Big change compared to Calgary. It is a small town, about 45 minutes to either Victoria or Nanaimo which is good so then you do have access to more things. Different weather it will be milder especially in winter. They do have a lot of things to do around there in the outdoors which is good if you like that. Chemanius is a really nice place called the Little Town That Could. They have a theater there that puts on plays each month. It is just on the other side of Duncan so a few minutes away.
