Snowboarding
Happy Canada Day, Britain. Now Move Here and Snowboard
Today is Canada’s 141st birthday, which means I get to write this at the kitchen table, coffee in hand, instead of hopping on the bus to work (which is what I should be doing right about now). And in honour of all things Canadian, including hockey, beavers and snow sports, I present quite a large feature from The Daily Mail on Alberta’s recent efforts to woo Brtions to Canada. Alberta is in dire need of service and professional help due to the recent oil boom. Canada’s selling features? Superior public services, a much lower cost of living (but with comparable salaries) and, of course, snowboarding.
“Alberta is a big province, so whereas there is hardly any snow in the south in the winter, there is plenty of opportunity in the north for skiing, snowboarding and skating,” said Hector Goudrea, Alberta’s employment minister.
Alberta is of course home to some of our more famous ski resorts, including Sunshine Village, which is not too far from Calgary at all.
The downside to living in Alberta if you’re from, say, London? Well, the population of the entire province is much smaller than all of London. But the bars stay open longer and the scenery is to die for.
