    Maybe a bit too working class for some folks though.

    As a homeowner in Qualicum, I'll say it's great if you have much money.

    Beware of Parksville; it has a tent city that keeps coming back.

    I love lillooet or Clinton or Williams lake area myself. But I’m a long ways away from retiring but looking to buy up there in the future. My wife’s mom and dad now run old airport gardens in lillooet that there grandpa started. Beautiful place for sure

    Rossland. Though I am still thinking of it from the perspective of someone who skis and mountain bikes. Not sure that will be a feature when I am retired. Lillooet is great too.

    Tumbler Ridge is a wicked town, has most of everything, but for major hospital would be Dawson creek or Ft St John so a bit of a drive, but for outdoors it’s 4 seasons, lots of cheap housing etc... I’m not sure if I could retire there as it’s pretty small for me
    I like drinking beer and whiskey, shooting guns, jetboating, love a nice rack and a tight line, I am simply a sophisticated redneck...

    If it's not one thing, then it is another and another. I speak of 100 Mile. No new news is good news.
