Kelowna huh? Well all I really had plans for was moving to somewhere around Vancouver.. I'd actually like to avoid that city.. too big.

Is Kelowna an expensive place to live? It looks beautiful!

Don't move to Vancouver, too much rain, too much trafic... move to the Okanagan, preferably Kelowna B.C. hot summers, mild winters, good boaring, wicked lakes.. everything ya need..

That all depends on what you like. Some people like big cities.

if ya got any specific questions i can try to ask.  if your lookign to rent here is one of teh bigger papers online that will help ya out.
http://www.buysell.com/class.asp?subclass=9&id=34&r=9&i=485

kelowna is beautifull but in my opinion is kinda far away from most things.  housing is risign very fast there, but it is everywhere in bc....its rising the fastest according to our local news station.

work is easyish to find depending on your experience.  what have you guys done before?  and have you got references?  you can get a job NO problem at shitty places liek mcdonalds.  also keep in mind minimum wage is $8 an hour.  so if you have 2+ people working minimum wage jobs you shoul dbe able to get by.  my sister is in downtown on her own and makes 11 somthing and gets by plus going to university.  its all about budsgeting.

zippoz, for what its worth i wouldnt come up in teh winter.  tree planting can make you tons of cash but it really sucks ass in teh winter.  ive only been once further north and my other sister has doen tons.  good pay if your able to plant lots.

also if your in vancouver cars will not be needed.  as much as people bitch about the transit (bus) it is rather good.

there is a HUGE construction boom going on so if thats your feild expect 20-25 hour unless your lucky enough to have some sort of specialty trade or luck out with a good comapny.  most anyone can get a job as a labourer which is usually 12 hour.

if any of you want me to check the newspapers for anything let me know :smile:  good luck.

Hey thanks for the tips kadakuda :smile:

I figured Kelowna would probably be kind of expensive. It looks really nice, though.

I don't really have any particular skills, and I'd just like to get a job working food service (hopefully staying away from fast food joints tho), or doing just data entry intro jobs somewhere. I don't know how the opportunities for that kinda stuff are, but it's all I'd need for a while..

And I'm pretty sure zippoz said he'd be going up next summer, not this winter. :wink:

oh, ya he did :smile:  missed that.

you shouldnt have any trouble getting those jobs.  but seriously save yourself the hassle and get your food safe certificate.  or whatever the equivelant is down there.  the other thing that helps incredibly is having your first aid cert.  you would be suprised how many employers will pick you if you have that.  its a one day course and like $80 here at the college.  small price for a fast job.

in food industry things like your thinking expect $8 an hour and tips, if your a waiter/ess.

also check that link i gave you for help wanted adds.  give you an idea.  closer to the date if your still coming up for sure pm me and i can scan some of the newspapers that arent on teh net for job lsitings if you need.  nothign sucks mroe than moving somewhere with no job ready.

no doot aboot it. come on up and visit eh.

victory is cool, but it doesnt really offer teh big city feel some people like. its more of a small city no sky scrapers and landscaping in most palces. if that gives any indication.

heres soem links i got on favourites.

Bus system. http://www.bctransit.com/


Maps, moreos if your into outdoor activities (hiking, hunting, off roading etc). http://maps.gov.bc.ca/

http://www.vancouverisland.com/

rest is pretty much camping/hiking stuff.

where abouts are you moving from if i may ask.

Nebraska, USA.

As I've said though, I'll be in Seattle mid-way for a while, so.. I guess technically I'm moving from Washington to BC.

Thanks for the suggestions btw :smile:

hehe nice useful thread. I got another problem, i'm a student here in toronto now but my education will finish this summer if I dont fail. I either will look for job right after, or if I cant find, maybe go to the montreal area(where I can maybe learn french).

Hey Johnny,
I am serious about moving in early '05. Have been doing my homework too.
I am split so far tho :/
I am inclined, especially since the career path I want to take leads  to the PNW, BC is where I see myself landing, I hope.
I am well read up about nationwide jobs and housing available.
As it is comming down, housing seems to be the biggest deal.
My Belle wants to hit Buffalo before going on. And even now, it is looking more like FL at this point  :nut:
(it is more organized than it looks, hehe)
Anyhoo, housing,
I shied away from the pnw right first off. Even tho my career route goes thata way, I don't know anybody, + must make a trip to see the place,  make an interview, hmmm.
I dunno yet, lessee where this goes.
O yeah, one more thing, the shroomerite community has a definite and permanent influence on my life decisions  :grin: :heart:
:mushroom2:
:peace:
