Georgina and I are in our early sixties and are both have retired. I worked in the mining industry as an engineer and environmental scientist and Georgina was a french teacher in the public school system and later taught English in the work place to newcomers to Canada. We enjoy hiking, skiing, canoeing, sailing, fishing and scuba diving. We have lived and worked in Western Canada, Bolivia (4 years) and Indonesia (6 years) and really enjoy learning about history, culture and language. We have three adult children and two grandchildren.

The house has 10 foot ceilings and cherry hardwood floors in the common areas and carpet in the bedrooms. A large deck makes for a comfortable place to entertain and relax on a warm day and a gas fireplace to read by on cold days.

Descripción de nuestro barrio y la zona en que se encuentra
The neighbors are friendly and the neighborhood is quiet as we are located at the end of a dead end street. There is a small square with convenience store, doctor's office, small cafe/bar, across the street from the tennis courts. One of the two entrances to the Griffith Woods park is located next to our home. The park natural with pathways throughout and is used primarily by walkers and joggers and bird watchers. We often see deer and have seen a moose a couple of times. I like to walk to the Elbow River (which flows through the park) and do some fly fishing.

Dónde ir y qué hacer mientras se esté en nuestra casa
Our home backs on to Griffith Woods with walking and jogging trails. There are also many golf courses in the area. We are 20 minutes by car to Bragg Creek which is a lovely rural village with excellent x-country skiing, snow shoeing and hiking trails. We are also 20 minutes to Canada Olympic Park (COP) with day and night skiing in the winter. We are also just an hour to the Kananaskis Village with a Nordic Spa, world class golf facility in the summer and skiing in the winter. Canmore and Banff are 60 and 80 minutes away by highway, all worth visiting. Calgary itself has many interesting activities from the Calgary Stampede and Folk Music Festival in the summer and theatre and music venues in the winter.
