Thought we’d do a quick round up of some of the interest generated by Meaford Haven’s recent Open House. Meaford Haven’s vision of a unique retirement community in the beautiful Southern Georgian Bay area is just beginning to catch the attention of folks ’round here. Here are a few recent notices.
The Meaford Independent
“Boiron calls Meaford Haven a “three seasons” community because it provides for three stages of retirement, from active retirees, to those who are “settling in” but still want to live independently, to people who are looking for assisted living. Cluster bungalows, mid-rise condominiums and senior apartments provide for each of these stages and allow residents to remain in the same community as their needs change.”
The Meaford Express
“The developers have also thrown their hat into the ring to be the site of a new community family health centre in Meaford. The proposal includes a commercial portion at the front of the property on the highway that could potentially host the health centre. In addition to the health centre, the proponents of the development are also suggesting that the commercial portion of the project could host offices for dentists, wellness practitioners and would have enough space for a full service pharmacy, convenience store and dry cleaners.
“‘It’s going to change Meaford,’ said development President Pierre Boiron. ‘We’re appealing to retirees, quiet people that don’t have a mortgage. Here all they will have is the monthly fee,’ he told The Express at the open house.
“The property includes a number of environmental features including two streams, butternut trees and a large forest area.”

“[Meaford] is one heck of a pretty little Town. It surely has one of the nicest trail systems in the area and the best waterfront access of any community in South Georgian Bay. Driving in from the east, you cross a bridge over the Bighead River and view Georgian Bay straight ahead… [Meaford Haven] includes plans for up to 400 units of mixed-use housing including bungalows, apartments, condominiums, assisted living/long-term care units and a commercial component including health centre and recreation facilities
