So, this might be an ignorant question from someone who's never worked/lived in BC, but is Kamloops/Kelowna a really big draw for jocks?? I mean, company, salary, etc aside, is the AREA a big draw for jocks?? I've heard the weather and everything is nice, beauty golf courses, etc....
It's also a great place if you like boating, skiing, sun tanning, REALLY hot summers, insanly slow summer traffic, what seems like non-stop sunshine....so it's really what you're into. Working at what was THE LIZARD...it was a blast. Going out on the lake and having fun...who else has that as part of their job? It can be a lot of fun. But the summer traffic is REALLY a pain. Getting anywhere in the summer can take what seems like hours....
I understand it's an expensive place to live now...rent and housing prices are pretty high...
I remember the expression being the Okanagan being full of Newlyweds and Nearly Deads. There used to be the infamous Sunshine Tax as well. Don't know if that is still the case. I sure do miss it since I moved away though.
I love Kelowna... and I got soft spot in my heart for Kamloops.
You could do much worse than either of those towns if you get a gig that'll pay you enough to enjoy some beach, beers, bikini clad ladies and some shredding in the winter.
Interesting. The 'rents just retired out to Kamloops and are always have been hassling me for some time to try and snag something a little closer to them, so I was curious.
