No Trees in Oakville! They're mad on them. Thousands are planted every year. Builders have to landscape and plant trees as part of the permissions to build. More recently the municipality has passed bye-laws to protect trees. Now you will see fences built around trees to protect them on a building site or roadside. Even trees on private property are protected: you need to get permission to cut them down, the process costs around $300 and there are heavy fines for those that choose cut without permission.

You shouldn't move to Mississauga. It's a bad idea to live in places with names you can't spell.

I did that. Beach to Guelph. Yes, awful. Look at Streetsville, it's old enough to be an actual place, not just 'burb, same for Port Credit.

Hi dollface, I live in a 'Simpsons' house in Glen Abbey on a tree lined street with a small garden, big enough for kids to play in.
We are close by to a big park and loads of trails where you can walk,cycle, a number of Provincial parks a short drive away.
If you have money your children can do anything they wish to try their little hands at, everything is offered here.
My daughter is an Abbey Lane Public School which has a strong community involvement, Pilgrim Wood Public School is also I have heard is a good school which is in Glen Abbey they both feed into Abbey Park High School which is excellent.
Oakville offers many different housing styles and areas we were taken around by our realtor who showed us loads of areas and housing styles and gradually narrowed it down to what we were looking for and found the perfect area and house for us.
