Glen Abbey
September approaches as Glen Abbey enjoys beautiful weather. The weather has turned a bit milder and fall is already in the air with some trees already beginning to turn colours.
Located in beautiful Oakville, Ontario in Canada, Glen Abbey is a growing community with much to offer. Glen Abbey is a newer planned community with many fine homes situated near bountiful walking and biking trails with a modern infrastructure, plenty of recreational opportunities and of course the Glen Abbey Golf Course, host of the 2009 Canadian Open. The Canadian Open concluded last year under soggy conditions with the Australian Nathan Green winning in a fourth round playoff.
The Canadian Open 2009 was held July 20-26, 2009 at the Glen Abbey Golf Club. Canadian Open 2010 will be held at Sir George's in Toronto.
Today there are many beautiful walking and biking trails along with the downtown Oakville and Bronte harbours to enjoy. The recently upgraded Community Centre includes a four lane indoor leisure pool, water slide, conversation pool with a capacity of over 150 people. The new Sixteen Mile Sports Complex with quad pad ice surfaces is scheduled to open September, 2010.
This summer 2010 downtown Oakville hosted several community activities:
- June 17-19 Downtown Oakville Sidewalk Sale
- July 1: Noon to 10:30 p.m. Canada Day Celebration
- Bronte Heritage Waterfront Park - August 6-8 Downtown Oakville Jazz Festival
Also housed in the same complex as the Community Centre is the Oakville Public Library. You can access many of the library's information online and even access library databases including magazine back issues and statistical databases with a current library card.
The neighboring Oakville Gymnastics Club is one of the finest in the world and our newly constructed indoor Soccer facility is also world class. From plenty of top notch stores to the quaint landscape and fine restaurants of famous downtown Oakville, our town has an enviable infrastructure and is made up of great people.
The local indoor and outdoor pools located throughout Oakville are offering their Spring recreational swimming programs and lessons. Kids are already looking forward to Summer holidays. In Glen Abbey there are a wide variety of after school sports and activities being offered including swimming, martial arts and even fencing!
