16 days to go! Vancouver Island BC-on our way
 

We're moving from West Sussex UK to Vancouver Island BC with our 3 dogs, goods and chattels to follow.
Already sorted a rented property and got our fingers crossed to find work, any work to start our new life.
Tony's originally from Jersey, Channel Islands & I grew up a forces brat.
We've both moved around quite alot and are looking forward to settling in beautiful BC!

Congratulations. I hope the move goes smoothly for you. Exciting times ahead!!! Best of luck!

Hello Lisa and Tony...welcome to BE.

When are you moving? I presume it must be soon if you've already secured a rental property.

We have a large group of lovely expats who post in our Canada Forums...many of them live in the BC area. If you click on this link it will direct you to our main Canada forum. Why don't you pop over there and take a look around?

Please shout out if you require any assistance navigating the forums. The moderators for the Canada forums are Iaink and Christmasoompa...although any mod or admin will be pleased to help you.

Good luck with the move.

What part of the Island are you heading to - we're in the Comox Valley.

Good Luck with the move over.
We live in Oak Bay, in Victoria. Its a great place to live. Although the weather has been more like October the last week or so!

Re: 16 days to go! Vancouver Island BC-on our way
 

Oak Bay eh! That's a really nice area - my Auntie Dibbles lives there :cool:
We're heading up towards Campbell River & the 'boo docks'! :thumbup:

Re: 16 days to go! Vancouver Island BC-on our way
 

What are the 'boo docks'?

Re: 16 days to go! Vancouver Island BC-on our way
 

boondocks? aka the boonies...

I didn't know it's of Tagalog origin though! Learn something new everyday.
Welcome to the neighborhood!
