But would like people idea and help on climates and weather in canada please!

We dont expect sun sun sun,cos we would have to go to aus for that(wife wanted to go there 1st off) but would like nice summers
I dont mind seasons at all but want nice summers,unlike uk!
Dont want to be bang in a city or bang in the country either!!
We would like outdoor life style(i love riding motorbikes) but we also love to shop/eat nice restuarants etc etc
Thanks for all your help

Hi Jase

It sounds like you and your family are very keen on the outdoor lifestyle.

Having lived in Australia and visited Canada, I would suggest you thoroughly research any chosen destination with regards to climate. Just a thought, but living and working in a country that experiences extremes of temperature, very different to the leisure pursuits afforded by way of climate.

I say this, as I didn't appreciate fully, the reality of living & working in a very different climate to that of the u.k. :)

Of course, this thread is a start!

Good luck to you & yours!

:)

How we would cope with it minus godknows what and a few feet of snow,well no-one could be prepared for that surely coming from uk?:D
And seems as you have some experience in living or visiting canada,any chance you could help with some more info on where why and was it ok for a family working etc etc:thumbsup:
Like you said,my posts have gotta start some where and what a better person then your goodself for helping:thumbsup:

Re: weather in canada

we had endless days of 100 plus in July and August NS is the warmest province

Sorry but I must disagree with you on both counts. Average high/low for Halifax, NS in July/August was 55/73F according to The Weather Network.

Well, my experience is more with Australia and I have only visited Ontario in the summer & fall. I agree with your question: living in the U.K, we can't have any real grasp of the realities of heavy snowfall & sub-zero temperatures. :)

My cousin lives near to Brantford (Ontario) & her three boys love the winter. And I mean really, really love it. For a living, their dad mows in the summer and snow-ploughs in the winter. They have snow-days where school (and work) is disrupted and staying at home, their only option. However, my cousin assures me, that the Canadians are prepared for such times and who am I to argue? Our country gets in a real tizz if we 'endure' anything below zero...

I found Ontario, very flat, but as a visitor, delightful. :)
