A company with vested interest in getting people to and fro, believes the Ottawa Valley is a great place to go.
According to a nationwide study by Horizon Aircraft, a Canadian-based innovative leader in hybrid electric Vertical Take-off and Landing (eVTOL) aerial vehicles, 25% of urban Canadians would consider moving out of our more urban areas with a further 15% undecided.
That’s no surprise to County of Renfrew Warden, Peter Emon.
The Warden says hosting the Ontario Winter Games in February was, in effect, a “demonstration sport”.
Emon says the organized Ontario Winter Games just scratch the surface of what’s offered winters in Renfrew County.
Warden Emon says we are, in effect, an “all seasons” destination.
Among those considering a rural switch, the most popular reason for potentially moving was the desire for a better work life balance. Around half (47%) want to slow down, while 25% say the COVID-19 pandemic has made them reassess their lifestyle and what is important.
When the Warden returns to our discussion about the great bliss of living here, we’ll cover off potential obstacles- and whether Renfrew County is on a recruiting mission for new residents.
