can be small centres next door to major cities. They might be towns, villages, First Nations communities, or remote locations in the North.
• People who move to rural Ontario find communities that instantly reach out to them. Socially diverse and active, rural communities offer endless opportunities to get involved.
• The lower cost of living, coupled with a full array of social and economic amenities, form an irresistible lifestyle alternative to big city living.
• Wide open spaces, fresh air and healthy living. With plenty of natural resources, culture and recreational opportunities, rural living is both rich and rewarding.
• Whether you want to grow a large vegetable garden or live in a big rambling house with windows overlooking a lush back yard, rural living offers the space you need to contemplate ideas and commune with nature.
• The success Ontario enjoys today as the economic engine of the country owes much to the strengths of rural Ontario's rich agriculture, forestry, mining and manufacturing sectors.

If you're looking for a peaceful pace in a community that champions family values and tradition, look to Ontario's rural towns.
