Pendor Harbour does sound nice. I have never been to British Columbia but I certainly would like to visit this little paradise. However, it might be too quiet for you. Montreal would be a good choice. Not expensive (although real estate has just risen above reasonable levels), entertaining, bilingual, close to the States, on the water (St. Lawrence River) cosmopolitan, friendly, open to new ideas and people. Americans who come here for a visit often make the choice to move here. I live here and love it. Check it on the internet. |

I came to live in Canada thirty years ago from England and I love it here. I live in Southern Ontario, in a fairly small town - St Thomas.
This is a great place to live, its a fairly small Canadian city with a population of 34,000, yet close to London, Ontario, which has a population of 300,000. London has a University, several world-class hospitals, Art Galleries, Museums, Festivals, lots to do in the summer.
Summer here can get pretty hot and humid, but we have breath-taking Autumns - the colours are beautiful.
Winters are not too cold, crisp and crunchy - you are almost sure to get a "white" Christmas here! We can ski and ride our snowmobiles here and our children can skate.
We have affordable housing, good schools, lots of open spaces and recreational activities (hockey, soccer, baseball), a hospital, a Municipal Airport, enough industry to keep people employed, and we are surrounded by agricultural land - corn, soya beans, tobacco, dairy farms and lots of orchards and vineyards.
You can still buy a brand new detached home here for under $200,000 Canadian dollars and there are several homes in St Thomas for sale that are under $140,000
We are about ten minutes from the beautiful sandy beaches on the north shore of Lake Erie and are less than two hours drive from Toronto, Niagara Falls, Windsor or Detroit.
Southwestern Ontario has been a great place to raise my family and I have no regrets about moving here from England.
Check out this site that tells you all about the area of Southern Ontario where I live, as there are several cities such as Kitchener & London, smaller towns like Stratford & Ingersoll, and some pretty and interesting villages in this area - Sparta, Port Stanley, St Marys.
This site gives some info - http://www.discover-southern-ontario.com it has information about the area. |

Anywhere noth of Vancouver on the SUNSHINE COAST---it's absolutely BEAUTIFUL there---my parents have lived there for 20 YEARS (they moved from here in New York)... there are beautiful sea shores, lovely little towns, the OCEAN, and it rarely goes below 30 degrees in the winter and it DOES snow, but only a little and according to my mom it's gone in a day or two...it rains a LOT on the west coast, but it's better then snow---also the summers are NOT extremely hot like here in a LOT of the states....and not humid... I usually go up there in July and the weather is always bright, sunny, about 80 degrees and NO HUMIDITY...it gets humid once in a while but not often... if I COULD, I would live there myself--the people are wonderfully friendly, the ocean is gorgeous--now where my parent live is about 100 miles NORTH of Vancouver, they have a beautiful house that would have cost them TRIPLE in the US then they paid in Canada... you'd love it where they are ---it's called PENDOR HARBOUR...... kind of reminds me of Nantucket without all the people... |
