Hi Carla,
Good to have another Canuck on board. I have a Sister living in Vancouver whom I visit every 2 or 3 years. Used to ski out at Whistler/Blackcomb in the 80's. My wife, Sis & her husband all went for an Alaska boat cruise one year ago this week. I love Van, checking out the ships in port and mountains. Welcome to the family, you will enjoy the new friends you make & the resources here.
Enjoy.
