Kincardine/Grey-Bruce
Hi everyone, thanks again for your help on Ottawa Valley.
Leading on from that thread, I'm keen to hear from anyone that's lived or worked either at or near the Bruce Power nuclear site at Tiverton.
I may gain employment with Bruce Power and wanted to know your impressions of the company and the surrounding area, including Kincardine.
As I also may have the chance of working for AECL at Chalk River, I'm trying to get an idea of which is going to be our best choice
It's probably gonna come down to visiting and doing interviews at both.
But a bit of background info would certainly help our dilemma.
We're leaning towards Pembroke near Chalk River.
But we haven't visited either area yet !
Thanks good people in advance.

I've worked at the BNPD. It's bleak up there in the winter, very touristy in the summer.

Re: Kincardine/Grey-Bruce
Most people who work at Chalk River live in Deep River. Pembroke's a bit of a long drive in winter (~8 months/year 
).
Amazingly, people seem to like living in Deep River even though it's tiny and miles from anywhere (except of course from Chalk River). This seems to be because the average education level among the inhabitants is sky high and there're an awful lot of activities/clubs etc organized within the community.

Re: Kincardine/Grey-Bruce
Hello,
I just moved to the Grey Bruce area in Novemeber, my husband is working at Bruce Power. I was previously in the Vancouver area for a year so I was a wee bit worried about moving to Grey Bruce. we are living in an area called Southampton which I really like, the winter hasn't been too bad this year, a few storms where roads were closed. The towns in the area have most amenities and if you need something special it 's not too bad a drive to Toronto, Barrie or London. We live near the beach which is so lovely, I was working full-time as a nurse in Vancouver so I was worried I may get bored but I am finding lots to fill my day. My son is 10 and he has settled in really well, the community is really friendly and basically I really love it here so far, everyone tells me how gorgeous the summers are here, but I have loved the winter too.
