What Makes Milton Great?

Milton is prosperous, affordable, safe, easy to maneuver, has good weather and outdoor activities, plenty of amenities, and close to larger cities.¹

It is one of the friendliest and safest cities in all of Ontario; a place to feel at home.

Although Milton is Canada’s fastest growing community, with a population growth of 30% in the last five years, it holds onto its small-town roots.¹

The Milton area has many Conservation Area parks, with hiking trails and locations for a wide variety of activities within its borders. Some of the surrounding parks are:
