    Senior living in Lively

    We love our great location in the community of Lively, part of the Greater Sudbury area. Our newly renovated retirement residence is just south of the Trans-Canada Highway, so it’s easy for you and your friends and family to get around. Surrounded by natural beauty but close to convenient local amenities like pharmacies, banks, walking trails, restaurants, and liquor stores, it’s not surprising that Lively is a sought-after place to live. The city of Sudbury is a 15–20-minute drive away.

    Things to do in Lively

    No need to choose between natural beauty and a dynamic small city: you can enjoy both! Practice your swing at the Lively Golf Course or the Stone Hill Golf Course. The nearby 2-km Hillfield Trail offers wheelchair accessible sections and plenty of scenic appeal. The Fielding Bird Sanctuary, a five-minute drive from Chartwell Meadowbrook, is an excellent birdwatching and wildlife viewing spot. Look to nearby Sudbury for shopping at the New Sudbury Centre and interesting venues and events. Check out live theatre, comedy, and musical performances at Yes Theatre and Fraser Auditorium. Love the art world? Visit La Galerie du Nouvel-Ontario, the Art Gallery of Sudbury, and Place des Arts du Grand Sudbury to discover emerging and established artists. The Sudbury Community Arena and Gerry McCrory Countryside Sports Complex are good venues to watch hockey, curling, and other sports. The well-kept Bell Park Walkway along the waterfront of Ramsey Lake in the heart of the city is another popular destination.
