Looking For Community Service Hours?

Posted by Greg Dewar on July 4th, 2022

Hey, Students!

Looking for Community Service hours?

We want to hear from you.

As every student knows, in order to receive an Ontario Secondary School Diploma every graduate is required to have completed a minimum of 40 hours of community service. There are many ways in which a student can achieve this goal including helping with local food banks, community park clean-ups, and volunteering at retirement centers. This is a great opportunity for youth to gain a strong sense of community and even a bit of work-transferrable experience. In return, our community becomes a better place thanks to their efforts.

Exploring Cambridge’s Diverse Neighbourhoods

Posted by Greg Dewar on November 9th, 2021

Welcome to
Cambridge, Ontario

As a Cambridge realtor, I frequently get asked what part of Cambridge is best to live in. My answer always depends on what the asker’s lifestyle is – do they like to be in the thick of things or are they looking for a quiet spot to settle down? Do they have children or would they prefer to be in a good location to commute to Toronto?

One of the reasons why Cambridge is such an appealing place to live is because of its proximity to Toronto and also because the city itself is mature with a wide range of different styles of homes. There are four main neighbourhoods in Cambridge – each of which I’ve written about before but I think is worth tying together with an nice overview for an even easier comparison.
