Pluses: A nice little town that has survived fires and the closing of its only industry, the coal mine. The Joggins beach with lots of fossils to pick up is well worth the trip to see. The cliffs are fantastic, and every so often, a fossilized tree will emerge from the stone, washed out by the tide.

Minuses: There isn't much else to see, no stores to shop in, and no gas station.

A great place to... beachcomb for fossils.

Other info: The picture you are showing of the Joggins wharf is so very old and outdated. The wharf has been gone for many years, and only if you are lucky you might find a spike that held the wharf together. The wharf was abandoned when the mines closed, and that was many years ago.

Pluses: We love Long Branch, smack in the middle of two awesome lake ontario waterfront parks.... Sam Smith & Marie Curtis, with Len Ford right in the middle. Its literally a 13 minute GO train ride to Union station (and that's on the milk run!) The bike path east is unbroken except for a section that runs along the lakeshore through mimico... so if you feel like cycling 17kms to work & back, its one of the best commutes ever!

Minuses: Area is underserved with higher end retail & coffee shops, recognizing the influx over the last few years of new home proud property owners fleeing the insane bidding wars further east. These are choosy people. They WANT to spend money, but also NEED quality vendors.

Apartment complex on the site of the original hotel near the water attracts an unsavoury element. But the police patrol regularly, under pressure from the afore mentioned group of proud property owners. Unfortunately this complex may have set the tone for the area's retailers over the years.

A great place to... The waterfront path system through these parks are excellent for cycling, rollerblading, jogging, x country skiing.... used to be great early morning exercise boot camps in the summer.

We x country ski the paths all winter after a good snow dump. Although ungroomed, the winter waterfront scenery is glorious.

Marie Curtis gets the right winds for windsurfing and when the winds are right, becomes a mecca for windsurfers. A river runs through Marie Curtis, dividing the park in 2 (there's a pedestrian bridge). The park has boat launch ramps and many people find the river good for fishing. Sam Smith has a yacht club, Humber campus is nearby and there's cricket & rugby played. This park is naturalist oriented, with lots of wetlands and observation posts, so good to keep the dog on a leash unless you want him tearing off into a muddy swamp chasing a duck. Also, the dog catcher likes to wander through threatening off leash dogs with tickets. Its entertaining to avoid him.

Other info: Lake Shore "Avenues" project promises upgrades in infrastructure to recognize the special qualities of this area of town - and offers special incentives to shop keepers to upgrade their properties. Special development deals are going down, with quiet side deals being made to get condo developers to add to the area's infrastructure (much like the butterfly park & etc. further east in the Humber area). Opportunities abound for retailers who want to cut a deal for space in advance of inflated lease prices, and gain access to spendy inhabitants of the condos going up.

Pluses: Ayer's Cliff is a nice town to live in.

Minuses: The town water is not clean and it has not been for years. Alot of people in this village have cancer. I wonder about if the water has something to do with the high number of those who have cancer and the ones who have already died.It is scary and very sad if that is the case.

A great place to... raise a family , once the water is cleaned up.

Other info: Winter Carnival has been brought back and it is wonderful. Kids need the old time entertainment , like I enjoyed when I was a kid(a hundred years ago).

Pluses: Dundas is an absolutely beautiful town and a great place if you enjoy the outdoors

Minuses: I find that being a single parent, you come across many negative attitudes and people tend to push you out of their social circle if they are married and in a better financial circumstance.

I also find that the community centre does not use it's facilities properly. Many other rec centres tend to have more activities to hold the younger populations interest (basketball, Friday fun nights, etc.), whereas Dundas concentrates on outdoor activities like soccer and baseball, as well as hockey. They need to open up the community centre so that children/pre-teens/teens have somewhere to go to gain social skills and develop healthy lifestyles and healthy choices. Far too many young people are bored and become distructive in this town.

A great place to... enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, skiing, etc. if that is something you enjoy. It is also a town full of history.

Minuses: no clean water

A great place to... relax

- gnolander

Pluses: best kept secret. I guess not anymore. been here 25 years,as close to heaven as you can get, I honestly can't say anymore it all depends what you are expecting from a vacation. Fishing, hiking, scenery, swimming, bird watching. unfortunately it may not last, would like to see quads and all motorized vehicles restricted from the area as the wildlife is abundant and being very dry many native plants will not recover from this type of use. Part of me wants to keep this area from development but unfortunately this is inevitable. So please "Enjoy life's journey,but leave no tracks."

Minuses: May get very bad mosquitoes in July if flooding occurs.

A great place to... get in touch with your real self.
