ALL ABOUT BRIGHTON Situated on the north-east shore of Lake Ontario and nestled within one of the best protected harbours on the lake, visitors to the area fall in love with the opportunity to enjoy year-round activities including boating, golfing, fishing, quaint bed and breakfasts, antique shops, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and bird watching, all within a truly welcoming and friendly small town community.

Long known as a summer resort town, the official ‘Gateway to Presqu'ile Park’ welcomes each season with special events and activities from the Water Fowl Festival in the spring to AppleFest in the fall. Visit Proctor House Museum where you can glimpse into the life of a powerful Brighton family whose business interests played an important role in the town for more than a century. Take a step back in time at the Memory Junction Railway Museum.

Set against the natural beauty of Presqu'ile Bay, you will find an established adult lifestyle community that marries small town charm with large city amenities like grocery stores, a curling rink, an arena, banks, a liquor store as well as many restaurants, boutiques and antique stores. Brighton is also very proud of getting their own health care facility (www.brightonhealth.ca) and the hospital and shopping malls are near by.

Do you enjoy the outdoors? Living close to Presqu’ile Provincial Park and the Bay of Quinte means that the opportunity to birdwatch, sail, fish, or go for a long walk, are literally at your doorstep. There are eight area golf courses, many walking and biking trails at Presqu’ile Provincial Park, area beaches, and more.

Presqu'ile's impressive bird numbers are due to its location, shape, and diversity of habitats. A great number of birds migrate annually across eastern North America. The Great Lakes are a significant barrier to migrating birds, which are reluctant to fly over open water with no place to land in an emergency. Birds therefore routinely congregate along the shore of these lakes, waiting for favourable winds to cross, if going, or resting after crossing, if coming.

Presqu'ile, being situated on the shore of Lake Ontario, takes advantage of this phenomenon. It is Known as a bird and birding destination. Being a peninsula that sticks out into the lake, it is even more attractive to birds. If they are coming across the lake and they are tired, it offers the first refuge they see.

BARN THEATER

Brighton Barn Theatre is housed in the Proctor-Simpson Barn, which was moved from the farm of Rene and Jerry Simpson at the west end of the original Town of Brighton to its present site in Proctor Park in 1999. The original barn was built in the 1880s; reconstruction began in 2000 and modifications were completed in 2003.

Brighton Barn Theatre provides financial support for the Save Our Heritage Organization (SOHO), a charitable organization dedicated to restoring and maintaining Proctor House Museum, a historical Brighton landmark.

Furthermore, the barn is also partly a museum with interesting period displays in the downstairs lobby area.

a summer production which is often musical in nature. Several of these musicals have revolved around the World War II invasion of Normandy and were written by a local author. They were presented as a radio broadcast featuring songs and skits appropriate to the wartime years. Part of the proceeds of these shows was donated toward the construction of the Juno Beach Memorial to the Canadian participation in the invasion of Normandy.

Just before Christmas, The Barn presents a weekend production that entertains with many of the season’s favourite songs. The music and heartwarming dialogue help everyone get into the Christmas spirit.

As a matter of fact, Victoria Carter (Real Estate Broker from the TwoMoveYou Guaranteed Real Estate Services) performed in a Norm Foster play "The Ladies Foursome" at The Barn Theatre in 2019. Did you know that Victoria has 3 University degrees?

She is highly educated, talented and personable. She and her team are the perfect group to represent you in your real estate sales!
