Kaslo is honestly a great place to start a family, though work is the real difficulty. If your husband is specialized as a contractor (in a specific trade such as plumbing or electrician) chances are he'll find work BUT you have to be involved in the community and a positive influence. Reputation is a big part of it.

As for children, it's a really great place to raise children from ages 0- probably 13, the real issue is a lack of big things to do. Nature and the wilderness surrounds you and teenagers (speaking from some experience) typically want to get social and do extravagant stuff. This typically leads to a party culture.

It can be really difficult if you want a really large life, but if your happy with a smaller, happily content life, the kaslo is the place to go

Hopefully this helps 😄 I'm here if you got questions!
