Welcome to Ancaster

Ancaster still exhibits the same small-town vibes as it has always had; but growth has added convenience at your fingertips. Ancaster has always been known as a tight-knit, family-friendly community, with walkability to groceries, schools, shops, churches & banks. With residents out-and-about walking & biking many beautiful tree-lined streets, the town feels active & friendly. With a welcoming sense of community and parks & recreation all across town, Ancaster has always been a lovely place to settle or to raise a family.

With the Hwy 403 & LINC in minutes, and two power-centres on either end of town, many commuters settle in Ancaster, while Big Box stores make shopping convenient. Known for its charming interior core along Wilson St., Ancaster is picturesque and quaint, with the Old Mill, Fieldcote Museum, Tennis Club and Hamilton Golf & Country Club in the heart of town. Numerous restaurants, independent shops, churches & small businesses create a sense of community. With a stunning downtown core, a weekend visit to the bakery, ice-cream shop, cheese shop or chocolate shop never disappoints! The Ancaster Heritage Day Parade & Road Race, Autumn Stroll, Lobsterfest and the Ancaster Fall Fair are a few annual events that welcome all members of the community.
