For the last 4 years Canada has been named the top place to live when it comes to quality of life. So it really is no wonder the worlds wealthiest are are flocking to it shores to pick up a piece of Paradise.
Another interesting observation in the 50 years we have lived on the lake is as the wealthiest folks on the lake age and they start selling off their worldly properties. Their Lake of the Woods property is often the property they keep in the family. Some families have been on the lake for well over 100 years.
