I was born in 'Toronto' Ontario, Canada in the 'York-County/District'!.

Then, lived in St. Catharine's near Niagra Fall's [around 10-12 miles away]!. Of course i don't remember much of it anymore!.

Ontario is OK!, but i plan to live in KITIMAT, British Columbia, Canada!...in the 'Cable Car District'.

Just got the tree's falled, local's took most of it away [Thank-Goodness],Culvert put in the ditch,...property road entrance built over the Culvert & had fill brought in for the property to level out the landscape, Bull-Dozed, Gravel brought in for the road,...and it look's "Great"!. 131ft X 400ft lot! [1.21 Acre's],...with a 100ft X 360ft area cleared!...and the natural soil has good drainage capability!.

It's beautiful up there!, Bloody Gorgeous!. There is also an Inlet similar to a Fjord [60 Miles or near 100Km or more from the Pacific Ocean!]...is there as well!. Terrace & Prince Rupert are not too far away either!. Large enough convenient Airport's and 1st-Class Hi-Way are also part of the package!. Only an 12-13 hour drive to Vancouver, British Columbia from Kitimat!.

Check it out at the B.C. map web-Site included below!.
