People & Lifestyle

Oakville is known for its diversity, and a wide range of demographics call it home. For example, it is ranked in the top three best places to retire in Canada as well as in the top five best places to raise a family, meaning that seniors and young professionals alike enjoy all that Oakville has to offer. Despite having a booming job market and being the largest town in Ontario in terms of population, Oakville maintains the feeling of a small suburb. With a community-oriented vibe and access to top-of-the-line amenities, residents truly enjoy the best of both worlds.
