Variable starts $278/mo cheaper than fixed today. But variable rates move with the Bank of Canada — if they rise, your payment rises with them. This chart shows your monthly payment if BoC moves rates up or down during your term. The crossover at +0.75% is where variable becomes more expensive than today's locked fixed.
The Bank of Canada holds rates flat, cuts, or hikes less than +0.8% during your 5-year term. You'd save roughly $278/mo for as long as that holds.
BoC raises rates more than +0.8% and keeps them there. You'd be locked in below the variable rate the rest of the term.

Rochon Sands puts you within a six-minute walk of Rochon Sands Provincial Park, where the scent of pine needles mixes with lake air on warm afternoons. The shoreline becomes part of your routine here—morning coffee overlooking the water, weekend canoe trips that start from your own neighbourhood, evenings when the sunset stretches pink across the lake. The provincial park campground sits just eight minutes away on foot, close enough that you'll recognize the seasonal rhythms of families arriving each summer, the campfire smoke drifting through the trees on August nights. Life moves at a different pace when nature isn't something you drive to, but simply where you are.
