You can live better here. With scenery, fresh air and good-for-the-soul weather that makes you happy to be alive every time you look out your window. There’s a 10-minute commute to work that’s pretty much over before it starts, followed by a great job that gives a lot in return. Productive days are followed by relaxed evenings on the lake, on the trails, at cafes, at the movies, or at the rink. With a long growing season, warm Shuswap climate, and weekly farmers’ markets where you’ll meet up with all your neighbours, you can always have access to locally grown food. You can live the Hundred-Mile Diet here if you were so inclined. Define balance on your own terms and it’ll become the best kind of habit.
