Oakville

Ford Assembly Plant, Oakville - Tanja-Tiziana

Located to the west of Mississauga along the shores of Lake Ontario, Oakville is one of the GTA's most affluent cities. A self-contained city with all the services one would expect, Oakville's "Bronte Village Mall" functions as Oakville's historic small-town centre not far from Oakville Harbour. Though many who live in Oakville commute into Toronto for work, it is home to a number of creative centres such as the Oakville Galleries, the Sheridan Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning and the digital media business incubator, Sheridan SPARK.
