The Powell River Lifestyle
Powell River is a great place for families
Courtesy
of Tourism Powell River
No matter where you are in British Columbia,
Canada or the rest of the world, Powell River is the ideal place
to live.
Powell River offers you and your family to vastly improve the
quality of your lives without having to give up the career aspirations
they have been working towards. Balance If there has been a theme
prevalent over the past 5-10 years, it has been that people are
looking for balance in their lives. The pace of life must slow
down and more time must be made for your family and your personal
needs. Moving to Powell River is the best step towards that balance.
With the daily pressures and stress melted away in our relaxed
environment, you can focus on your career and improve your life.
Location Powell River is only 20 minutes from Downtown Vancouver
by commuter plane. An $80 flight will get you to your connecting
flight more efficiently that the $40 cab ride from downtown Vancouver.
This location insulates the area from urban pressures but is close
enough to enjoy the benefits that a large centre can offer. Both
Victoria and Vancouver are 4 1/2 hours away by car, with most
of that time spent on ferries. Powell River is home to many professionals
that can telecommute or have careers with a great deal of travel.
Locals like to call Powell River, "just far enough away."
