Port Perry is conveniently located just north of Oshawa on the shores of Lake Scugog. Popular for its small-town charm and close commuting distance, with an enthusiastic, involved community.

The Great Blue Heron Casino draws many visitors, as do the boutique shops and restaurants in Port Perry's downtown. GO Transit bus from Whitby serves the area (and the Casino).

Many younger families have relocated here for a safer, smaller-town atmosphere while keeping GTA careers — a bustling little town with many events and activities.
