There's Bronte Creek Provincial Park, with its outdoor pool, scenic hiking trails, fishing, biking, camping and year-round activities. And there's the spectacular Burlington Waterfront's walking and biking trails, Bronte Harbour Yacht Club, beaches, parks, Burlington Pier and waterfront promenade.
Clearly many have already discovered the allure of this vibrant community, Burlington is already home to people with some of the country's highest incomes. And there's still ample opportunity to live among the uber wealthy: the city has been named one of the top 10 spots for best place jobs in Ontario, and expects to add 20,000 new jobs over the next 20 years.
