We are interested to move to Canada but want to explore places other than Vancouver and Toronto, because we want to be in great countryside and avoid the high house prices of the cities. As Canada is huge I'm finding it hard to research places.
I'm a GP so can work in lots of places, DH can work remotely as long as fast internet. We currently live in London so are used to city life, I think a lively town would be better than somewhere very small.
What we are looking for
- can walk into countryside. We would be happy to drive to get further into countryside, but would like to be able to run/ walk into some countryside from our house
- can walk around town to schools, park, friend's houses rather than driving everywhere
- great schools primary and secondary
- safe area
- fast reliable internet
Bonuses but not essential
- railway station
- schools with good foreign language programme, in particular mandarin
- being able to get to Vancouver or Toronto within a day so DH could go in for a meeting
- not having a crazy cold winter
If you have any suggestions of towns or areas please let me know. We are very open to suggestions.
