Wow MichelD.
There is a lot of locals growing vegetables, and the grocery store in clearwater is well stocked better than many in the city. All the trucks drive past it...duh.
Craigs bakery delivers daily up there and there is other grocery stores including bakery. in addition year round produce is grown up here buy many back yard farmers with success...
Beef,lamb,chicken,eggs.. how much do you want? My wife or I take at least two trips a month to the local abortoir (certified government kill facility) that is maybe half an hour 40 minutes from clearwater and there are many other small producers up in his neighbourhood if you want you can come help me load the next one in the trailer on the 11th. We are taking orders for the animal we are bringing in on april 28th..
Harry ignore that nay say crap...the biggest down side is at your boys age your only a couple years from grade 8 and access to more diverse high schools and university is more of a challenge... that said with some creative parenting you can make sure hes still advancing even faster than the others.
And thanks for not putting something you dont want to in your body because some beraucrat told you too.
I am sure a nice jump down in realestate from kelowna to clearwater but there is some good properties to be had there to still get a great equity ride. Oh and kokane fishing down town..swimming down town,chinook fishing down town, ect.

the way I used to look at it is, in a small town, most people know (know of) each other so it makes each person more responsible for their character. Also every person needs to interact with X number of people as they grow and develop who they are. In small towns, to get to X number of people, you will have to be more tolerant of differences (age, colour, wealth) to develop properly. In a city, you can get to X people without leaving your group. You can also be an a-hole to people and just move on to being an a-hole to different people....
Good luck to you and your family Harry !

I think that last sentence is a bit of an issue with the small town. It certainly was when I lived in a tiny town back in Europe. Kids can and do dumb things. It's enough to make ONE big mistake and you've forever locked in your fate. Steal something and the kid (and their parents) are forever the thieves family. You aren't shaking that off easily. But
Down here .... kid could change schools and might as well have moved in from Mars.
Of course, well brought up kids shouldnt Steal, but kids do dumb things. Just an example here.
Dont get me wrong. If I new we could handle it, i would be gone. Unfortunately ive been spoiled and because of my age im really starting to like the various restaurants, the access to anything i want so quick and easy. It is such a huge decision to make because if its a mistake there is no way to buy back in. If you enjoy it then good on ya and im jealous. It could be the biggest mistake ive ever made by not doing it.
