A New Perspective On Active Retirement Living

 

Head South! The WindsorEssex Peninsula is Ontario and Canada's southernmost point.

Across from Detroit, Michigan, the peninsula is bordered by Lake Erie, the Detroit River

and Lake St. Clair.

Live for Less! Real estate is the most affordable in Ontario - purchasing a home or

property here will range 30% to 60% less than in comparable markets. Luxury retirement 

developments are under construction, completed or scheduled to break ground and

account for $90 million in private money between 2007 and 2010.

Be comfortable! On the same latitude with northern California and southern Italy, we 

enjoy a temperate climate - 7 months of short-sleeve weather - long, hot summers and

moderate winters.

Stay Active, Naturally! Our recreational playground and Canada's most biologically

diverse region offers 20 conservation areas and 3 islands for hiking, birding, kayaking,

camping and diving for shipwrecks. Cross-country ski through miles of woodlands and

along shorelines. Enjoy challenging golf and an extended golf season on 35 golf courses,

fresh water fishing and a boater's paradise with 30,000 watercraft and 2,800 marine berths. 

Have fun! Take in premiere 24-hour gaming and star performers at the new Caesars

Casino, live harness-racing action and slots at Windsor Raceway, 14 award-winning

estate wineries, county fairs and festivals, multi-cultural celebrations, botanical gardens

and bird sanctuaries and four major-league teams in Detroit.

Express yourself! Our culturally-diverse region features the AGW (Art Gallery of

Windsor), nationally acclaimed performances by the Windsor Symphony Orchestra;

premiere entertainment at the St. Clair Centre for the Arts; The Windsor Light Opera

and interaction with whimsical works of art in the Odette Sculpture Gardens.

Smarten-up! Recognized as a leading research and development institution, the

University of Windsor provides 9 faculties and offers 51 Masters and Doctoral programs.

St Clair College of Applied Arts and Technologies offers 8 schools of specialization

with 85 programs, and 12 private schools offer fast-track skills and training programs.

Take Good Care! We're focused on leading health-care specialists and facilities

that include 2 municipal and one county hospital providing 1,000 acute-care beds;

state-of-the-art Windsor Regional Cancer Centre; 20 long-term care facilities, the

University of Windsor's new Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry plus expedient

access to world-class hospitals in Detroit, the University of Michigan Health System

in Ann Arbor and London Health Sciences Centre, London, Ontario. 

Southbound or globe-trotting...travel with ease! Considered the gateway

connection between Canada and the U.S., the region is a major transportation hub

for air, rail, truck and marine services. Windsor International Airport offers easy

access to scheduled airlines, private and executive charters, medi-vac and freight

services. Only 45 minutes away, Detroit Metro International Airport offers frequent

flights daily to southern U.S. and international destinations. Via Rail is located close

to downtown Windsor and offers quick access to frequent daily departures. Amtrak
