Within a 5 minute drive of our home are grocery, department and home stores, with clinics, the hospital, library, local museums, downtown shops and restaurants, beaches, dog parks and trails a short 5-10 minutes drive. Unlike larger cities, our city of ~85,000 is free of frustrating traffic!

In the winter our local ski hill Sun Peaks provides over 4,200 acres of terrain to ski or snowboard, along with over 30 km to cross country ski, snowshoe trails and many events including a winter wine festival and fondue on the mountain with a torch-lit ski into the village!
