KERR STREET Ministries to the Rescue!

We are grateful to live and work in our wonderful Oakville community and there’s nothing more gratifying than lending a helping hand to support our neighbours in need.

When we feel our community has done so much to support us at Chatsworth, giving back feels right. And now is the right time to give as Kerr Street has had to step up their game to meet the increased challenges. See how their distribution has increased in the midst of the COVID 19 crisis.

NET ZERO – OAKVILLE’S FIRST as seen in WEST OF THE CITY 2024

Being a first is always an honour, a notable event . Our new custom built home recently completed in Oakville is Metro’s first NET ZERO ready home under the Canadian Home Builders Association’s Net Zero  program. West of the City magazine featured the home in its latest issue.
