wanting to go back home…
Though I was born in Montreal, I was raised in BC for critical childhood years of my childhood…
Nelson, BC in the late 70’s/early 80’s was a unique place to live… it is still unique.
My mom and I found a great community there… the friends that we made quickly became our family… when we left it broke my heart and I knew that one day I would return… I want to return…
It has always been in the back of my mind but now it is right there, every day…
I want to go back home, I want to return to the family that we made there when I was young… that is still there… I want to raise my kids there…
It is scary move though and with the lack of support that we have here I am not sure how we would do it… finding a job, selling the house, moving our family of five across the country on limited funds…
I just feel that my life is at a standstill at the moment and that I need to do it…
Well see if it is meant to be…

I totally understand. I was born and raised in Trail and would love to return some day. I’m in Vancouver now and it’s not the same…
I would love to go back to my childhood home. However, we are a military family and I move wherever they tell me. Right now we live in Seoul, South Korea.
I say go for it! It sounds like a great move. Quebec is a lovely place for an alternative/homeschooling family to visit as we’re doing now but not to live. Sure, some may say that it takes a number of pioneers to *make* it a good place to live but I don’t know if I would want to be among them.
Sage and I spent the first 10 or so years of our marriage wanting to move to Canada and it wasn’t until a friend just out and asked us why we didn’t that we actually asked ourselves.
Moving across the country would be a great adventure and it sounds like there are some rewards at the end too. Good luck - I hope you make it happen!
Todd, I agree… it is really hard I believe to be an alternative family in Quebec, especially outside of Montreal. I do know that I have helped make some changes where i am now but I am tired of working toward change and I just want to live and relax with people that are already there…
I think now we need to figure out of the logistics of “how”….
