Description

Back-split (1969) comfortable home, not a chateau. Completely equiped with 2 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms + office or possible extra bedroom. Finished family room in basement. Small yard, nice neighbours, mature part of the city of Newmarket. 2 hours to Niagara Falls, 30 minutes to Toronto waterfront, 5 hours to Ottawa. Ontario is more than 2000 kilometres west to east.
We may offer a cottage with small boat, on a lake 800 k north of Newmarket if it would be of interest. There are neighbours at the lake. They speak French and English. Distances a great in Canada.

Neighborhood

Nice neighbourhood. Quartier calme, bien établi, à portée de tout. La ville compte 70,000 habitants. C'était jadis une évasion de la ville de Toronto, mais au fil des années elle devient membre de la GTA (Greater Toronto Area).

About Us

We are grandparents. My wife, Annalee, and I were teachers for many years. We have visited the battlefields of northern France, and we would like to return. We love photography, and the cinema. We are avid canoeists. On essaie de faire du canoë tous les jours au cours de l'été, mais ça se fait à notre chalet qui se trouve à 800 kilomçtres au nord d'ici. We love nature. We love travel. In our youth we were several times to France and western Europe. We love the British Isles too. Our travel has been less aggressive in recent years. Notre espoir serait de pouvoir rendre homages aux centaines de milliers de jeunes qui sont tombés pour assurer notre liberté lors des deux conflagrations du 20e siècle. On songe à faire un genre de pélérinage le long de la ligne du front entre Verdun et la côte des débarcations du Jour J. Our world is quite different from the old world from which our ancestors came to build a new life in Canada. Moi, mes racines remontent aux premières nations canadiennes, ainsi qu'à des immigrants venus de l'Ecosse, l'Irelande, et ma femme trouve ses racines en Russie, et en Hollande. Elle parle allemand. Moi je me débrouille en français et en anglais. If anyone is interested in trading lives with us, we can discuss further details by email.

Destination

If we were successful in finding someone willing to trade residences, it would be our plan to use the residence mainly as a place to sleep. We would spend most of our time exploring.
It is clear to us, that anyone coming to Canada, and choosing our home, would almost certainly have the same idea. Newmarket is well supplied with community activties, good restaurants, etc. but there is much to see in Ontario. Distances are great, but we have a very safe and sturdy vehicle to swap along with our residence.
