Moving to Ottawa Area

[Fox]

Hey Werner. Actually we started looking at Smith's Falls, and then South of the City. However, we've now zeroed in on the Constance Bay area.

Not a bad area, good ice fishing in the winter, close to tons of Crown land just to the west.

We are just south of Ottawa and make the commute in every day, it is worth it though to stay out of the City tax blanket. If you are looking for something in the city blanket and you want country freedom be sure to check the zoning, rural residential will kill you, not able to have chickens and I bet a bon fire pit would be out of the cards too. One woman at the market we are vendors at lived on 1 acre just inside the city limits, farmers fields all around here and the stink of liquid manure envelopes her home but she cannot even have one hen at her place, they are totally banned for her zoning, insane.

Welcome to the area, I grew up in KW and moving up here for school was the best thing I could have ever done.

Welcome to Ottawa. It will be great to finally meet you, hopefully you can join me on few hunts next year on the crown surrounding Ottawa.

Thanks Fox. I've been keeping a close eye on zoning where we're looking.

So quick update guys. ( and thanks for some of the input).

We just bought a home in Constance Bay. Backing onto the Torbolton Forest. My son and wife have already met his teacher and some of his classmates.

I had to pass up on Cabelas job offer, as I had an offer come in from another firm more in my field, for more $$$.

House closes May 18. I'll be up there a fair bit between now and then regardless.

Good stuff, when you get settled send me a PM, I know a guy that goes out that way hunting quite often, he used to be on here but I have not seen him in a while. I can get you in touch with him, he can line you up with some ice fishing, soft water fishing, maybe a goose hunt or two.

Sounds like a plan.

Good Luck Steve, I guess no more meets at Tim's for equipment exchanges :-)

Congrats on the move and getting away from the GTA
