My husband and I have recently relocated to Victoria, Bc with our 2.5 year old little boy

Im just reaching out to see if anybody else on here is new to the area aswell. Im hoping to arrange some kind of meet up for parents and kids to get to know people in the area and make new friends, both the adults and kids

Absolutely loving living here and now its raining it even reminds me of home Although, as IM from the north west I still talk way to quickly for any Canadians to understand me..haha!! I need British friends who will know what Im saying..haha.

Hope to connect with others in the area

We are probably going to be in Victoria, but I guess it all depends on work. I am hoping to get work with either one of the Unis, colleges, or health authority, and OH is likely to end up downtown, so areas we are looking at checking out are: Gordon Head, Fernwood, Strawberryvale and surrounding areas of all 3, plus poss Brentwood Bay. Anyone have any opinions on any of those areas?

As we are still awaiting any action re med reqs, etc., I must admit, it does still feel a little like a pipe dream, at this (late) stage... but I am sure, once we are on to PPR, we will be all hands to the deck!

Anyway, I am sure you will continue to have a fantastic time, all the better with knowing your app is nearing finalization!
