Off-season rentals near Aylmer, Ontario
Aylmer is half an hour east through Sparta. It is the home of the Ontario Police College, which puts a steady stream of people in town for training blocks measured in weeks rather than years.
Residential training does not fit a normal lease. Neither does the agricultural season work that fills Aylmer and the surrounding townships. Both need furnished, flexible, month-at-a-time housing, and both fall squarely inside Port Stanley's empty season. The drive is thirty minutes on county roads with no traffic worth the name.
