Some posters have mentioned having already left Alberta in recent years. Others are considering it. Your reasons are your reasons and may have nothing to do with the UCP or the economy; this isn't meant to be a thread for bashing on those topics.
The intent is to provide a place where people considering a destination can ask if others have any experience with or knowledge about that destination.
In my own case, I'm wondering about Vernon in particular. What is the town like? Any experience with the schools? Neighbourhoods with good/bad reputations? Housing looks reasonable, a bit better value for money than Calgary and certainly better value for money than Kelowna (my impression so far). How does the weather compare with Calgary?
Thanks in advance for anyone with insights, and feel free to add your own questions anyone who is similarly kicking tires.

Ive lived in Kelowna the distance to Vernon is not far, so I can answer weather. It gets very hot in the summer ive had mornings where its 30c by 1000 am. So you get a real summer out in the okanagan, winters can be cold you get the white stuff. No chinooks but I never found the cold winters crazy cold, and like the lower mainland you dont plug in your cars at night.
