Maybe moving :)

So after playing around with google and revisiting my child hood in Kelowna, B.C. i have decided i want to move back lol

Anyone living there currently? If so, hows the job scene out there and living costs?

[bobbo]

I haven't lived there in a number of years but I have a lot of family and friends there. It is such a beautiful place to live and I don't think you will find a big difference from Hamilton to Kelowna depending on where you are currenty living (on the mountain ect).
Jobs are not very plentiful however that does depend greatly on what you are looking for. Wages are pretty low as min wage is $8.50ish.
I'll be there for the first week in November if there is anything I can check out for you.
Good luck and I wish I could move back. It's one of the few places other then Halifax I'd consider living.

Well I'd need a job making alot more then min lol, but I've heard bc insurance is cheaper for skylines so it might all balance out lol, currently looking into hotels and the coca cola warehouse but not much I can find online for them hiring

[cooke24]

Yea.... Job scene is rough not a lot of hiring going around. Rent is insane gas is insane insurance is okay

[Nexsys]

when u said rent is insane what are we talkin? like 800-900 for a 1 bed or 1200+?

For a decent apartment/condo $1000-$1400 in an area without crackheads

My mother has a very nice new 2 bedroom with lots of storage in a very nice area just across the bridge, with more than enough space for a grand/month.
Cost of living here isn't bad and the price of fuel is certainly on par with the rest of the country. $1.219 last I looked. I'm in Kelowna now.

One less skyline in Ontario

Just kidding, that would be sweet I'd like to check out the scene over there.

Job scene here in Kelowna is scares but i guess it all depends on what you're looking to do for work. Pound the pavement enough im sure you could find something. Rent is up there for sure here but again it depends on what part of town you want to live in. I mean im sharing a 5 bedroom house with 5 people for 2000$ a month plus utilities pretty close to downtown and thats a steal.
