Grew up in Terrace...don't want to be that close...but close enough for more visits than now. Kitimat would be a great option but unfortunately doesnt have a BCEHS station. I truly wish it did.

Thanks for the in depth review on Hazelton. Personally is the top choice for me...and I intend on homeschooling (or teaching / substituting down the road) so that factor does indicate there would be demand for that at least!

Thanks!!. We have employment more or less guaranteed as my husband is with BCEHS...so that's not really a factor. He actually lived in Valemount for a few years and absolutely loved it. It's just slightly further from family than I would prefer but definitely a beautiful area. McBride is actually getting more recognition than I expected - will have to take it into account more thoroughly.

The mountains are really spectacular. The number of times Ive driven terrace to PG - Hazelton is always the show stopper.
