My husband and I are thinking of relocating to Alberta. We are a young family from Ontario with an 11 year old daughter and a 7 year old son. We have been trying to do some research on different cities but all we come up with are generic things. We have been looking into Fort McMurrary (of course), Grande Prairie and area, and Cold Lake. We are really up in the air about Fort McMurray. The housing costs are nightmarish but people in Fort McMurray say the small town feel is second to none. We would really like to stay out of the bigger cities. Grande Prairie and area look beautiful and fairly new. We hear that this is the new up and coming area for Alberta. As for Cold Lake....so far we just like the housing prices...LOL....it looks beautiful too...
My husband is the Production Maintenance Supervisor for the largest generic pharmaceutical company in the Canada and deals with the fine chemicals. He has done everything from plumbing, gas fitting, project co-ordination for multi-million dollar expansions, to running a Maintenance Department of 35.
I have had the opportunity to work from home for more then 10 years doing data entry for a trucking company. Our kids are very active in sports and love playing outdoors. We are the typical Canadian family and thrive on HOCKEY!
This is obviously a huge step for us, and since we can’t just go visit (time doesn’t allow this), we thought a chat forum might be the best opportunity we have for getting some honest feedback from residents. Please, anything input would be GREAT!
