I sometimes go into yahoo.ca to see what's afoot, did that this afty and there it was!
Yep, made our minds up, well...Barrie got in the way earlier...but, nope, must stay focussed, or is that blinkered?:)

Winter? It doesn't get cold in Ottawa! You.... Hahaha, I read the government blurb, there's no mention of winter, it's sunshine, sunshine, sunshine and warmth, all year round...skip across the flowers...play among the birds and bunnies, la la la...

Congrats on making the decision, we are 95% sure on Kamloops at the moment, the other 5% is PEI but until we go there we cannot rule it out.

Ottawa appears to be joint 31st city for affordable housing :thumbsup:
