Southern Ontario is a good place for the fisheries. Here in Hamilton we have a large government fisheries facility that does research in the Great lakes. Lots to do here but we get snow about 3 months a year. lots of traffic but close enough to wilderness to get away. Centre fo Inland Waters.
2 bedroom home probably 225.000 in our area, modest home in the city. Slightly more in the suburbs. Lots more the closer you get to Toronto.
