Re: need ideas where to move next
You say you've moved around BC quite a bit - where have you discounted? If you've tried Vancouver and found no work then I imagine you aren't going to find too many places that are loads better (judging on comments from posted in other areas on BE).
What kind of property are you looking for in the $200,000 range? You can find condos in that area just outside of more popular property markets around Vancouver (places like Maple Ridge, Surrey and Langley) which would all fit your bill of smaller cities (well, perhaps not Surrey) that are close to 'nature'.

Re: need ideas where to move next
Hi,
looking for some ideas where to move next. We started out in Regina SK, but did not enjoy the cold winters or the flat treeless landscape. Last year we moved around BC quite a bit but ultimately although we like it here, the job front is not very good for me! (building maintenance/ Plumber)
I have considered moving to Edmonton as there seems to be plenty of work but then we are back to the long cold winters.
Ultimately I am looking for somewhere that has trees, lakes or mountains within easy reach as well as affordable housing in the $200k range. The area must be safe and clean, and with a reasonable chance of getting work. I am currently looking at Cambridge ON, I would like to live in a smaller city or community. Any constructive advise would be appreciated greatly.
