As the Gateway to the Kawarthas, Lindsay is so much more than a tourist stopover or a recreational playground. It’s a vibrant, diverse community and a hub for business and commerce for the surrounding area towns and villages. It’s a wonderful place to live if you love nature and the great outdoors, while offering a growing and expanding service sector. Lindsay has a beautiful, picturesque downtown and its historic landmarks make it an inviting place to settle and call home. The town boasts a wide variety of outdoor activities, shopping, dining and entertainment opportunities and it very enthusiastically celebrates its cultural heritage. Home to Fleming College, many organizations and clubs, a wide range of Health Services, Ross Memorial Hospital and a vibrant sports and recreation scene, the town of Lindsay is well positioned to continue attracting growth due to its ability to be all things to all people. Quality of life is essential to choosing a community to make your home. Lindsay gives you that small town, almost rural feel where you can get up close with agriculture and nature while also offering city amenities and services. This scenic gem is worth serious consideration for that special community to call home. www.exploringmagazines.ca 4 Ramada by Wyndham • Two Ballrooms that can accommodate up to 275 guests • Eight Conference/Meeting Rooms • 40 Double Queen and King Hotel Rooms “Free” • Special Group & Conference Rates Wireless • 40” Flat Screens Internet • On-Site Restaurant • Delicious Catering Newly Renovated Rooms LOOKING FOR AN AFFORDABLE WEDDING VENUE?
