We love it here

Twenty-four years ago, my family relocated to the interior of B.C. from the Lower Mainland in pursuit of a different-paced lifestyle.

We were attracted to this area because of the warmth and friendliness of the people and of their strong sense of community.

We were also attracted to the four seasons of recreational activities that nature has provided in our beautiful area. I have never looked back or regretted the decision to relocate and feel blessed to live and work in this community.
