Our city offers access to Toronto (via bus, train or car) as well as the world-reknown Muskokas where one can go canoe-camping, fish pikes and bass or spot Hollywood actors on vacation!
Barrie is a gem, allowing for urban and rural holidays as well as catering wilderness adventures a short distance away. We love the wilderness and often disappear on a canoe camping adventure with our sons.
The neighbourhood is peaceful, the neighbours are our friends and our kids play together.
It is an oasis in town and gives us access to summer activities that are within walking distance (tennis, hiking, swimming and a playground for the kids) as well as winter activities a short drive away(ice skating, skiing, dogsleding, snowshoeing and ice fishing).
At the same time, we are a few minutes walk to all the restaurants and entertainment the city has to offer: restaurants, movies, plays, festivals...
We are also close walking distance to a fitness center, grocery store, access to bus and train.

Mark (teacher) and Jenny (internal auditor) are a married couple with two sons: Benjamin(4) and Nathaniel (15).
We love the outdoors and would like to experience it through travelling to other countries.
We are very active and love anything that has to do with water (that's why we live by the lake and own a canoe!).
We would love to see your area and show you ours.
