As others have mentioned, if you want to move to a town like Trail it all depends on if you're ok with living in a small town. There's no right or wrong answer, it's just what's good for you and your family.
The biggest assets in the area are mainly sports and outdoor activities. If your family/kids love that stuff you'll be fine. Hockey, soccer, baseball, mountain biking are all fairly big. Rossland also has one of the better ski hills in the province, if not the country. Lots of golf courses in the area.
But if your family is looking for nightlife/entertainment and shopping you'll be extremely disappointed. Just not much around. You'll have to drive to a place like Kelowna (3+ hours) or Spokane (2+ hours) for decent shopping.
Just know what you're getting into and make an informed decision. There are pros and cons to living in a small town, but as someone who lives in one with 2 small kids that are busy in all sorts of activities I'd say there are definitely worse places to live.
Any other questions just fire away.
