On April 28, 2025, G. Douglas Vallee Limited proudly celebrated the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the BB Ranch Equestrian Resort and Ranch in Norfolk County.
Located in the scenic countryside with breathtaking views of Lake Erie, BB Ranch is a working ranch and equestrian resort, a distinctive addition to Norfolk’s growing tourism economy.
