I so understand! Alberta is so not the right place for a true BC girl either. I didn’t grow up there but oh, how I long to be back in Cranny. People say you can’t go back but I was a boomerang kid and going back in my hometown was one of the best things I could have done.

Right now I’m suffering that stay or go thing too. The longer I stay the harder it is to justify leaving but one day….

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”….

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!

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 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…
