- manuel13777

Pluses: This small town has a great school system, curling and ice rinks, a library, gas station, beautiful old houses, nice little park, baseball fields, soccor fields and friendly people. Also there is an Elks / Royal Purple club which does alot of fundraising for the town. The library does card making classes and other classes for kids and adults.
There are grain fields surrounding the town which look serene ini the fall. There is also alot of cattle farmers, it is hard to not spot a lazy cow grazing in a green pasture.

Minuses: Because of the smallness of the town, the kids do get bored easily.

A great place to... Raise a family, walk the dog or gaze up at the unpolluted sky to watchthe stars.

Pluses: Highgate is a quiet rural community of 500 people. It has a balance of individuals in various age groups, and its quiet setting is attracting more families, despite a slow growth of new construction.
Urban development experts and the municipality of Chatham Kent have cited Highgate to be a growing the artistic niche of the municipality, and already is home to internationally renowned sculptors, Dam de Nogales. Highgate is also the original hometown to John B. Lee, one of Canada's most renowned poets.
Among other businesses, Highgate houses a municipal library, a post-office, a park with several baseball diamonds, a variety-store-restaurant, a gas station, and auto repair/body shop. Two churches have sizeable congregations.
Its location, just off 401 and being midway between Chatham and London, makes it uniquely located between two bustling city centres, while still being only 10 minutes from Lake Erie. It is the south-eastern gate to Chatham Kent.

Minuses: Due to provincial financial pressures to number crunch within primary and secondary school systems, the primary school closed a few years ago, which is a lifeline for many small communities. Fortunately, there are three primary schools, a secondary school, and a branch of the university of Guelph, in the neighbouring community of Ridgetown, a mere 8 km away.

Like much of the Chatham, it is difficult to attract doctors, and Highgate, must rely on doctors in neighbouring communities. Family dentists are present in Highgate, with a beautiful rural setting. The location of the village allows for emergency care choices from hospitals in Chatham (25 min), Newbury (25 min) or London (38 min) depending on needs. Most residents have home doctors in neigbouring Ridgetown.
Like much of southern Ontario, the land is relatively flat, making it good for farming, bad for skiiing. It is one of the few places that still has a traditional country fair. Clearview forest boasts hiking trails.

A great place to... overall it is a good place to invest in a home within a carrying community--or if visiting it is a good place to have an ice-cream while seated in the Highgate Piazza in the centre of town... Highgate boast two public sculptures...

Other info: Approx. 500 residents -- 75 minutes to the Windsor-Detroit Border -- 40 minutes to downtown London -- 25 minutes to downtown Chatham -- 10 minutes to Lake Erie -- 2+1/2 hours to downtown Toronto...

Other info: Harcourt has the basics of any small community: the gas station/convenience/liquer store. There is a large elementary school with a government funded computer access centre. There are many different churches and older homes with charm. Not much by way of man-made entertainment, but beautiful in its plentiful forests and the beautiful brooks.
