I think if I were a little farther out, I would feel too far out. I'm very much into arts and culture too so I would want to access stuff like that regularly. Thanks for the links! I will check those out :) I'm hoping to maybe make a trip out to the Coast soon so I can do some exploring of the different areas and see what my options are, and where I feel most at home.* Mandy *https://www.blogger.com/profile/11203081224187743852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6052291516625813685.post-87112095590698411332010-06-14T22:04:54.479-07:002010-06-14T22:04:54.479-07:00Hi Mandy - Good to hear from you. Powell River is...Hi Mandy - Good to hear from you. Powell River is on the northern Sunshine Coast. You have to take two ferries from Vancouver to get here so it is almost like living on an island. There is a strong sense of community and there are many churches to choose from. Because we are a little more remote, we don't have the tourist feel of the lower Sunshine Coast. There are lots of outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, etc. We have good schools. Probably the hardest part is getting employment. A good resource in that area is Career Link. They are on Twitter and have a website if you are interested in exploring that. http://www.careerlinkbc.com/<br /><br />To learn more about our community you can read our online newspaper The PEAK. It comes out once a week on Wednesdays. http://www.prpeak.com/<br /><br />I'd be glad to answer any questions or research them for you. - MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.com
