All of these are delicious places to eat within walking distance from our place.
We love cottage cafe for a nice coffee and delicious fresh food. It is a short (5 min) walk from our place and over looks beautiful Lake Banook.

The Canteen is our favourite place to eat out if we are having a date. The food is fresh and delicious and the chef was a competitor on Canada`s Top Chef in 2019! Tip: You'll need a reservation if you want to go to the Canteen. They also have a take out place next to it called Little C with lots of fresh food as well.

Oat hill lake is really close to our house. Just walk up the hill and take Lorne Street and you will see it. It is a nice fresh lake for swimming and has a nice walking trail around it.
