BWEST

We (me, my wife and 2 children) came to Victoria on vacation in the summer of 2004 and fell in love with the city, its charm, parks, beaches, lakes, hiking/cycling trails, golf courses and choice of organic farms/foods.

About 3 days into the trip my wife and I looked at each other and said out loud what we had both been thinking, "...we have to move out here". Toronto had experienced 27 'smog days' already at that point, we could barely see the CN Tower from the top of the Bayview extension and our then 3-month old son was diagnosed with mild bronchitis.
