A General Heads-Up

I don't know about you, but I tend to dread surprises.

Just before Christmas, for instance, my wife and I were surprised to find ourselves having to make a decision between how we'd live our lives and where we'd live our lives. We decided that the "how" was more important than the "where", so now we're confronted with moving our household, under strict weight allowances, by air to a different part of the country. I also have to find a new job, lucky me.

Net effect: my ability to post may or may not take a beating over the next month or two. I'm putting together the expected quarterly reports when I have spare time, so should be able to post those, but don't expect too much fluff out of me.

No problem rocky, perhaps someone can post the quarterly reports for you?

Sounds to me...

... like you're moving to a more populated area so I guess you're not moving to a location in the Yukon, the Northwest Territories or Nunavut (if I have that correct; I still can't get used to the fact that they split up the Northwest Territories).
So which part of Canada are you heading?

Thanks for the offers to post - if I think I'm going to have problems in that regard, I'll take one of you up on the offer.

I'm currently in Nunavut, and am heading down to southern Quebec, within commuting distance of Ottawa. After seven years in the North, it's going to be a very strange experience for me.

Not yet, but it's something I intend to learn. At any rate, the area I'm going to is primarily English-speaking, so I'm not going to be lost.

If you a bit of help with French maybe I can help as I am also learning this language. Though far from fluent I can manage to get by.

Lucky you. :-)

You'll get pretty far, especially if you try to speak French. I noticed that about 5 or 6 years ago when I went on a trip to Toronto, Quebec and Montreal (of course Quebec and Montreal are big cities; I wonder how I would have fared outside those cities).

I'm heading to Shawville, west of Gatineau/Hull.

I've taken introductory French training in the office, but haven't been able to devote the necessary time to it. I think the many opportunities to be exposed to it in Quebec will be a great help.
