Sun Peaks ski resort (2nd largest in BC) is 45 mins drive away.

Is there much work there?

Nearly full employment, but obviously it depends on your skill set and what you're looking for.

Hello Boris

We got off onto a bad footing on other threads.

Sounds like we have an interest in common though....I am planning to head for the Okanagan, where R I C H now resides. Beautiful place, great climate, the 'lakes and mountains' you're looking for. I was out on a reccie earlier this year in fact.

If you want to compare notes let me know.

Oh and you haven't said what your significant other does, or where you are based in the UK?

Hello Saskia thank you yes it does look a beautiful place. My other half works for the fire service in N Yorkshire and is very much looking forward to the move. When are you planning on moving

Hello

Gosh the fire service in NYorkshire. I love the Yorkshire accent, whereabouts are you? I have friends in Leeds and Harrogate.

My move is fluid due to a variety of factors. Are you thinking of going for a reccie? If so, let me know and I'll do my best to help out - as indeed will many others on the site who have far more experience than I do.
