More Welcoming

Where else would a complete stranger jump in the car and direct you to an out of the way address or a realtor deliver a gift basket upon your arrival to your new home and town and where would you find people trusting and welcoming enough to invite you for "pot luck" dinner after having just met you in the park? The whole community breathes enthusiasm for embracing newcomers and making them feel at home. It's contagious and when you've been touched with that you want to spread it around!

Welcome to your new life!!

Urban Dweller: “I always have a fear of the unknown. If only I could talk to someone who actually lives there I could make a better more informed decision.

I’ve narrowed it down to the South Kootenay but what town, where is the most work, how far away are the great bike trails, do I need special qualifications, can I study there & how do I meet other mums? ”

SKP “ It’s such a safe, friendly and welcoming place that a local will think nothing of getting in your car to personally direct you to a hard-to-find address, mums will exchange phone numbers with you upon first meeting to invite you for coffee, realtors welcome you to the area with bountiful food hampers and cars stop in the main street to let you cross. Feeling like you belong when you first arrive in a new place is so important in the quest for happiness when you relocate. It’s like I grew up here”!
