We have many kilometres of groomed cross-country ski trails and snow shoe trails, uncrowded lakes and rivers to paddle on, country roads and trails with low traffic for cycling, as well as endless trails to explore on foot. There is little reason not to be active all year round for all ages.

We chose Sackville as our retirement town for so many reasons - great parks/outdoor pursuits, fantastic art scene - galleries, theatre, music and Indy movies. The local Seniors College offers a great selection of short courses and hobby related interests. Did I mention the Farmers Market, the Trans Canada Trail and affordable real estate!
