I grew up where lakes are lakes (not 3 ft deep and man made) and mountains are right across the street from your house, with wild life all around (Kitimat, B.C.) but the trend after high school was to either move to Kamloops or Calgary...I chose Calgary.
I lived there for a year and called it quites. I loved it there though, there is always stuff to do no matter the time of night. It's a great city it just wasn't for me...enviromentally that is. I need the mountains, the rivers and forests, lakes and an ocean beside me.
The one promise I made myself though was as great as the city of Calgary is for no PST, private liquor establishments, wicked summers, chinooks and hot girls everywhere...and the French Maid of course lol I would never EVER live there again un less I owned my own vehicle...couldn't stand walking, standing and walking again to work in the winters of -60C with windchill.
But even now I I don't think I could move back there...maybe one day but right now Victoria, B.C. is the place to be, it's just way to nice here all year long.
