Just moved from north end to the bay last year, and departure bay is my favourite place that I’ve ever lived. The only thing not mentioned was all the walk to access points to Linley valley for hiking and lakes. As well the neighbours in departure bay are a community that host neighbourhood events and get togethers. Fantastic area and community
👍 You said... Grab a coffee and walk down the beach and talk to a stranger just sitting there. I love that idea, however it is not something that happens in the U.K. I guess people in Canada really are more friendly. Love it. Vancouver Island is quickly becoming a contender. All the best and thanks.
I try to keep other people out of the videos. But I can’t tell you how often I’m down here doing these video guides and people talk to me constantly. Everybody is so friendly and so excited that I am promoting their amazing little town. especially in the mornings, everybody’s sitting and enjoying the sunrise. Many people are on the beach doing stretching and yoga. This is what it’s all about, living the island life!!! Thanks for commenting!
@@Nanaimore That's nice of you to reply. Longing for a more outdoor life. For me I'm looking to see how I would live in a certain area.... Resteraunts, bars, schools, hospitals, recreation etc. Your uploads certainly help. So thanks. Oh and luckily I'm going from poor to millions 2027, so looking for a house that can accommodate 16. Technically its crypto, researched for the last 2 years and bought a fair bit. Something happening (XRP) Market will rise 12th Sep slowly and should starting moving up now. This is the bottom of the market, the best time to buy.
Love your videos and love living in Departure Bay. The area has a strong community spirit. Would sure love to see the old Amriko's site developed . Anyone want a great location to open a new restaurant?
Are there rentals in Departure Bay? I’d love to live here when I move in may! My family is going to Vancouver island in may next year and I’m planning on moving there while I’m already there! Nanaimo still my plan!
The best way to find rentals is going to be in the closed Facebook groups where landlords offered their properties for rent. The best one I’m aware of his called Nanaimo rentals.
@@Nanaimore yep! I’m still in that group from when you sent an invite last year! 🤗 I’m checking all over just to see what’s out there! Cant wait! I know locals on the island are getting frustrated with new people coming from other provinces and countries but can they blame us for wanting to move there??
When you produce your videos, can you reduce the volume of the transitional music? I have to constantly adjust my volume control whenever it switches between you talking and the music. I enjoy your videos but the music, and its volume, is a negative. Thanks.
Agreed. It varies between peoples phones, tablets, and computers. But have started lowering it in current videos like this one: th-cam.com/video/xF0Sa07uDx0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Y91qfLBkYvuVrGmy
@@Nanaimore thanks. I don't normally watch videos with transitional music, but I think it's something specific to the speakers on my tablet, as you say. Perhaps their frequency response is too good. Anyway, I'm enjoying your videos and have subscribed.
What a beautiful place!
Incredibly informative video and the best shirt I've seen in a minute. Bravo Sir!

As a recent new comer - Departure Bay is a gem.
Make sure you go up Sugar Loaf Mountian!!!

Did you see the Orcas 2 weeks ago!?!

Yes! Fish and chips and an ice cream shop need to be there!
Does it have high schools and colleges nearby I will be moving soon
How much rain do you get during the summer? It looks quite dry there.
It tends to look dry, because our grass goes dormant in the summer months.
