are a couple of links that may help. As a nurse you will have no problem finding work, Kingston General Hospital, Hotel Dieu in Kingston, or Lennox and Addington hospital near Napanee. Lot of dealerships in Kingston for your hubby!

Hi Shelley, thank you so much for taking the time to reply and for the information. I will have a look at the websites. Do you enjoy living in Kingston?

Hi Melsa

I live just outside of Kingston -north east about 45 minutes in the countryside! So I only go to Kingston for my job and if I want to visit any big box shopping stores of which there are plenty in Kingston. Housing is more expensive there as are the property taxes, plenty of schools, nice eateries, 3 hours by car to Toronto, 2 hours to Ottawa, good Via Rail connection to Montreal and Toronto/Ottawa. I chose to live out a bit because Kingston is expanding and there are a lot of subdivisions(estates) and I came from a subdivision in the UK so wanted space around me.

If you go north of Kingston you can live in Harrowsmith, Sydenham, Inverary, Glen Burnie-all nice area's a little further out -depends what you want.

I like it much better here than when we lived near Ottawa, slightly warmer climate, nice to be by the water (St lawrence and Lake Ontario)- yep I would say its a very nice place to live!

Hi Shelley, what are the winters like and when do they generally start/finish? We want to move out when the thick of winter has gone to make the move a little easier.

Well the snow can start in November, depends -one year we didn't get any snow until Dec 26th!! The really cold months are January and February, it goes down to -30C's and maybe more with "wind chill", as it "warms up" (LOL) there is more snow, so March and April we tend to get big snow storms.

We moved May 15th 2002 from UK and its quite cool compared to the UK but warmer here than it had been if that makes sense!!!

Be happy to stay in touch-feel free to PM me and I will give you my private email address!

Melsa
