Re: Kanata
Aw I am sure it is no shed for 1.3 million, probs with me is I value people as much as property. This is why I want to chose albeit rental pad intially in the most informed area.

weather here in west van has been really good,hardly any rainy days and many dry sunny ones over last few weeks and a fairly dry winter........also had a good dumping of snow which meant my kids skied up at cypress mount ( 20 mins door to door) right into april......so weather here so far ( since last august ) has been great..hated the 'brown/grey' season after the snow went in ottawa...just miss our 4700sq ft and 3 acres.....now in a wooden shed costing $1.3m with a tiny garden,but has decent panoramic views across the ocean (if that's any consolation).............

It depends on what you like to do...there are lots of restaurants, activities for kids (no end of things for them to do indoors in the winter and outdoors) and parents. Believe me, a snowstorm in Ottawa does not paralyze the City like the similar amount of snow in the UK.... The winter is quite sunny and if you dress warmly in layers, it isn't that bad.

Re: Kanata
believe me it is a 2000 sq ft shed....wooden weatherboard....we got a 'deal' as it cost well below bc assessed value and was land value only.......all 8045 sq ft of it..........if we had bought at the height of the boom last year it was valued for $1.78m...........i've lived in wooden sheds before in new zealand so i have experience...........good luck with your house hunt,at least it will be a 'proper' house...............cheers

Re: Kanata
Yep! what he said 
Been here 10 years and can get as bad as -40 with the wind chill. Jan/Feb are probably the worst months. Just dress in the appropriate manner, and get out and have fun with it. There are many things to do that makes the winter not seem so bad (at times!!) my kids love it and we, as a family enjoy many winter activities, both indoors and out.
Bet Michael Jackson would pay top $$$$$$ to be put on ice at -40!!
