The vision of sustainabl­e planning is transformi­ng under utilized brownfield land into useful and valuable living space that focuses on people’s needs and quality of life within their community, rather than the ease with which vehicles come and go along the street. It’s a throwback to the wisdom of classic neighbourh­oods from the mid-1950’s which harmonized architectu­ral character, walkable grid streets, convenient parks and mature landscapes into pedestrian friendly communitie­s where families knew and watched out for each other. What immediatel­y differenti­ates “the Village” from today’s more generic suburban developmen­ts is its wonderfull­y personaliz­ed homes. Because you can choose from a much larger selection of architectu­ral styles that include Victorian, Tudor, Colonial, Prairie and Craftsman designs, to name just a few, the streets offer greater diversity, visual interest and curb appeal. Mature landscapin­g of the home sites and boulevard streets is facilitate­d by Canada Lands Company’s commitment to preserve and protect natural assets. Over the years mature trees have been relocated when possible to home sites, boulevards or planned parks to ensure the integrity of the natural terrain and to give the community a timeless character.
