Toronto suburbs
 
Can any one give me a thumbnail sketch of the areas of Burlington, Flambrough, Ancasters/Dundas, and Hamilton. I am curious about alternatives to Oakville especially if the exchange rate keeps heading into the toilet.

Thanks.

I can't answer your question fully but when i visited mt sister in T.O. a few years ago, she told me that Hamilton has the highest cancer rate in Canada. How true that is I don't know but if I were to choose, I'd give there a miss :)

My word, Hamilton sure gets a bad press. Largely due to the industrial bit by the water everyone sees from the QEW. I hear that its really not so bad in the city itself, and pretty good value for that corner of the world.

Actually I think its Sarnia that had a dreadfull record due to chemical valley and all the asbesdos related industrial diseases associated with poor health and safety practices in the 40s and 50s

(Can you tell I'm the management safety rep here?)
