Sometimes we take strange routes to reach our ultimate destinations. Just ask Ernie & Diane Maidment.

Let's go back to 1969, when Ernie was rookie member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. A friend took him to a local curling club, and that one night changed his life forever. Not only did he fall in love with the sport (he went on to compete in four National Police Championships), but he found the true love of his life. "I remember when he walked in and all the girls joked, "there's a new fellow for you," Diane, an avid curler at the time, recalls of that fateful night. "Little did I know I'd end up marrying him."

The Road Home
That's not the only unusual road the Maidments have traveled in their more than three decades together. Due to the demands of Ernie's work with the RCMP, the two moved many times throughout his 28 years of dedicated service. Between their Eastern Canada homelands (Diane is a native of Prince Edward Island; Ernie is from Newfoundland), and numerous other destinations throughout the country, Ernie & Diane can honestly say they've found the best of both worlds now that they've settled here in Ottawa. "We have all the amenities of a major city without all the hassles," Ernie says.

The Perfect Blend
Diane has always been the type of person whose personality and energy is evident as soon as you meet her. Ernie, on the other hand, tends to be a little more reserved, more analytical and businesslike. After all, that's the police stereotype, right?

But together, much like the various elements of the Ottawa lifestyle, Ernie & Diane complement each other for the greater good. And nowhere is that more evident than in their careers as one of Ottawa's leading full-service real estate teams.
