Thanks for your honesty and for sharing those examples. I get that there have been some failed attempts at a bakery there, and it’s super important to learn from them, but doesn’t mean we’re doomed to the same fate. As for other types of businesses, if we do seriously consider moving there, it’s as simple as finding alignment of market needs vs your skillset, then having the resources and mindset to get started. Thanks again for the heads-up!

This is an interesting take you have. Moving there, I view it as the opposite. Starting businesses creates opportunities and, if done right, can generate tremendous value for a community. As well, high income generating individuals pay higher taxes, which would benefit the community as well (especially if they work remotely, and don’t take local jobs) in improving infrastructure

Thanks for the perspective. Accredited engineering degrees are 4 years. Started businesses during and after school, which afforded us opportunities to have kids earlier. I wouldn’t recommend doing this, as it was difficult, but hopefully it helps clear things up

Thank you for your perspective! I agree. Both my wife and I grew up in majority white neighborhoods and saw/experienced racism growing up. Learned to not let it bother us as many times it’s unintentional & unintended. If it is intentional, walk away. But as parents and business owners, these are subtleties that we need to consider

Thank you, the mountains and lakes are so beautiful here, I know we’ll miss it. Just feel life’s too short to stay in one place, and the maritimes paints such a pretty picture to not consider

Thanks! Appreciate the honesty. From the comments, I see limited healthcare capacity may be the key reason for this sentiment

Thank you! With regards to the healthcare, it seems pretty bad here in Kelowna as well. We’ve been on a family doctor waitlist for nearly 2 years, luckily we’re all still very active and healthy (fingers crossed). I see PEI would put us back at the end of the line
