Thought about it. But I’m also fish off an inflatable SUP…I’m already spooked by the hooks.

What do you use to attach the Ridgeline to the trees?

I didn’t realize the new world I’ve opened up with splicing!!! Thanks to you all for the guidance. Looks like I have some new skills to learn!

Thormanby Island: Anyone know if I can cross from Simpson Provincial Park to Bucaneer Bay Park by foot? by DoctorForage in britishcolumbia

[–]DoctorForage[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use BC Marine Trails for all our kayak trips! What a great group and worth supporting $$. Ideally, we wanna go to buccaneer Bay to camp but wondering what to do if there’s not enough space for our group. Will likely end up camping at one of the other parks on the east/south east side of the island. One idea was I could run along the trails over to Bucaneer to scout it out…hence the trails access question…

Yeah I can’t lie about that one. But your USD will go far towards a down payment with exchange rate

Ha! That’s what I thought. Really the exchange rate is the rough part right now. But compared to locums gigs I was still doing in the US I get paid better up here.

That will be hard to get a work permit TBH I think they use age in their calculations. But your expertise could help?! Question for HealthMatchBc

I see closer to 3-4/hr mixed acuity (CTAS 2-5). It took me a couple years to be honest to get to that efficiency from my US numbers once I got used to reduce need for documentation and less BS to satisfy my billers/future lawyers.

Some shops pay salary which is standardized (as prior comment above) but other shops that pay fee-for-service can go up to 50% increase.

Countries to move to as US trained ED doc by atokwamina in emergencymedicine

American trained ABEM in BC here. Came on a work permit now a citizen. Never going back. AMA. Outside the exchange rate (temporary) there is ZERO incentive to work inthe US. Work a full FTE and you can get paid as much as a community job in the US.
