About this episode

Bob and Michelle share their journey of finding a community in Watercolour Westport after years of searching across Canada.

New homeowners Bob and Michelle join us to share the incredible journey that led them to Watercolour Westport. After 36 years in Oshawa, this retired educator couple searched coast-to-coast across five provinces for a community that met their must-haves: an energy-efficient builder, sustainability, walkability, and easy access to nature. They discuss how Landark Homes’ vision for a net-zero-ready, connected village finally checked all the boxes, providing a welcoming and healthier place to call home. They also share why they gave up one of their cars and what they look forward to as they integrate into village life. _______________________ Connect with Us!
