I did a Google map search of the area and found it to be and island linked to the main island and yes there is a large build up of houses(noticed a lot of swimming pools ?) surrounding the parks (parcs) in question which just so happen to surround three golf courses.,, go figure ? Unfortunately you can't stop progress. As we grow so does the need to live somewhere and of course if you have money you can afford to buy up choice land to build your own little piece of heaven on, nothing wrong with living the dream right ?
You might compare it with Dufferin Woods or like places close to large urban centers ? Unless we start building up instead of out it's just a matter of time until there's a sub-division in your back forty. I see a lot of new houses being built in Norfolk County , some are clumped together at crossroads but a lot are down a concession , back in the woods. Can't blame the old farmer that wants to retire and his kids have jobs in the city and don't want to farm , so he does what he has to and cashes in on his investment. God bless him ! He's earned it.
As for leaf licking, tree hugging, squirrel kissers ? Don't get me started.
