Re: GP' in interior BC

Yes, Coldstream is pretty stunning! I'd happily live there too! I sometimes take my horse up to Vernon Riding Club and love it up there.

The rockslide is still there but they've made a much...

Re: Hiring a car longer term

Thanks for your replies. Looks like it might be worth ringing round and asking for discounts for a long term rental. We had thought about buying one and selling it a couple of months later, but I...

Re: Why Canada?

Haha... that's 2 seasons more than Britain!
I'm loving the proper seasons here... months of 30+ and then months of skiing. Very little rain and no mud. Perfect!

Re: Dog food

Royal Canin, Orijen and Acana are all readily available in both UK and Canada (BC at any rate). I fed Applaws in the UK but I can't get it here so switched to Acana. I dont think Acana 's quite as...

Goodness.... just go! Travel, explore the world, meet new people. You may stay, you may return, who knows... but you'll gain experiences that money can't buy. Life is short...live it!...

Re: Diary of our move to Canada

You should come to the Okanagan instead - wine region and snowboarding country all rolled into one! :thumbsup:

Re: Banff - things to do for non-skiers

There's lots of ways you can enjoy the winter wonderland without skiing! Definitely snowshoe around Lake Louise, and find out where you can ice skate. There used to be sleigh rides around the lake...

Re: If social media existed back then

I used to set my GCSE students a revision task of creating Facebook profiles of the prominent Nazis- they were pretty imaginative!

Re: Vegetarian or Vegan. Thoughts?

We're hiding from the usual veggie-bashing we have grown to expect! (Not on BE but in the wider world).

I became vegetarian aged 6 due to my disgust at mass farming methods in the 1980s. I have...

Re: BC Gas Price

No, not a typo! It was $1.15 but they discount it by 2cents every weekend (I only just discovered that!). Unsurprisingly they ran out of gas by the end of the weekend :rofl:

Re: BC pnp nomination

Our whole family had to do the medical for my husband to work as a doctor. You might want to check if that's the case for you. You'll also need your police checks to work with children.

I used Transfur to bring our dog from Somerset to Vancouver in September. It cost around £1200 and they were fantastic. That said, our dog is 5yrs. He was ok but rather dazed and confused, hot and...
