Well if this is the norm, then I like it alot! I was a bit worried about the humidity everyone warned us about, but as long as you have A/C it's great! Wouldn't be much fun though if you couldn't escape the heat - very lucky to have air conditioning!

We went for a walk around the neighbourhood this evening - lots of lovely trees, flowers etc. Very balmy and tropical evening. Could get used to that!
Okay, now as far as the summer weather is concerned that's more like it! And it's a big reason why people in southern Ontario love the lake resorts and cottages. Go to Grand Bend, and Port Stanley and see all the action.

Calgary is very different in the summer. Seldom gets hot, and almost never gets humid. In fact, you can get a lot of cool weather in the summer there. Then again, the air quality is better in Calgary. In London you will see a lot of hazy hot and humid days.

Investigated the costs of moving across Canada?
We won't move unless Tom gets a job - chartered accountant - so at least we'll be able to pay for the move. We know it will be expensive but haven't seriously investigated it yet until we have a job offer.

There are more jobs advertised in Tom's field in Halifax and Calgary than there are in London. Should be able to get a job fairly easily in Toronto but we'd rather go back home than do that! Nothing against Toronto in particular, just really large cities in general!

If I could push London up a bit right next to Lake Huron and find a couple of good jobs I would be very happy!!

Have you been for a November yet?

Has Tom sat the CARE exam yet?

Alberta and I assume NS will have their own institutes - assuming that he's a student member of the ICAO, has he thought about moving his membership yet?

Although you can sit the CARE exam anywhere, you have to move your membership after you've passed it.

He was planning to sit it this October in Toronto but now that our plans are up in the air, he will sit it wherever we end up! He is a student member of ICAO but is reluctant to pay the renewal fees if we end up moving. Typical accountant!

Erm .... if he doesn't pay the renewal fee, that's it, party over.

True but if we don't stay in Canada it doesn't really matter.

There are brand new lake communities in the north west now too - something to look at. Traffic around the NW isn't bad.
