Recent urban sprawl had turned the hamlet into somewhat an urban area. According to Statistics Canada, the area is one of the fastest growing community in Ontario, and the fastest growing urban area in all of Canada. [1] as the population tripled in 5 years. The urban sprawl had been taking up land where once had been a golf course.[citation needed]
