Hi all
Weve lived in Winnipeg now for 2 years and we still havent really settled. Were thinking of moving to Nova Scotia next summer, and wondering has anyone on this forum made this move? We miss landscape, being near the coast and feel that nova scotia would more suit what were looking for, for us and our kids.
Really appreciate any thoughts,
thanks

Hi I haven't done the move but I am moving to Winnipeg shortly and just wondered if you could explain why you hadn't settled is it a bad place to live?

Hi dubliner, welcome to the forum.

Amydavid has made the move from BC to Nova Scotia and she swears it's the best thing she and her family ever did. The same as you, I think she just didn't settle there, but felt right at home in NS.

I'm sure she'll be along sometime to give you more info.

Thanks we really appreciate any comments
Were looking to move next summer and we want to be really sure that were making the right move this time. Winnipeg just isent for us. Its too insular and (ill probably be harpooned for saying this by fellow winnipegers online here), but we have found people to be not as friendly as we were led to believe, (friendly manitoba). We want to be sure this time, as our oldest son is 7, and we want this move to be the last. Again really appreciate any thoughts or advice.
thanks, dubliner

And here I am...lol

We lived in BC for 6 months and just did not like it. I can't point to one thing and say it was that that we did not like - it was the place as a whole.

We drove across the country to NS and the minute we arrived we knew we had made the right choice. It really is the best decision we could have made.

PM if you require more information :0)

I hope you'll get no problems with us from Winnipeg, different people like different things.


Are you of Irish descent? If so you might want to look at St John's, Newfoundland, I transited through the airport there a few years back, and thought I had dropped into Ireland.

Im a scouser and my wifes Scots. We lived in the Isle of Man for a few years. My neighbours are from the Emerald Isle. We all agree, culturally you'll be right at home in NS or NL. Music, beer, sense of humour, easy going folks, and generally satisfactory craic. Look us up in Truro if you come for a recce.

dubliner

Sounds good to me, we definitely miss the craic!! Wed like to do a 'recce' at some point, when we come wed love to meet up with some others from this forum. Do you have kids? We have two boys Liam 7 and Ryan 3. Were just a bit worried about moving Liam again, but we know well never settle here in Winnipeg, weve tried so hard, but its just not happening
thanks for your reply, all the best, Nichola
