EDITOR’S NOTE

A

s the old saying has it, if March comes in like a lamb, it goes out like a lion – and vice versa.

Here in Port Carling, the first few days of March are looking distinctly lamb-like: a bit of sun, a few flurries, and mild temperatures (especially compared to the last couple of months). Should we believe the predictions, hunker down and prepare for a last roar from the lion come early April?

I once had a conversation with a friend from Denmark, who said he was constantly amazed at the way we Canadians complain about winter. “You’re a northern country just like us, you should embrace winter!” he said, and he’s right.

And in fact, we Adairs are a family of skiers, snowboarders and tobogganers, and while I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: One of the best places in the world to enjoy winter is right here in Muskoka. There are great ski hills, lots of groomed snowmobile trails to drink in the scenery, and all kinds of outdoor adventures to enjoy all around the region.

That’s one of the blessings that a lot of city folk discovered over the last couple of years, when many of you decided to move up to the cottage to wait out the pandemic.

Muskoka is justly renowned as a terrific summer vacay destination, but while some restaurants and other venues do take the winter off, an increasing number are staying open year round. And with pandemic restrictions gradually easing, it’s a great time to come and check us out. You may just see winter in a whole new way.

BALANCING AESTHETICS AND WILDLIFE NEEDS IN MUSKOKA

By Tim Winegard, M.Sc., Owner and Certified Arborist, Muskoka Tree Solutions

M

uskoka is home to a wide range of wildlife. Some, like wolves, loons or moose, symbolize everything we love about untamed nature – while mosquitoes, blackflies and mice are another of nature’s forms that we see as a seasonal plague on cottage life. From the loved to the loathed, the management of your trees and the surrounding forest can influence the diversity and abundance of species on your property.

Though we may not all have the ability, space or resources to manage our properties for wolves and moose, we can take smaller steps towards promoting desirable species while minimizing the disturbance from others. To accomplish this, we need to examine what makes individual trees good, bad or ugly – and what influence these characteristics have on wildlife.

From the top to the bottom, healthy trees have:

1) 2)

Less than 5% of dead/dying crown material

Branches with well-developed branch-bark ridges where they meet the trunk

3)

A minimum of unhealed trunk damage from lost branches, poor pruning, plow damage, etc.

4)

Well-developed root flares (where the trunk tapers outwards into the root bed)

5)

THE

P

romoting healthy trees and forests on our properties with a variety of diverse species, ages and classes of trees provides habitats for many different kinds of wildlife, which depend on the availability of resources in the forest for food, shelter and raising offspring.

Understanding what makes a tree desirable, both structurally and ecologically, can help property owners support desirable wildlife habitat while minimizing risk to the cottage. Healthy trees are more resilient to pest outbreaks, are able to spend more energy on reproduction (seed, cone, nut production), and pose the least threat to cottages and homes.

Stable root systems free of girdling roots and visible damage

THE

I EVEN DEAD OR DISEASED TREES PLAY A ROLE IN CONTRIBUTING TO FOREST ECOLOGICAL PROCESSES.

n nature, of course, there is really no such thing as a “bad” tree. Even dead or diseased trees play a role in contributing to forest ecological processes. However, on your cottage property, it is important to know how to spot trouble before it’s too late.

Working with a professional arborist and forestry service like Muskoka Tree Solutions can provide peace of mind when tackling these property management decisions.

From the top to the bottom, “bad” trees have:

1)

Large amounts of dead canopy material, such as freshly fallen branches at the base, damaged branches, broken tops, or branches extending over utilities or buildings (exceeding 5-10% of canopy material)

2)

Branches or secondary stems with bark inclusions (i.e., no ridge) where they meet the trunk, or bursts of branch production randomly along the trunk

3)

Large open cavities, vertical or horizontal cracking in the trunk, extensive bark loss, discolouration or fruiting bodies from mushrooms

4)

A lack of well-developed root flares, or root flares that have been buried by grade changes or material deposition

5)

Unstable excavated root zones, with visible damage or lifting root systems

Ugly but beneficial wildlife trees may feature:

1)

Broken tops that provide nest building sites for osprey and other birds of prey

B

eauty is in the eye of the beholder when it comes to what constitutes an “ugly” tree – or a well-kept forest. For some, unusual forms, burls and knobs make for a romantic fairytale scene. For others, beauty lies in balanced, symmetrical trunks, orderly branching patterns and a clean-swept understory. But no matter which forest scene appeals more to you, good management means striking a balance. Remove too much dead or downed wood and you could disturb wildlife habitat; remove too little and it may pose a fire risk, or be unpleasing aesthetically.

Though the bad and the ugly may share some features in common, the only real difference has to do with potential threats to buildings or infrastructure. “Ugly” trees actually have some advantages, by providing nesting, roosting and overwintering grounds for a wide range of pest predators.

2)

Irregular branching patterns with tight cruxes, great for building nests out of sight

3)

Open cavities, or pileated woodpecker excavations, that provide habitat for everything from owls and ducks to bats and pine marten

4)

Flaking bark patches that can provide nesting sites for insect-eating birds, like brown creepers, or food storage locations for Canada jays

5)

Loose root mats or upturned root systems that can be excavated for underground dens and burrows for foxes, wolves or bear

THE MANAGEMENT OF YOUR TREES AND THE SURROUNDING FOREST CAN INFLUENCE THE DIVERSITY AND ABUNDANCE OF SPECIES ON YOUR PROPERTY.

THE

Maintaining these wildlife hotspots on your property in addition to a percentage of downed debris provides habitat for predator animals that will ultimately put top-down pressure on cottage pests like mice and mosquitoes.

Ultimately, how we balance our individual visions of Muskoka with the demands of local wildlife is an important consideration for our cottage properties.

By providing predatory insects, amphibians, birds and mammals the space they need to forage, reproduce and overwinter, we can feel good knowing we are maximizing our use of the good, minimizing our risk from the bad, and counting on the ugly, to make next year at the cottage even better than the last. muskokasolutions.com

Southern Ontario Restaurants with Good Food, Good People, and Good Times

BY MIKE SPRY

Dining out isn’t what it used to be. While in the past we often divided restaurants into the utilitarian and the elite, there’s been an evolution born of food networks, celebrity chefs, and endlessly and readily available global ingredients, and it’s brought diners a nearly infinite array of choices for their eating-out experiences.

Additionally, now more than ever, the common home cook fancies him- or herself a gourmand or chef-de-cuisine, demanding that bistros, gastropubs, and eateries the world over elevate their menus and venues to attract an ever-more discerning clientele.

Does this result in too many choices? It sure does, but we’re here to help. Combing through a plethora of back alleys, back roads, and baby back ribs, we’ve found some not-to-be-missed, tucked-away Southern Ontario restaurants that will surely have your tastebuds dancing, and your new air fryer dormant.

The past two years have been especially hard for the restaurant industry, and all these establishments have gone out of their way to make dining accessible, responsible, and safe with takeout, curbside, and patios. Support these local gems and explore experiences in dining knowing their menus, staff, and ambiance are addictive.

Figures

F

Toronto

igures Toronto describes itself as “the city’s most imaginative upscale resto-lounge” and, to be honest, the proprietors may be underselling the singularity of one of Yorkville’s can’t-miss hotspots. Since bursting onto the bustling Toronto restaurant scene in 2017, Figures has set itself apart from its peers not just in the unique conceit of the space, but the elevated, elegant, and avante-garde menu. Restaurateurs often use the term “experience” to describe their dining, but Figures doesn’t just earn that description; it redefines it.

To enter the Avenue Road location is to immerse oneself in a living dream of revelry and reverie. The menu and decor are a pop-culture menage of the zeitgeist, outfitted in Marvel and DC comic heroes, Star Wars characters, and other pop iconography – not in a way that is intrusive, but rather to evoke the comfort of one’s personal nostalgia. It is impossible not to be teleported to another time, or world. Designed by Toronto-based firm Prototype Design Lab, Figures features a DJ booth, lounge, and collectible shop. The venue is truly unique, in an era where “unique” has often lost its lustre.

The menu, built by a collaborative and equitable kitchen team model echoing the eclectic and democratic decor, is as playfully sui generis as the rest of the experience at Figures. The menu, refined as it is grounded in the restaurant’s creative framework, features dishes like A&W fried chicken bites, black truffle gnocchi, and slowcooked oxtail, among others.

The cocktail list boasts the Web-Slinging Spider Hombre, Johnny Blaze, and the Empire Did Nothing Wrong (an argument to rival Han shot first), as delectable as they are imaginative. Figures is Mos Eisley Cantina cranked to eleven, and is not to be missed. figuresto.com 137 Avenue Rd, Toronto, ON

Rogues Restaurant

T

Mississauga

here are institutions and then there’s Rogues Restaurant. Opened in 1983 by ​​Tony Pereira, Rogues has been serving Mississauga the finest in elevated dining for longer than much of its clientele has been alive. Pereira’s story is a restaurant industry fairytale: his rise from bussing tables at the fabled Windsor Arms Hotel in Toronto to owning one of Southern Ontario’s most celebrated restaurants is truly every restaurant worker’s dream come true.

But Rogues Restaurant refuses to rest on its laurels, and for nearly four decades has been offering evolved, inspired, and tasty dishes. Under the watchful eye of executive chef Bevan Terry – who has been with Rogues since 1989 and purchased the restaurant from Pereira just over four years ago and oversaw a subsequent renovation – the Northern Italy and Mediterranean-inspired menu has been the talk of Mississauga even as the Toronto suburb has grown into an internationally recognized culinary landmark in and of itself. The dishes remain seasonal as always, and as Bevan says, “A lot of what we are cooking at the restaurant is inspired by what is available to us.”

Veal fortunato, chicken parmesan, gnocchi gorgonzola, and parmesan-crusted Chilean sea bass are just a few of the Italian classics elevated to contemporary delights by Terry and his kitchen.

But the key to Rogues’ endurance and legacy goes beyond the menu. The restaurant prides itself on being “Mississauga’s Premier Fine Dining Experience,” underscored by the venue’s elegance and grace. But above all, it is comforting and comfortable to dine at Rogues, where its openconcept kitchen provides a warm but refined culinary experience, and where the wonder of the dishes dances to realization before your very eyes.

A peerless wine list complements the experience to perfection. roguesrestaurant.com 1900 Dundas St W. Mississauga, ON

Stoney's Bread Company

I

t’s seemingly a contradiction for a restaurant to be simultaneously a local institution and a hidden gem, but Stoney's ​​ Bread Company isn’t just any restaurant. An Oakville landmark since 2004, Stoney’s borrows its name from Toronto Argonauts legend Norm Stoneburgh (whose son Blake is a coowner with good friend Steve Chabot).

Stoney’s has been serving discerning Southern Ontario diners “familiar classics that you love served with a modern twist” with unprecedented fanfare and celebration, not to mention celebrity.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stopped by to make pizza while on the campaign trail in 2015, and the restaurant was featured in an episode of The Food Network’s “You Gotta Eat Here.” It’s also perennially named one of Oakville’s Top 10 Restaurants.

Oakville Serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day of the week, Stoney’s perpetuates its celebrity and hidden-gem status with a cozy dining room, warm staff, and gilt-edged Italian-inspired menu. Rustic soups and salads, pizzas and sandwiches are all comfort foods to die for, and are all freshly made on-site (like the homemade focaccia). Maple glazed salmon salad with new potato, bacon, green beans, onions, tomato and champagne vinaigrette; fettuccine à la chevre with goat cheese, grilled chicken, spinach, wild mushrooms and roasted red pepper cream; and the Regina pizza with caramelized onions, figs, prosciutto mozzarella and gorgonzola with tomato sauce, are just a few of the many standouts. stoneysbreadcompany.com 325 Kerr St., Oakville, ON

Saving Thyme

S

Burlington

aving Thyme owns its pun. The patisserie and restaurant is a onestop culinary delight, with peerless bistro fare, exquisite baked yummies, and perfected take-home menus. Their offerings are postcards of perfection, artistry and artisanal chic, bringing France to the GTA in a way that sets them apart.

Saving Thyme is the honoured lovechild of Alexandra and Phil Kinsman, who began their enterprise in a suburban basement in 2012, expanding to an ever-growing storefront in 2015.

Saving Thyme has quickly grown into a Burlington institution, establishing itself as one of Southern Ontario’s premier kitchens. Hamilton natives both, Alexandra plied and perfected her trade at the renowned Quatrefoil in Dundas, while Phil (an engineer by trade) adapted his scientific sensibilities to the precision of French cuisine.

MARCH 2022

And, oh, what cuisine.

The bistro’s menu features the couple’s interpretations of some classic dishes: Croque Monsieur on sourdough, chicken vol-au-vent, and classic steak frites. Their prepared meals change seasonally and specifically, and have boasted delights such as duck confit cassoulet and salmon en papillote, along with a wide array of options for every course: duck rillette, lobster spaghetti, ratatouille en croute, and more. The patisserie offers delectable options like quiche, tarts, tea boxes and canapes, as well as pastries to die for. And Saving Thyme does just that: Do you want to come in for an ambient meal and French bistro experience, or pick up a few items to take home? Either way, the Kinsmans have you covered. savingthyme.ca 450 Appleby Line, Burlington, ON

Shy’s Place

S

Dundas

tepping foot into Shy’s Place in Dundas is like walking into a memory. To say the decor is steeped in nostalgia is an understatement. The late-1800s heritage home is outfitted in reverie, complete with a main floor of hockey memorabilia that would make the Hall of Fame jealous; a Kennedy Room of Life magazine covers; the Bird’s Nest, filled with the Toronto Blue Jays; a Windsor Room of Royals; and Shy’s Room, a tribute to co-owner Rod Millard’s father Shy, for whom the establishment is named. And in these difficult times, Shy’s winterized patio is an attraction unto itself!

Oh, and the food’s incredible. Truly comfort food in the definition of comfort, under the culinary auspices of Mike Speer, known for the 494 Kitchen Co. “food bus.”

From a Hamilton food truck to a Southern Ontario institution in just four years is a story that could have come from the best Hollywood scriptwriters. But the real story is the food: Italian-influenced scratch kitchen fare boasting mouth-watering options like chorizo arrabiata macaroni, short rib beef bourguignon, and their infamous Moroccan chicken sandwich, a vestige of the food truck days. Serving lunch, brunch, and dinner with a stellar wine list and cocktails for the ages (casked red Sangria, anyone?), the Dundas staple has quickly endeared itself to the community, making it a must for any and all Southern Ontario gourmands.

1 HOTEL TORONTO ISN’T LIKE THE OTHER:

Sustainability, Luxury, and the Modern Hotel Photo: Lobby | Credit: Brandon Barre

B Y DC RU THER F OR D

Few entities define their cities like hotels. They are cultural and architectural landmarks through which we can trace our histories and mythology.

The Chateau Laurier in Ottawa, host to kings, queens, and Karsh. The Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal, in the centre of the city’s golden mile, where John and Yoko staged their 1969 bed-in. The Hotel Chelsea in Manhattan, venue for literary giants like Sam Shepard, Jack Kerouac, Mark Twain, and Tennessee Williams to craft their legacies. The Savoy in London, boasting stays by Oscar Wilde, Judy Garland, Marilyn Monroe, and the Beatles. These

hallowed estates towered (often literally) over their cities, locations where their biographies were written, cultures refined, politics argued, and cityscapes defined. The hotels represented our dreams and our realities at once.

But, like their city hosts, hotels have evolved. In the age of Airbnb and budgeting, chain hotels and alternative lodging, hotels must now not just compete for the marketplace and aspire to cultural definition, but to social and societal leadership. It is from this evolution that 1 Hotel Toronto was born.

Rockwell Group and project managed by The Athens Group, which specializes in the development of environmentally conscious upscale hospitality properties.”

“Our vision for the hotel invites guests to celebrate Toronto’s ecology through materiality and locally made artwork,” declares Rockwell Group founder David Rockwell, whose company collaborated on the design.

As the world reckons with the challenges of climate change and globalization, the marketplace and industry are more attuned to the socioeconomic and environmental responsibility that their guests demand. So how do you balance opulence with ecology?

1 Hotel Toronto sees itself as a leader in this new-age philosophy, both aesthetically and in its common practices.

To enter into 1 Hotel Toronto is to arrive in the warm embrace of their sustainability mission. Guests are greeted on arrival to a reception desk and lobby lounge draped in the backdrop of an “Eramosa stone wall with wood-like striations, which was carved out of glacial activity along nearby Eramosa River.” The venue’s ​​biophilic design – the practice of connecting people and nature within built environments and communities – was established “​​in collaboration with award-winning architecture and design firm

Floor-to-ceiling windows illuminate both the interior’s eco-reverie and the city’s majesty. One hundred and twelve guest rooms feature panoramic views and luxury full-amenity suites. Organic linens, natural cotton robes, rainfall showers, and Bamford bath products populate each room with sustainable comfort and comforts. A water filtration system and tumblers and carafes “made from reclaimed wine bottles reduce the need for single-use plastics.” A unique touch of chalkboards in rooms eliminates the need for pads of paper and adds a sense of charm and familiarity, making each room feel like home – or the kind of modern and sustainable home you wished you lived in.

OUR VISION FOR THE HOTEL INVITES GUESTS TO CELEBRATE TORONTO’S ECOLOGY THROUGH MATERIALITY & LOCALLY MADE ARTWORK.

The hotel’s design is nature-based, inspired by Toronto’s unique four-season reality and lakeside setting. The planners worked in collaboration with International Landscaping in building the most eco-friendly and geographically attuned hotel the city has ever seen. Sharon Carlson, International Landscaping development designer, celebrates a unique feature in using “local granite from the Canadian Shield. And then also just incorporating that with some native plants, mindful of the urban context.”

Over 3000 plants cultivated by International Landscaping can be found throughout 1 Hotel Toronto’s interior and exterior.

The establishment has committed itself to innumerable sustainability initiatives, such as zero waste through on-site composting, recycling all paper, plastic, glass, and hazardous waste, converting 100% of kitchen oil and grease into biofuel, and energy-efficient heating and cooling systems. Both 1 Hotel Toronto and International Landscaping “worked with local vendors and artists” in maintaining their mission, notes Carlson, including local woodworking studio Just Be Woodsy, who repurposed fallen Toronto trees into unique hand-crafted furnishings such as dining tables, grazing boards, host desks and side tables.

The attention to community and ecological concerns at 1 Hotel Toronto is seemingly endless. Using existing structures and infrastructure left over from the location’s Thompson Hotel days was key to maintaining the integrity of the project’s mandate.

“There was an existing structure that was underutilized at the pavilion by a reflecting pond,” says Carlson. “We transformed that into a functional garden for the restaurant that uses different herbs, some fruit, flowering plants, and actually grows for the venue. Just having that opportunity to have that tactile experience for some of the chefs, to come out and have that harvest and grow some of the items onsite, is a unique experience.”

The garden pavilion, which also boasts a “bee hotel” to increase pollination from local bees (plus a honey farm designed by Montreal apiarists Alvéole), supplies all on-property restaurants with herbs, fruits, lettuces, edible flowers, peppers, onions, and beans; and aspires to a larger contribution to the fare that makes its way to guests’ plates, in-room or at one of their dining options: 1 Kitchen Toronto, Flora Lounge, Casa Madera and Harriet’s Toronto. Each kitchen’s team is well-versed in eco-practices and maintains intimate relationships with local farmers to ensure farm-to-table offerings at their best while supporting their community.

All dining options at 1 Hotel Toronto offer distinctive plates, in the accommodation’s tradition of locality and sustainability, each with its own twist on the mission and with menus culled from the garden pavilion and local farmers and suppliers. 1 Kitchen Toronto’s “goal is to create an experience as close to dining by a farm or coastline in downtown Toronto with direct relationships to its beloved purveyors from the land and sea. The menu is produce-led, peppered with

artful pickling, fermenting, and smoking.” Be careful not to salivate on the elmwood! Flora Lounge, the hotel’s lobby bar, prides itself on Ontario delicacies and ingredients found no further than 100 kilometres from the venue.

The soon-to-open Casa Madera will offer a fine dining option, blending Mexican and Mediterranean influences led by Chef Olivier Le Calvez and his 25 years of experience “strongly influenced by his native country, as well as European, Asian, and Latin American techniques.”

The crown jewel atop 1 Hotel Toronto is Harriet’s Toronto (adjoining the rooftop pool), indeed a singular addition to the city's cultural venues and skyline, with a design inspired by 1920s lounges, and craft cocktails infused by the garden pavilion’s offerings.

City and lake views are complemented by 1 Hotel Toronto’s world-renowned (literally, having plied his trade in Los Angeles, Miami, Las Vegas, the Bahamas, and Saudi Arabia) Executive Chef Derek Powers Jr.’s unique menu of Japanese-inspired delicacies. But knowing the city’s climate as 1 Hotel Toronto does, the rooftop’s guests can enjoy those views and dishes year-round. Sliding glass walls and a retractable roof that makes the Rogers Centre blush with envy allow a full calendar to experience live music and DJs, surrounded by the comfort of reclaimed local elmwood that can be seen throughout the hotel. In fact, wood plays a prominent role in defining 1 Hotel Toronto’s aesthetic and mission, as a barn in Blyth, Ontario, provided the lumber.

The Chateau Laurier in Ottawa has its postcard presence, Manhattan’s Chelsea its cultural cachet, Montreal’s Queen Elizabeth its historical footnotes, and London’s Savoy its old-world regality, but for the new world, 1 Hotel Toronto is in a league of its own.

While those hotels, established landmarks all, are content with providing guests with an experience rooted in the past, in history, in legacy, 1 Hotels is leading hoteliers into a new era of sustainability, responsibility, and ecological awareness. Not only is it hyper-aware of its role in perpetuating its community, but its commitment to a socially responsible mission provides a new template for the industry. Commerce, community, and ecology can and must co-exist, and 1 Hotels is a living breathing example of how cities cannot just be defined by their hotels, but redefined by them as well: truly a “​​‘sustainable luxury experience” for the new realities of contemporary travel and lodging.

THE BENEFITS OF LISTING EXCLUSIVELY WITH CAYMAN MARSHALL

M

ost brokerages advise you to put your property into the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) system, in order to get it in front of the greatest number of prospective buyers possible. But when it comes to Muskoka property – especially in the current market – that may not be the best, or even most desirable, route for you.

Cayman Marshall has a better way to market your property, which not only ensures that only serious, wellqualified buyers view your property, but allows you to maintain your privacy and avoid the stress and hustle of listing with MLS. With a Cayman Marshall exclusive listing, your property will only be visible to members of our proprietary database. Personal viewing appointments are only scheduled after our agents have taken prospective buyers through a careful pre-screening process.

Our system works equally well for buyers. Rather than enduring the “feeding frenzy,” panic-bidding and sometimes, disappointment that accompanies desirable MLS properties, you have the assurance of knowing the property is only being seen by serious, well-qualified prospects like you, and managed exclusively through Cayman Marshall’s offices.

The success of our system speaks for itself: since last August, we’ve sold well over $133 million in exclusive sales alone. Allow us to show you the better way to sell your Muskoka property!

CAYMAN MARSHALL ADVANTAGE “Become so skilled, so vigilant, so flat-out fantastic at what you do that your talent cannot be dismissed.” – Oprah Winfrey When we opened the doors of Cayman Marshall International Realty Inc. as a small boutique brokerage firm to serve the Muskoka real estate market in 2012, we did so with the intention of redefining the level of service that clients could expect from our real estate professionals. Since then, we have grown into an impressive team of top-producing realtors and brokers, committed to ensuring our clients receive the highest level of service when buying or selling property in one of Canada’s most sought-after luxury destinations.

We at Cayman Marshall have been entrusted with the most prestigious waterfront properties in Muskoka. As leaders in luxury and waterfront real estate, we have had record sales on many of Muskoka’s finest lakes.

With sales now surpassing the billion-dollar mark, we’ve secured our position as a leader in luxury real estate.

We also offer a complete selection of luxury cottage rental properties.

We have offices in Port Carling, Toronto, and our all-new location in Huntsville, which also serves the Lake of Bays area. Our in-house IT professionals have developed proprietary online tools and software, interactive and intuitive websites, lifestyle tours, stunning photography and an astonishing network of over 400 local and international referral partners, to ensure our clients’ listings get the exposure they need to attract the most discerning local and international buyers.

We currently print eight issues of our Cayman Marshall magazine per year, with an annual distribution of 250,000. Each magazine is delivered to the front door of homes and cottages of high-net-worth clientele throughout Ontario.

We are proud to mention that the Cayman Marshall Port Carling brokerage was voted by a panel of international

judges to be the “Best Real Estate Agency in Canada,” two years in a row – a title that we cherish! Cayman Marshall was also named one of “Canada’s Fastest Growing Companies” by Maclean’s magazine two years in a row (2018 & 2019). We have also been named one of Canada’s fastest growing companies by the Globe and Mail. We expect to keep our title as the disrupter in luxury real estate.

Founded on the principles of teamwork, service and value, Cayman Marshall is the best advantage for buyers and sellers alike in Ontario. If you’re looking for a real estate solution that’s undeniably different, please reach out to myself or one of my teammates and start experiencing the advantage!
