Powell River

One of the towns we have spent time in is Powell River
There is so much to like about Powell River. We did four pretty long house sits in the town. The first was last January. We were out on an acreage about 15 minutes from town. Even though it was typical west coast weather we enjoyed the people we met. I went along to some Toastmasters meetings and Paul joined a music group that appreciated his banjo playing.

The second house sit was in June and this was the view from the deck. It was a lovely small home and we would spend nearly every day walking to the beach (just by those trees).

Then in July we got our stuff packed and walked it down the street two doors to the next house sit where we got new pets and more or less the same view. It was a wonderful summer.

Then in August we returned to this town, this time staying north of town about 12 km. There we lingered on a lovely acreage with ducks and a garden that was wonderful. All of August we ate right from the garden and enjoyed huge salads, fresh bluberries and raspberries.

This town ranks #1 so far, the only drawback is that it takes two ferries to reach it from Vancouver. But the people are amazing and the living seems very good there.
