Thirteen Things about Fort Nelson For the past two weeks, my husband and I have been deep in thought about relocating. He has been offered a management position in Fort Nelson, BC! It is a fantastic opportunity, but I have lived in Winnipeg and the thought of relocating has me really really stressed! It's why I've been a little negligent with my blog recently. I have family and friends here that I have known my whole life, but I know I have to think of our family first. Here are 13 good reasons why we should relocate to Fort Nelson: 1. Low Unemployment Rate 2. Small Town Atmosphere (Population of 4000) 3.Located in the Northern Rockies. 4. Full Northern Living Allowance from Revenue Canada. 5. Quality Education. Also my little ones are at an age (3 & 5) where it is the perfect time to go. 6. Quality Health Services. (They have a hospital, and medical clinics) 7. Quality Recreation (Lots to do! Rec Centre, Library, WhiteWater Rafting, Hiking, Movie Theatre, Liard Hot Springs, Horse Back Riding in the mountains, great fishing) 8. Year Around Outdoor Activity. The weather is so mild all year round, you can enjoy the outside all year, instead of just 4 months like Winnipeg. 9. Great Salmon Fishing! There is a lake right at the town. 10. Good schools and preschools. 11. I would finally be just a car ride away from the ocean! Right now, we are smack dab in the middle of North America. 12. Northern Tax Deduction at income tax time. 13. My husband's salary would triple, or even more. He would get a percentage of what his branch makes each year, and with the oil rigs out there, it would be very sweet! |

Yea! I made it into the comment box! [smile]
I'd say that it looks like you have some excellent reasons to make the move, very rewarding ones. But I understand the dread, relocating is such work, and it takes time to feel at home in a new area. I wish you the best of luck in whatever choice you and yours make.
Have a terrific Thursday!
