Vancouver Island is very nice (Campbell River is where I am and all the below is based on my city)...all the things you want very close to your home and a new house 1300 sq feet, with garage in a nice new neighbourhood would run you around $215,000.00+.

In C.R. it would be 20 min to diving over on Quadra Island, 25 min to Mt Washington, 20 min to a nice lake to swim and waterski, 30 min to a great place to camp and fish, hunting is just a short drive and there are all the good things about a small city here....plus we have reef shops within 1.5 hours.....and a couple shops in town with basic necessities for your tank.

We aren't booming as well right now with the mill shut down and commercial fishing and logging hitting rock bottom...however we are a city that in the end I believe will survive on small businesses.... Of course we have a hospital etc etc

The Kootenys are great. ie Nelson and area. Has all that you have mentioned plus more.

I used to live in Prince and still have family up there. Great city.

Good luck.

All those BC locations mentioned are great for recreation but if you want job it's a no brainer. Move to Calgary and holiday in all those BC places!

The Okanagan valley is a great place to live...snowboarding at Silver Star & Big White is excellent. Nurses are in good demand and there is enough business that you could probably use your Bachelors degree if you wanted to. I happen to have the same degree and I use it in what I do.

As for diving, they do dive in the various lakes around here but obviously they don't have quite the quality of diving available off the coast.

Edit: "Hey my 1000th post!"
