The two mirror image homes were named after the women who originally lived in the homes (yes, adorably, both were named Dorothy).

Once at their new location, the Dorothies will be restored, and two new townhouse buildings will be built at the back.

You will be immersed in an audio-visual show of Canada on an unforgettable Ultimate Flying Ride soaring east to west over some of the most spectacular scenery the country has to offer.

Filmed entirely from a helicopter, the ride starts in the far north and then moves from east coast to west, swooping over wheat fields, rivers, frozen lakes and snowy mountain tops. The film is displayed on a custom 20-metre half spherical screen.
