Janice,
There's a fairly vibrant ethnic mix in Van. which isn't as marked by neighbourhoods as in T.O. Both have their charms. Too much concrete in T.O. for me and not enough water, real beaches & no mountains. Nice to visit...
I'd be just as happy in a small place like Nelson in the midst of the mountains with everything you need there -- lake, mountains, skiing, windsurfing, artists, etc...
I haven't been back in the Maritimes much over the past 12 years or so only for 3 or so of the previous 12. Don't know about talks about nerves there but folks are more circumspect often in their language. Small town outlooks with all the good and not as good that brings. Wonderful folks overall, down home, generally!
