It is also Ontario’s fifth most populous city, but with the 27th highest population density. This new development’s vibrant area features brand-named grocery stores, shops, pharmacies and banks all located within a 3 kilometre radius, and eateries that represent several cultures just 2 kilometres from this future residence.
