What is a big city live and raise a family in Vancouver, Canada and surrounding areas?
I really wanted to move to London from St. Louis, MO but my fiance isn't having it. We have a daughter and by the time we will be ready to move she'll be around 5. I want to live in a big city with some type of hussle and bussle. But I also want to consider living somewhere safe that has decent schools for her to go to. I will have my nursing degree and he has 9 years experience in Food and resturant management. Any considerations? Please... I need enough time to plan.

Is that London, England or London, Ontario you were interested in, because England is so expensive that I don't know how anyone can afford to live there (maybe that will make you feel better since your fiance says no way). As far as moving to Canada, instead of look at locations, maybe start by looking at what you would require as far as immigration for your family. Check out what you would require as far as being able to use your nursing degree (likely upgrading and testing to qualify). I know many nurses who have left Canada for the USA because they were offered a lot more money to work there, and the Canadian nursing qualification is considered better than the US. Relocating between our 2 countries and being able to earn a living is not the easiest thing to do and takes a lot of patience and time with the bureaucratic process.

i love new westminster, we have all kinds of fairs, festivals, celebrations, and every thing. we also have a waterfront quay, that has fireworks on holidays and special events. Its a great place has great history and schools. and some really nice housing. Its safe and has its own fire station, police force, and ambulance system and hospitals. Before Victoria, we were also the capital of the province! there are parts of New Westminster that are busy and other parts that are quiet and have beautiful housing. we also have a few great parks, my favourite is Queens park it has a spray park, petting zoo and little kids park and a big kids park, there is also a concession open in the summer. we have lots of recreation. two swimming pools, one indoor and one outdoor open in the summer. We are also very close to Vancouver which is very nice.
