The "My town/city doesn't have a thread" Thread!

Sinfonia

Obviously Vancouver and Toronto are the two hot emigration spots, and we've also got some other city-specific threads, so I thought it might be a nice idea to have a thread for some of the other and/or smaller towns and cities that people might have moved to/are looking to move to/are interested in visiting.

To get the ball rolling, Hi! I'm Michael. I spent the last two years in Vancouver, and just moved to Victoria a few weeks ago to live with my girlfriend after a stint of semi-long distance. It's lovely here, and reminds me of home a lot more than Vancouver. I was never really looking to be reminded of home, but now that I'm here, it is a nice feeling. I'm from Dublin, but Victoria is a bit more Galway-ish.

How about yourselves?

Nice one!
I was in NYC last year and met a young couple living in Regina, and they hated it!
They couldn't wait to get back to Ireland. It's nice to hear some good news out of that province :P

Just 10 minutes from ya, between Smiths Falls and Perth! Out here since March, only got a 12 month permit and was advised to get an extension/PR application in ASAP

I'm in Keremeos in the similkameen valley. Been from Ontario to Vancouver and never found a gem like this. I'm surrounded by mountains here and a really positive community but just like a small town at home, it has its difficulties. Has more to offer than anywhere I've ever seen without having anything too luxurious.

If your even near K Mountain I recommend stopping.

I'm picking fruit/construction/whatever. Camping with 50 others on crown land....a river bed. Different but excellent.

In Halifax, Nova Scotia for the past 2 years, I'm generally pretty settled here, I got PR a couple of months ago so it looks like I'm here for a while. Winters have been a bit grim but the summers make up for it. Love the outdoor life here though, there is so much to do.

Ya, I think it's worth giving it a go for a while. If you're into very hot sunny weather it's the place for you.
There are a fair few beaches around the lake too, and the town attracts a lot of people this time of year.
There are also a lot of wineries and vineyards in the area and if you've an interest in outdoor activities it's well worth a visit. The nightlife is pretty good too....go for it!

I'm in Vancouver but I did an interview in Saskatoon last year, I liked the place but didn't get the job. Good to hear you like SK

I love Keremeos. People wouldn't believe it's in Canada.
