I would also say that the "vibe" changed quite a bit from the prairies into BC. More laid back and into other stuff than just work. We do like our toys and playtime. In the prairies it seemed people were there in more smaller closed communities or just to work. Not a lot of open enjoyment going on. That's not a knock perse, just an impression that could have been skewed by weather or the time of year. I envy your weather
