Yep.  It's across from Crown Isle (next to the bunch of car dealerships.)  Let the madness begin.

  I grew up in Borden.. it was great. The tranquility of rural life with Barrie 20 mins away and Toronto 1.5 hours away. Best of both worlds. Alliston is even closer with everything you need.

 

And for couth, culture and cheap wings, don't forget Mrs Edgar's Muddy Water Tavern and Home for Wayward Girls in Beeton.

There's no "getting".........its OPEN

Almost all of the bases you could possibly end up in ( given the trades you posted) will fit the things you mentioned. I've been to all of them and maybe Cold lake could be an area for concern for you.

Cold Lake!? really? I always thought of that place as like a hole in the wall.....in the forest.
An acquaintance of mine used to say that weren't fond of the military but he always got lucky with the line, "I'm a Zamboni driver at the arena"

Housing in Greenwood is certainly cheaper but taxes are higher, groceries are on par (except for milk, which is almost double what it costs out west) and utilities more expensive.

Damn it man, screw the milk! How much is beer?

My sister and brother-in-law and their kids love living there.

Ignorant question of the day: Is anyone ever posted to Alert for more than 12months? Is it possible that someone that has brought their family to live there?

No.

That's good to know. I'd love to work out that way, for a couple months, just to tick that off life's to-do list. But I couldn't see spending any large amount of time in a "settlement"

Folks I know have been posted to Cold Lake kicking and screaming... then posted out kicking and screaming.  If you like the outdoors and a small community, Cold Lake is an ideal place.
