We are a musical and "handy" family who also enjoy animals, mostly dogs. Our children play piano and sing and enjoy sports. The parents are both teachers in high school: mom is a music teacher and dad is a cooperative education teacher. Dad enjoys woodworking, home improvement, and we are all avid readers.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our neighbourhood has large lot sizes and larger homes and lots of trees between the houses. Many residents walk their dogs or ride their bicycles around our 1.2 km, flat community. We all have access to a fresh water lake with great fishing, sand beach that has a small playground at it, as well and a covered picnic area and chairs for everyone to use. There is a small airport for tiny planes nearby, a golf course, hiking and biking trails, and it is only a 20 minute walk along the York River into the main town. We have canoes for your use at our motor boat-free lake. Our town has a public tennis court. Bancroft has a beautiful theatre called the Village Playhouse which hosts dramatic and musical productions all summer long with an outdoor patio area.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
We live in the country near the Canadian Shield area of Ontario with granite ridges, fresh water glacial lakes, and an abundance of coniferous and deciduous trees. Toronto and Ottawa are both a 3 hour drive by car, and Niagara Falls is approximately 4 hours by car. Algonquin Provincial Park is nearby, and many other Indigenous attractions are within a 1 hour drive of Bancroft. The Eagle's Nest, a popular look-out, lets one look out over the entire town and you can also enjoy hiking there.
