PET TIP: Good Dental health is critical for all animals and if you check regularly and maintain your animals oral health it can save a great deal of suffering. Horses must have their teeth floated, that may apply to other large animals I honestly don’t know. Dogs and Cats can run into major problems with their teeth and if you let it get out of hand not only can it cause misery for your pet, it can cost a great deal to correct. How would you like to go through life with painful teeth.

Park Place is about quality of life! Homes at Park Place have been designed for efficiency and economy without sacrificing quality and luxury detailing. The variety of floor plans offered will appeal to young families, retirees and professionals alike. Well over half of the development site is dedicated as CVRD parkland hence the name Park Place. Award winning Cadillac Homes in its tradition will be finishing each home with a fully landscaped yard complete with automated sprinkler systems (one of the water conservation measures taken by the developers) and in doing so create an entire neighbourhood by design with beautiful streetscape.
