MINTO – A partnership between YOLO Nomads and the Town of Minto contrasts the increasing urban challenges of high living costs, crime and overcrowding by presenting an alternative that promises a lower living cost and a tight-knit community experience.
YOLO Nomads aims to redirect “nomad traffic from saturated tourist spots to lesser-known gems,” a release states.
“Our partnership with YOLO Nomads isn’t just a strategic step. It symbolizes our deep-rooted belief in the endless possibilities of smaller communities,” Minto economic and community development director Belinda Wick-Graham states in a press release.
“We’re dedicated to nurturing an environment where achieving a work-life balance is possible. Our commitment to economic growth while safeguarding our natural and communal legacy makes us a top destination for those seeking a fresh start.”
YOLO Nomads co-founder Luke Panek stated, “Minto exemplifies the perfect harmony between opportunity and fun. It’s where professional aspirations and lifestyle dreams intertwine, bolstered by a community that values progress and tradition—and don’t forget about the affordability.”
Minto’s success is built on a foundation of respect, volunteerism and prosperous businesses, the release states, with council, businesses and residents working together to support innovation and deliver programs, services and events.
“With schools, sports facilities, health care facilities, parks, shops, art galleries, and theatres, Minto offers everything a small town needs to thrive.”
The town also provides free programs for children, including gardening and sports programs, ensuring children have access to a well-rounded education and emotional support.
Minto has various healthcare practitioners, including family practitioners, dentists, and chiropractors.
The Palmerston and District Hospital provides 24-hour emergency services, inpatient and outpatient care and specialist clinics, ensuring residents can access comprehensive healthcare services.
