Traveler advice
Getting around
Walk and bike everywhere
We are in a great walkable and bikeable location for nearly all amenities in town. Although we are across the highway from downtown, there 2 nearby signaled crossings for pedestrians and a nearby path under the bridge if you wish to send children to explore independently.

The town trails are nearby
We are in a perfect location to catch the city trail system and explore the riverfront and neighbourhoods

Float the river
The recommended access point to float the river in the summer is from the bridge at Canadian Tire, and exit at the town boat launch. This will provide a 30-minute float, depending on river conditions. Or get out at the Bridge Bistro and simply walk home! Canadian Tire is the best spot to purchase an inflatable.
Don't miss
