Ian's Story
In 1965, we moved from south of London ON to East London and I started grade 6 at F.D. Roosevelt School. Then it was on to Clarke Road and ultimately Fanshawe College where I studied Civil Engineering.
For a couple of years, I bounced around from London to Edmonton to Mississauga to Kincardine and ended up for a summer in the Northwest Territories. After experiencing the wide open wild spaces here, and enjoying the work environment, I moved here for good.

total and complete wilderness within walking distance. You can go shopping downtown in the morning, and be canoeing on a secluded lake by lunchtime.
During the summer, you can garden until the sun sets at midnight; in the winter you can step out on the deck after supper and watch the spectacular aurora filling the entire sky. You can sail on Great Slave Lake for two days in any direction and not see another human.
I settled down late in life (after finding a good woman who tolerates my idiosyncracies) and my son was born in 1998. Life in the north has been good and I don't think I would want to change any of it.
