6 People in Business, Friday, May 2, 2008 Women In Business When Angela Meyer arrived in Canada in 1972, her father gave her the most valuable advice she's ever received: get your real estate license. Angela listened and received her license from Sheridan College the following year. Today, 35 years after getting her real estate license, Angela is still in the business. As a sales representative with Royal LePage Credit Valley, she helps families and small businesses with all their real estate needs, whether buying or selling. Working primarily in Brampton, Mississauga and Halton Hills, Angela was drawn to the area by the friendly communities and all the open spaces. "I love Halton Hills," she says. "It's a very nice community that still has some green around it. It also has beautiful running and cycling trails." These features are what attracted Angela, who is an avid runner, to the area. Having recently found her own dream home in Terra Cotta, she wants to help other people do the same. "I love finding people nice homes in nice neighbourhoods where they wish to be," she says. "People and houses are unique. I enjoy matching the two."
