Found just west of Barrie, Angus is perfect for residents seeking a tranquil family life, and is considered more affordable than other Toronto suburbs. Although north of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), Angus is easily accessible by Highway 400, making it more convenient for those commuting to work. Residents like the quite charm, friendly locals and amicability that Angus provides.

Angus is also wonderful for those looking to be closer to nature, providing a picturesque escape from urban life. Residents enjoy stunning golf courses, scenic hiking, wonderful skiing and a host of other outdoor adventures.

In fact, magnificent Lake Simcoe (a part of the infamous Trent-Severn Waterway) is located very close to Angus. Such close proximity opens up all new beaches, boating and water activities for families opting to take a quick road trip for a day or weekend outing. Famous among avid fishers, Simcoe offers some truly unforgettable fishing opportunities and competitions.

Open year-round, Simcoe’s deep blue waters and scenic beaches are widely considered cleaner and warmer, making the lake perfect for yacht clubs and sailing, waterskiing, jet skiing, tubing, paddle boarding, kite surfing, or even just relaxing with a book by the waterside while everyday stresses melt away. In fact, the ever-popular Willow Beach to the south in Georgina is one of the biggest, most enjoyed beaches around.

For those seeking more adventure, Lake Simcoe is very popular for scuba enthusiasts. Although there are many dive points (even in the fresher waters), the most dived spots by far would have to be the deepest waters in Kempenfelt Bay and the wreck of the ship ‘J.C. Morrison’, found near Centennial Beach. Divers report water visibility can be anywhere from nearly 30 feet to almost completely dark.

Angus is also close to the Canadian Forces Base Borden (CFBB), which employs trains over 15,000 military personnel each year, providing jobs to over 4,000 people. Borden provides world-class military training and teaches military trades, such as financial, engineering, firefighting and technicians (biological, nuclear and chemical).
