We are thinking of renting to start with so we don't make any hasty decisions and then we can decide at our leisure.
p.s. Ive always fancied snowmobiling how expensive is it?

Just curious as to why more than one of you have discovered Stonewall? Dont know a lot about the place, I am sure it is nice, is it near your work?

I live 20 mins outside of Winnipeg, but then travelling through the city adds a lot more time depending on where I work (Electrician). I chose Eastern rural because my base is on the East side of Winnipeg:- Kildonan.
I have got used to the the journey now and tootle along Route 1 at 100kmph just like the rest of em! I consider where I live to be worth the trip, although I can also fully appreciate why people chose city life.
It does take a lot of fuel though, for me it takes $65 a week just for the commute, so chose your first car wisely, mine is a 3.0L V6, I wish I bought a 4 cylinder! but another plus is that rural property taxes are a lot cheaper, so again, horses for courses.

Hi guy's,
Sorry to resurrect this thread but I was wanting to know from Bury FC how things are going with Pauls hauling?
I am interested in a driving position with them if they use PNP/HRSDC?
I take it most of their drivers are on short haul only which would suit me 100%?
What about their pay structure as it mentions nothing on their website?
Where did you eventually settle in Manitoba?
Sorry for all the ?'s in my first post!!!
