Moved to Saint John, NB...WILL WE STAY FOREVER? 

Hey everyone! What do you guys think? Big fans of warm weather or is it just us? :P

Summers in Saint John are as beautiful as being in a warm country, take it from someone born and raised in Guatemala, we have been in Canada since 1991 and YSJ has been our home since we moved. This winter is the second hardest; we found that being prepared makes a big difference and finding activities to keep entertained helps a lot!

Saint Johner here - Summer is amazing here. The city works really hard to make uptown great in the summer (events, beer gardens, etc). There is also many free beaches to swim at such as rockwood park.

Happy Birthday Irie, she is such a sweet little darling

My family and I just sold our home in SO and are making the adventure as well to Saint John. I am hoping we can cross paths and share adventure stories!

I've been here in Saint John all my life... I'm not a fan of winter and now craving for spring to start gardening, hiking and so many other outdoor activities!

Beautiful uptown 💓

I was born in NB raised in ontario and am now in the market to buy a cheap house and move back to NB in the coming months. I wish i could skip these canadian winters also i think we all do lol however canadian winters seem to be getting alot easier to deal with. enjoy the slower simpler life of NB guys the fast life of ontario is not something i will miss once i get out of here lol

Today is our last day of quarantine!!! Can't wait to head out tomorrow and check out Saint John.

I love hot weather too. love watching your channel from Markham. Stay Positive guys!

Hello Tribe! I've been a Rothesay resident for the past 23 years after moving here from Cornwall, Ontario, where I lived for seven years after leaving my hometown of Thompson, Manitoba. I only intended to be here for five years tops but ended up staying long term. Summers here are just amazing (no wonder a key industry is tourism from other parts of Canada and the world for that matter). Friends and family just love to vacation here and we love to show them around. People from Ontario just can't believe how good we have it! Winters are challenging, yes, but the average temperature in the winter here in southern NB is actually higher than Ontario. That said, two things that made winter a zillion times more tolerable for me over the years was the purchase of a good snowblower and having a heated garage built. I think those two things are ESSENTIAL to living in most of Canada, frankly. Anyway, cheers and great to have you in New Brunswick!

You are looking for a warm place and I’m just tired of that and plan moving to Canada because wanna have seasons hahaha. However, always it’s cool to experience different things in our lives ♥️♥️ Saludos desde Mexico 🇲🇽☺️

I am looking at Belize for a winter bolthole, but l will always keep my house in SJ. I will try to blend a sideline in to the journey too, sailing down the East Coast to the Yucatan, calling in to Cuba on the return to collect 90 gallons of fine Havana Rum to sail back for bottling in SJ. Selling it as a fine souvenir to the cruise ships, they will return!

I enjoy the summer temperatures in the old west side of SJ a bit cooler in the summer and it is warmer than the rest of the province in the winter. The best part of living across the harbour from the uptown is the lack of mosquitoes, and other biting insects that live up county i must admit that I enjoy having the cooling feature of having a heat pump. 😊🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖👍👍👍👍👍🙋🏼‍♀️

If you are looking for a fun thing to do, drive to the Renforth Wharf in Rothesay on the Kennebecasis River, near the lighthouse, and check out all the ice fishing shacks. It's like a village on ice! Bring a pull sled for your little girl. Wait a few days after the storm to give time for the snowmobiles to lay tracks again. Very popular spot. Maybe your little girl will get to see a fish :D Beautiful area!

It's been a VERY uncommon Winter! You guys also aren't on the snow belt. Moncton, and the area at the head of the Petitcodiac river, generally gets significantly more snow than the rest of Southern NB. Also, always remember to get your vehicle undercoated each Winter. Vehicles rust more quickly in the Maritimes because of an excess of salt on the roads.

Calgary winter is awesome, dry, snows at night then sunny during the day pretty much everyday.

Honestly Tribe, Saint John is the best move I have ever made. I have been fortunate to live in 6 of the Canadian provinces over the span of my 53 years but New Brunswick is everything that I was looking for and more. I live smack dab in the middle of the City of Saint John. I walk everywhere, and where I don't walk I only need to drive 10 minutes to find what I need. My partner Matt and I share a home that I bought three years ago for $139,000. It was built somewhere inn the middle of the 19th century but was gutted and renovated in 1921 for a family that lived there for the next 100 years. At least, until I came along. We are restoring and improving on what the last family maintained which makes us feel a part of a long tradition of remodelling and remaking instead of building new. I could go on and on but I am responding primarily because I wanted you (the Owens Tribe) to know you are not alone. The potential here feels extraordinary. Congratulations for getting through another Winter!

Saint John's number one asset is water! The Bay of Fundy, Saint John River, Kennebecasis River, Belleisle, Hammond etc.etc. Swimming, Kayaking, Sailing. Frankly you would be hard pressed to find such a network of river systems, anywhere.

Somewhere beautiful, warm, beach and secure ?? Merida, Yucatán 😌

Have you heard of missing 411 Canam with David Paulides the video that is about NB and Nova Scotia explores the Victoria , Australia, cluster the first part is about new Brunswick. You have a beautiful little girl I agree they grow up so fast . I enjoy your videos thank you for sharing.

I am big fan of Quispamsis town. But its part of Saint John... so that's why I watch. thanks

I arrived in SJ in 1997 at age 27 and I haven’t left. 😊

100% agree on liking to live in a warm area! Most of my hobbies are made for warm weather, I also get cold very easily! 😂 I feel like every time I’m cold everyone else is fine! Sorry if this sounds super creepy but I had a dream about you guys and we were in a warm tropical area in a mini modern house! Lol

Topic idea: I heard NB is the only province that has double taxation for rental houses. All other provinces already got rid off such high taxation. That's why the price for real estate is so low, nobody invests in rental homes. Any idea on that topics? Local!? thanks

Nice upload here. Thank you so much for sharing. Like 122. Have a great weekend and see you soon again.

I was born in Saint John, but living in Ontario. My partner and I have both applied to jobs in SJ, and HOPEFULLY we can move back soon. I lost my job because of COVID, and there is very little reason to stay here.

Golden Sun Please Shine On Me!!! Where are the Fifth Dimension when we need 'em? lol

One more day of quarantine!!!! 😄😄😄

New Brunswick is nice for sure. Ontario is absolutely amazing and beautiful with so much there to see and do. It has opportunity for a fast pace or an opportunity for slow. Whatever your preference.. It's unfortunate that us that love it so much are being chased out by insanely overpriced homes.. once the bubble burst I'm sure lots will be going back if the New Brunswick government doesn't lower their taxes here and start making it more affordable for heat hydro in the homes out here, along with lowering their provincial tax from 15% to 13% like Ontario. The only thing I found out here that was cheaper is the initial cost of the house. Other than that everything is through the roof. :-(. And with a very low minimum wage, highest provincial sales tax, it is very hard to make it out here if if you don't have a step up.

We’re here for 3 years already. We like here but we really miss big city life...

Saint John has always had milder winters for the area, and they've only been getting warmer with climate change

Definitely need to have more warm months, Winter is brutally long but at the same time there's so many things you can do because of winter that a lot of people around the world don't get to do like tobogganing and snowball fights!

BAHAHA MAN You guys moved here in a warm winter. LOL You had one of the easiest winters and summer in the last 20 years. :) Like Honestly. It was a super easy winter!!! Even those in Northren NB has a super easy winter. haha Wait till ya get a slush bowl winter and freezing dampness. The dampness turns everything to ice. If ya don't get it moved before it freezer. It's a brick until spring.

Warm? Come to Dubai you can't even step outside coz of the hit, am planning to move out there

You Will love the spring and summer here! Move to Moncton though. Thee best spot. The people are amazing.

i can invite you to Ghana. There is more sun.

being in Australia for 1.5 years and missing 2 winters now, I miss it haha I know they're long af and miserable BUT I miss the magic of winter, especially at Christmas. and I know when I'm back in Canada in the future that I will appreciate winter so much more and really try to make the most of it because it is so easy to hate winter lol I can totally see you guys in Costa Rica, definitely aligns with your values and what you're looking for xx

Why did you choose Saint John to move to and did you bring your furniture from Toronto ?

The Canadian weather is an absolute deal breaker. You get one life. I don't want my great grandchildren going through these winters. I am surprised people don't understand how limiting the Canadian climate is. People just put up with it. Not me.

what about cost of living? from a hydro, gas, the cost of cheese? lol small things matter :))
