We decided to move further out for more Canadian schools Pitt Meadows is a good family area no rubbish here(a lot of Brits) easy commute to Burnaby about 40min. Coquitlam is closer. Maple ridge there is plenty for kids to do, clubs. Burnaby is like china town and downtown areas are Asian aswel.

Good Luck

You mention "..good family area no rubbish here(a lot of Brits)..." is this rubbish a description of waste material sitting on a street of a descriptor for a segment of the community?

As I say, sometimes posts can be read wrongly and indeed I hope I have mistaken what you are saying.
